I was just going by the estimated hp/weight ratio. The cayman s has a hp/weight ratio of 10.5. Motortrend achieved a 0-60 time of 4.8 and 13.3 quarter mile at 105 mph in this car.

We know the 370z is going to have 332hp. We also know that the 370z is going to weigh 95lbs less than the 350z. The 350z weighs 3,339 lbs so subtract 95 off of that and we get 3,244 lbs. 3,244 divided by 332 is 9.7. So 9.7 is clearly better than 10.5 so that is how I came up with my estimates.

Also, keep in mind porsche says 4.9 so that when the mags run times of 4.7 it will make them look better.

I think the ring time we be somewhere in between 8:10-8:20. Slalom of 71.X seems reasonable.
