Of course the Z IS faster. I don't think anyone here has claimed otherwise. Feels faster is, again, about the sensation of feeling you get from the car, not from what numbers it puts down at the local dragstrip or roadcourse.

Which is faster on a track is objective and really has zero to do with whether or not I want a car personally. I want a car that I enjoy driving, not a car that puts down xx.x quarter mile times. I have a feeling that anyone here who wants a 13 second quarter mile car are going to be hugely disappointed.. I just hope those of us here to get a car that is engaging and fun to drive aren't also disappointed..
