If the stock FT-86 can pass this test, it's the better sports car, regardless of trap speed, cornering g force, or any other metric...as the 370Z is legendary for its weak knees under stress.

I reported back in post #390 that all 2012 370Z's NOW come standard with an oil cooler at no extra charge.

So #1 and #3 are no longer a problem and have been fixed. 2 and 4 not so much
