The closest you can get with JUST N/A would probably be in an auto with bolt ons (intake, exhaust, high flow cats)
The 370Z auto does 0-60 in 4.5~ seconds, and the 1/4 mile in 13~ seconds, and has been recorded as low as 12.2 all motor (probably without an interior and drag radials)
You CAN also change the gearing for better acceleration, but I don't know if anyone has posted official times with modded gearing...

Forced induction 11's

There is no replacement for displacement, but what's the point of the displacement if you can't turn while using it? (Honestly, I'm not racing, but I do like to accelerate quickly at lights sometimes, so yeah, I usually only use the straight line speed, but I get a laugh in the 370 over the Camaro/Mustang... They feel really lazy to me even though they aren't slow, just my opinion)


(I used motortrend for an apples to apples comparison, and our track times page for times...
official 1/4 mile track times
I would've linked MT, but I don't want to link the mobile website since I'm on my phone)

the Z's not meant for drag...yah if you want muscle and raw power in a straight line then of course opt for the maro or stang....but start hitting corners, there's no match to the Z. sht if I wanted a great 1/4mi time then I would of bought myself the GT-R lol

Wait, so you can afford a GT-R, and you like cars that handle well... How did you end up with a 370Z??? The GT-R is faster in a line, a turn, upside down, on two wheels, and ANY other scenario you can possibly think of , lol

I'm bustin' your balls, but I just didn't get that part of the statement, lol



In any case, OP, good luck deciding what car to get,I (and let me assume 99% of this forum is the same) HONESTLY don't care what you get, all of us on the forum probably want another 370Z brother, and I'm sure we can all give you stories to persuade you like saying our Z's get us laid every night, but I'm sure the Camaro guys will say the same, LOL!!!


Just keep us posted, we all wanna see new shiny cars no matter what they are.
May I ask why Camaro over Mustang?

Let me rephrase that...(clears throat) if I could afford the GT-R I would of got it, sht if I could afford a stang and a maro I would of gotten those too and just have a line of parked pretty cars in my drive way....like you mentioned above would love to welcome another Z brother but any vehicle you choose is gonna be a fine pick.....but the Z is still sexier lol

the Z is NOT a car meant for the strip or drag. its a delicacy thats meant to chewed slowly and enjoyed, not rammed down your throat with brute force
