I would have to agree with HDDP on this one... The 350Z is a VERY competent car for road racing situations.
I was having a VERY hard time keeping up with the two stock models in my HPDE level 1 class and they were running just about the same as me as far as experience.
They hug the curves just as well as an SRT6, but I doubt that a limited would be able to hold that same line as the sway bars are weaker.
Maybe the 350Zs you've been up against are just crap drivers gurutek24?
