I get the same response from owners of these things at my work.
Quotes like "oh they are so quick", "Nothing can keep up with me". Yeah right.
Straight line they maybe quick, but as soon as they get on the twistys I cant see them keeping up with an Elise of any version.

The styling on them is great, I like the look of them a lot, but other than that.........

Straight and twisty, all he could do was admire from a distance. It was a short blat, 1 large and awkward roundabout and 1 small stretch of dual carrigeway.

I had the wife and the dog in the car so I did not want to go too mad.

On the roundabout I thought he had given up! I got stuck behind some hyanddry, the hyanddry moved over as the 350 came belting up behind me. I waited for him to loose his momentum, then hoofed it again. By the time I was at the second roundabout he was 4-6 car lengths away.

The wife was getting restless so I had to leave it then. I had prooved my point.

I have proved on several occasion and so has my mate who bought my old clio that 350Zs are not all that. Think someone was annoyed when test driving a 350Z and getting wasted by an L reg clio.

But you have to remember with all these jap cars they may have alot of power and a big reputation for being fast but in all honesty they are very heavy.
