heres a serious note:
just try to work on ur launches by practicing how to engage the gears best on liftoff, and pretty much shift at redline as quick as possible. with a 6mt, i guess it juss takes practice for what the car can do, cuz if ur not that great of a driver, u might be pulling around the 6 second range for 0-60. it takes the driver and the car together to pull good runs. basically, it takes practice to get good timing on the 0-60. And the Z cant quite reach 60 on second gear, it can reach onli around 57-58ish at the end of second gear fyi. good luck.
