Yes, very much so. It was a manual transmission and he was redlining it all the time trying to prove how fast it was. It felt like a 4-cyl... maybe on par with the Pulsar SE I had.

The advantages are you can run a larger rotor that otherwise might not fit inside the rim and allows the use of a wider rim and or greater offset.

I raced my friend when I had my 1992 Camaro RS (3.1L 5-speed) against his 1980 280zx 2+2 5-speed. He beat me by like half a car from a dead stop to well over 100mph. My Camaro was rated at 140hp, 180ft-lbs and a curb weight of just over 3,100lbs. Could have been the launch but the cars were very close. Either way, the ZX won.
