I've always wondered this about these cars. It seems to be pretty specific to these cars at that. On many forums there's a few that run slow, and some run fast...but usually there is an accepted time to run. 6mph difference as listed is a HUGE difference, especially inside the car..that's something like a 30-50hp difference no?

So, why is the Z different?

A few things come to mind. One definitely has to do with driving. WOT shifting makes a pretty big difference when racing. I don't do it much, but I do wonder if my times would improve much doing it.

I also wonder how much oil temps and whatnot have to do with it as well. Seems this car is very picky about little things like that no?
