a 10 second 1/4 is more impressive than I think most people realize. Takes quite a bit of work, power, parts, and practice.

2013 GTR... 1/4 mile in 10.8 @ 125 mph

But not a whole lot to do in that car to get those kinds of times consistently. Kinda like a Ronco Rotisserie Oven. Just set it and forget it.

GT-R is a beast.

Or a plain ole 5.0. Spend a few bucks on a blower and a set of ET streets and you're there. Hell they even get there NA (with a bit of weight reduction.)

The Z, though... yes 10s would be impressive. AFAIK the quickest 370 is running low 11s.

Seriously...talk about an over-generalization lol.

In which case, you could argue that the Z is a terrible platform compared to so many other choices.

Lol I know, what I meant was an out of the box car that doesn't cost a crapload of money that can run 10's.

Low 11's is pretty damn quick in a 370. Is that in a built 7AT?

If you want to take it to any one extreme it kinda is. It just doesn't have a robust aftermarket, especially for straight line stuff... it's practically nonexistent. Road track support is much better.

Here is the list of top times on the forum, Jay:

Top time is not even a Z. TerribleONE is our quickest at 11.493 with a 6MT.

So what you're saying is, it's about as bad as making the 370Z a rallycross car? Lol

Also, that list is...pitiful. So many cars well into the 400-500 WHP range, and none in the 10s seems horrible.

I'm honestly not surprised to see any 6MT's here in the 10's. I'm sure with a built automatic there are a few in this list that could crack into the 10's.

Especially considering the tires many are running. Some have pretty decent trap speeds, like you'd expect from a car with power, but they just don't like to go from a stop.
