I thought some had more than 300bhp
They do of course. But my point being is the 350z isnt the out and out sports car people think or want it to be. It's slower than most diesel barges and pseudo sports cars these days. Doesn't make it a bad thing as the 350 excels in many areas IMO especially the non tangible ones. Plus IMO its a purdy car. BUT don't kid your self into thinking you drive one of thr fastest things on the road as these is many many many things much much much faster than the Z. So if you want to talk about "going fast" then you should have bought a faster more concentrated car.
You must have awful driving skills if you think a diesel barge is quicker. Yes its not an out and out sports car but it is still 'fast'. Its quicker than 9 out of 10 cars on the road so therefore it comes under the fast category.
Ha! A fast diesel! What's next? Women having the vote? Abolishing slavery?
It's all relative, the BMW 330D, Merc C350, Audi A4 3 litre diesel, Jag 3.0 diesel S are all close to the 5.7 0-60 of the 350 whereas the BMW 535D has a 0-60 time of 5.5 seconds. None of those cars will handle badly and will hold their own in the corners. Ok, they will never be as fun to drive, and they cost more, but they would certainly put up a very good fight against the zed.
Maybe you're just a driving god and should be in a race paddock somewhere :shrugs:
Thanks!
