Here's one that I have. 0-60 stock 5.9 secs added drop ins now 5.3 secs. Those aren't best times just average not hard launches either, just engaging the clutch and hittin the gas.

What you seem to be talking about is 5-60. Stock, the 370Z is tested to do 5-60 in about 5.8-5.9 seconds.

All too often people get caught up in 0-60 and don't stop and realise that this is with a pro driver and a 3 or 4000rpm clutch drop, feathering the cluth/throttle.

You aren't likely to do this on the street nearly as often as a quick romp from the bottom of first.

When I wonder about a car's "real world" performance, I just google the C&D 5-60 test for that car. It's an eye-opener, and it seems to correlate VERY well to how the car feels on the street after you get past all the magazine-racer BS.
