False, drive an E46m3 and get back to me... your car feels fine, the super short gearing and the turbro make it seem a lot more powerful than it is, which is okay.
Oh wow that bad, huh?
To keep up with traffic you need to shift at 4000rpm... which is past the rasp at 3500, which makes you feel like your car is broken, which it truly is. Botched fking engineering.
Add a cracking subframe, unicorn oil, fucked up vanos after 50-70k miles, bespoke M parts in every part of the car that cost 2-3 more than regular E46 parts, and basically the car makes the same amount of power as any other E46 but it just revs higher... 370z was so much better in every way.

Oh for sure, I am totally on board with that assessment. Only thing the Zed lacks is the dog shelf, which sadly put it out of contention for me.
