Cars that come off the assembly line and can perform well on the track with no major modifications. Generally what tend to be good stock autocross cars. Vettes, RX8, Mazdaspeed, Zeds, Evos, etc. are all models that seem to handle well right off the line and have at least some track testing or expectations in their model development.

Anything at this point about the 370Z is just conjecture - a few magazines have tested them - but they can be unreliable sources. Also, when Isley drove one, it wasn't the "sport model" with the vlsd, but the base with the open diff.

I would tink the 370Z would be an 8/10ths track car out of the box, but anyone looking to get into serious track driving would probably want to upgrade to a mechanical lsd pretty early on. If I was in the market for a 2 seater, it would be on my list along with the S2000 CR, pre-owned Cayman S, etc.
