Acceleration graph

When 350Z came around, there was nothing like this, then there was a Cayman, and Z4coupe,
But still, 350Z looks great.
As competition from 2002 to 2005 it have no competitors imo. Then in 2005, still looks better.
Onluy Z4Si and CaymanS become better, but now we got 370Z anyway.
