Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - Please help me with this 0-60 time (best 6.22)

Guys, I just cannot get my Z 0 to 60 any faster than 6.22 (average is about 6.35).

I am spinning the tires a good bit with the high rpm launches but....I think I should still see better than 6.22 as consistent as the take offs are.

I have tried dumping the clutch at low RPM and high RPM, I've tried feathering the clutch at low and high RPM.

The best times are coming from launching at about 5000-6000 RPM and not dumping the clutch....just letting off of it smoothly. But, I can smell that clutch burning pretty good doing that.

I want to start my turbo build this weekend, but I would really like to figure this out first. Any ideas? Is this normal?
