370Z Road Test Results

Inspector71 · 10-21-2009, 02:44 PM

I went online and Road & Track, Car & Driver, and others have road tests for the 2009 Z. What I wanted was the zero to 60, elapsed quarter mile time and speed, and top speed one could expect to get from this car with a 6 speed manual. I found everything from 0 to 60 in 4.6 secs to 5.1 secs, and the same variation for the other categories. Is there a website or does anyone have the data for these categories? Thanks in advance.

You already have the information you seek, young padawan. Go forth, and enjoy thy numbers.

Errr...people generate those numbers, not some consistent 0-60 machine.

Unless you're pretty good you probably won't be able to match them anyway. Personally i wouldn't worry too much about it..

People are getting the faster times you posted with the 7at and the slower numbers with the 6mt. Same will apply to the 1/4 times.

FWIW and for accuracy, the 6MT has also been recorded at 4.6s by Car and Driver.

My bad. Motortrend pulled a 4.7 out of the 6MT. I have too many car magazines on my desk.

I like the way Motortrend drives. They seem to emulate what the guys at the fast strips do.

One of the things that struck me in one of the C&D articles was that their long-term tester isn't getting much mileage. They're all complaining about lack of storage and road noise. Pretty sad.

Car & Driver ain't what it used to be.

I'll take them over Edmunds. I think my granny drives for them!
