eh, different class of cars but here some relevant numbers. also i should point out nissan/infiniti are still using the old SAE method so the numbers are a bit bloated. naturally, the larger displacemnet of the 350z should have more torque but it kicks in a bit later than the 330. so in my opinion itll be a pretty damn close race. driver skill should be the x-factor. but than again who cares.
im happy in my pretty-quick
luxury sport sedan rather than a not-so-quick sport coupe. but still props to nissan for bringing an exciting car
oh and props to BMW for having such a damn fine enginered 3 litter. look at those numbers and mpg to boot
