****Summary of Z Data****
Straight line Peformance
Derived from data on Z's listed as bone stock from the 1/4 thread: M (SD) N
MT: 13.67 sec (.07), 103.63 MPH (.40), 11
AT: 13.52 sec (.08), 104.62 MPH (.92), 9
Values do not include clear outliers or folks with bolt-on's, different gear sets, etc.
Last I looked, not enough data for the Nismo edition, but keep in mind that while it has extra power it also weighs more than the non-Nismo Z's, so probably not very different on the average.
*************************************************
Dynojet derived whp and drivetrain loss
Average power for 370Z or G37: 273 +/-5
Average power for Nismo version: 290 +/-5
Drive train losses for both AT and MT appear to be between 16.5% and 17.5%
EDIT: Note -- data for non-nismo cars are based on 4th gear pulls. Peak values, especially for torque, tend to be about 4% higher in 5th gear.
Both are legitimate for testing; although 5th gear is 1:1 gearing, runs in that gear also put a bit more stress on the motor relative to 4th.
Be sure to compare and contrast dyno runs in same gear.

Individual results may vary.
