Sure as hell isn't my definition of pummelled........

Unsurprisingly, the 3L V6 has better pull above about 80mph........I thought it was closely matched.

Interesting they seemed dead even off the start...

Unimpressed by the S2000 driver. He was clog dancing mid bend as the 350 went by............

I have driven Z's and they seem realy fast in a straight line but a lot heavier and looser feeling chassis.

I think if the Z had been in front from the start, the difference would have been even worse!

I saw a lap with old vs new Z and the new one managed quite a difference, and I think it was just from an increased redline.

Still would never have one - ugly as sin.

Meh. There is as many video's of S's pulling that kind of margin on a 350Z. I've owned a 350Z, and It's only marginally quicker above 80 (280bhp model). The PWR are similar, and the S benefits from better gearing. Round the twisties I'd be confident I could stay well ahead of a 280bhp Z. The new 310bhp one is probably quicker in a straight line, but will still be the same bloater in the twisties.
