jstramotas, you live in PVE as in Palos Verdes Estates? If so we might be neighbors! Anyways, back to this topic. I just wanted to add some more thoughts to this subject. I think the points mentioned are all valid and well thought. We have the weight factor, the gearing factor, the power curve factor, and so on and so forth. Not really mentioned in depth is the transmission factor. I'm not talking about 5 speed vs 6 speed, that probably falls into gearing. I'm talking about drive train loss. I'm talking about a good transmission and a good drive line that retains most of the hp from the crank. I've tested cars with the same hp rated at the crank, but the hp to the wheels are totally different. I have test AWD sports cars and the drivetrain loss is enormous, but is compensated with the AWD traction. I really don't know how to answer this "350Z vs NSX" numbers question. I just wanted to add another point of view.Ryan
