No offense to the OP, but this thread is kinda stupid. If you're gonna magazine race, go with 1/4 times and trap speeds....heck, even lap times (you even posted a pic of a tree at a drag strip for Christ sake). 0-60 times is for people who only pretend to know anything about cars. It's a bit childish to be honest.

Well if this isn't your flavor... perhaps $/hp is more of your liking?

And yes, saying this is stupid is offensive. :icon23:

was not specified in original post sooooooo :p

i thought magazine spec-racing was for civic folks. :shakes head:

Racing? nah, just made a list. Racing is done with the engine running, thank you :tup:

why are 3 out of our first 5 threads comparing the z to every car in a straight line and in hp....

2010 Infiniti G37 Sport Coupe 0-60 mph 5.2 Quarter mile 13.7

because someone was probably gang raped by rich kids with faster cars... on paper.

what if i write the Z does 0-60 in 3.1 seconds on a piece of paper.... are we faster then??

I use 0-60 times when comparing cars, though it's clearly not the end-all be-all statistic. I do have some personal criteria though.

- try to stick with the same source for times. Mags will run a car over and over in various ways until they get THE fastest time they can eke out of a run. That's the number they use. It might not be a practical number for most of us that don't drag. Every source runs differently and with different numbers. But as long as you're measuring with the same test, you can do some valid comparisons. (test road, test driver(s), conditions, altitude, stockness...)

- mag times aren't going to be times that I experience on the road. But it still does demonstrate straight line speed in a test. *shrug*

- It's not a "stupid" statistic. :rolleyes: It's not the only statistic, but it's not a stupid one.

- I don't "race" my car, so it's not like I have firsthand times on hand, just like a large majority of drivers. I'll let someone else "race" the car and come back with times. Just because that happens, doesn't make the statistic "stupid."

5.1 is without rollout on 370Z (Edmonds). 1 foot rollout gets under 5 seconds.

I say no rollout. And I like citing one source vs cherry picking each magazine and manufacturer for best times.

It doesn't matter really. I've got a Z and it is what it is. Wonderful. :tup:

hayabusas are absolute garbage! take your chromed out, lowered, stretch, paper weight to the dump.

and my bone stock z has beat multiple 5.0 stangs.

Nope. The Edmunds site clearly states the 5.1 is will 1' rollout.

There are very few places that report 0-60 without rollout.

I could have swore the Z auto is 4.7

0-60 times vary dramatically depending on a huge variety of factors, and they're generally of very little value.
