Default What is stock 0-60 time?

I've searched the forum and found a few peoples 0-60 times, but I can't seem to find any kind of documented, "official" 0-60 time. I would have thought NissanUSA would have it, but it doesn't seem to be listed there either (?).

Can anyone point me to an official (or widely accepted) listing of the 0-60 time for the Z? (Performance trim, if that matters).

Thanks in advance!

- Kid

It's about a minute slower than the Vette's 4.x sec. Search the auto mags.

Fastest time I have seen so far is 5.3/13.77 in Motor Trend for a Track 287hp/274 torque.

When you actually know a real number other then 4."x" time on a vette, shut the **** up. How about, "about a minute slower then the Vette's 4.9 sec."


And by the way your post was useless, and about as amusing as a peice of ****.



I usally saw 5.5-5.7 in the magazines, and that is with the shitty stock tires, I wonder if they put some different tires on the stock rims, what the 0-60 would be....

Geez guys. Cut me a little slack. I though the originater should have done his home work before posting. Now I feel like Rodney Dangerfield.

See, no one appreciates my humor. Could it be that it's not funny?

Ive heard 5.4-5.8.
The average good driver should be in that range i think. The best I think I got was a 5.9.
Now with the TT I'm able to get a 4.30. With the vette's gearing and "ability to stay in 1st to hit 60" I think it can probably do a 4.2 by a professional. Most drivers will probably get high 4's.

4.3 with TT is good....i just read the latest Sports Car issue that had 2 turbo Z's, 2 Supercharged Z's and a stock one for comparison. The best 0-60 was 4.9 seconds. The FI setups really only improved 1/4 mile times. 4.3 to 60 is awesme...congrats!!!!

Don't worry about it, there are seems to be a whole lot of A holes in this place.

If there is a lot of A holes, stay away....simple as that. Posts like Johns were totally unecassary, and like he said, not very funny. He is forgiven.

Again, a totally unecassary post by another, GreenVette95....whats the point of being here?


If the Vortech did change the 60 time by a tenth, it was probably because they tested it on stock tires, and as we know, in stock form they have no grip, with an S/C? I bet the MPH in the trap was high though :P :P
