370z 50-100mph tread. Everyone post.

What difference does it make?
It helps us all of us know an accurate reading of what a stock-ish 370z does in comparison with all the other cars that OP listed.

If you have the vbox/pbox or whatever you keep calling it, and are that concerned with $5-10, haha I will personally PayPal gift you $10, you can put a quarter tank of gas in, and get accurate readings for the rest of us members that actually want to know how our car ranks haha - in the meantime, ill try and get some filming and see if I can get to a safe track or road!

I'll bet it'll be the same or a tenth faster than the G37 for a stock Z.

Well its more of a thread for modded cars. I mean we can do a stock 370z but its more to see if I can beat you for example. It's no different than the dyno brag thread. Except that thread is full of fail with mustang vs dynojet vs whatever with SAE vs STD vs uncorrected etc.

And again not everyone can drag race. So from a roll with 1 shift maybe for 50-100 we can truly see who has the fastest most HP Z.

The other thing is since we are RWD we suck no matter what at drag racing which a lot of people including me love to do. I'm not just a 100% circuit track nut. Turbo'd Z's are slow as **** at the drag with 500HP so I want to see what they can do against an AWD subi or evo for example if they meet on the highway at 50mph. One of those at 500hp is a 10 second car. We're lucky to reach 11's.

Understandable- I am not saying that I am timing myself because I have the fastest or Cossie has the fastest. I was just more or less wanting a base number for stock Z's and that way we can compare to some of the higher modded Z's on here. Thats why i suggested timing my stock Z for a baseline, but chuck was right. It'll probably be pretty close to the g37. Weight difference, but wouldn't effect it that much..

I have however had better times then a 6spd with mods dyno-ing 10-20whp more then me. So like you said, dyno numbers read much different then driving and doing 50-100 pulls

see you have the right idea! I want to know what spohn does. he weighs like 300lbs less than me. id like to see what that means. a dyno or drag really isn't going to tell me since he might be faster or slower than me. but one shift isn't going to change the time really. if its a big difference than ill bust out the saw

Interesting thread...i didn't read the whole thread but the few things i read through are a little confusing lol... I understand that you want to find out how fast we can go from 50-100 and we could fly through those 50mph if we want to, BUT you also mentioned early is to see how we would stack up against and evo or subi starting at 50mph then going to 100mph on the highway or so?? those are two different test that should be done don't you think? 50-100 (ricer fly by, no offense intended it just reminds me of civics racing from different start points at different speeds) and steady 50-100 which it will be a more realistic scenario.

synolimit

i get what youre saying but youre quoting months ago, so let me rephrase then. i want to take the drag racing out of it. i want the skill level equal. we can all roll and push a pedal. so start at 20 and go to whatever. the first 49 cars i posted are all 50-100 taken from a drag strip. so the next 37 cars you see are done the same way. hence the consistency comment. you see me on that second list twice...consistent i promise you. i dont know where or how you get your numbers. im just telling you to get them the fastest way possible. in the end we shall see who has what and who wins bragging rights. also this is a perfect test for you to see what parts did what to your car. this is a real rolling dyno.

PS and to me a 50 roll isnt "more realistic." to me whenever ive rolled its at a slow enough speed in 1st. but im not going to say do 10 or 20 or 30 etc because then skill comes into play with shifting more and it'd be hard for everyone to keep it the same. im only showing you what a magazine showed you!

ok....so if you're going to race someone in a "close street" starting at 50mph its not more realistic?? and what magazine showed me what??

synolimit

Like I just said, no. A drag from a roll always happens in 1st. If not first then second at 20-30 max. To me that's realistic as that's what I've seen and done since 16.

The first 49 posted were from a magazine. Meaning you saw, I saw, it's public knowledge. I don't mean you literally read the article, but I'm saying its a copy of it that I posted.

So you started at a roll in first but the race did not "start" until one of you hit 50mph?

No need to answer, i do not want to create any argument of any kind specially online. You have your opinion I have mine.

cossie1600

The point is that this car makes about 275rwhp, it's time is going to be similar to cars like the Evo with the same weight to hp ratio. The variance you get would be so small that you really have no way to test this unless you have a data logger than can do 10 hertz per second (phone is 1). You can essentially get the same by looking at the trap speed in the quarter mile. It doesn't matter. If you look at the trap speed, you will probably get the same order.
