Ive gotten 5.3 with my stock Z but that was measured on a gtech and we all know how inaccurate those are. supposedly the z is supposed to do it in 5.4

 

dang... what are your shift points (RPM) and clutch/accel. - release/slam aggressiveness?

 

Arvin! I drive thru there on my way from Vegas to Santa Maria. Que pasa? Hate those freakin bugs, not to mention the cow **** smell. Oh yeah, and the cops there will nail you for doing 62 in a 55.
Most magazines used to list the Z at 5.7. Don't think the '06 is any better.

 

Interesting question but how do you measure the time?

 

I forget which magazine it was(maybe all of them do it), the time starts as soon as the car has travelled 12 inches, and stops when the cars at 60.They also take the avg. time out of a few runs, not the best.

 

Motor Trend time reported is 5.3s.

 

I think motor trend reported the track model as being 5.3 and all other models 5.8 or 9 that was a recent update
back in the day when our cars first came out the were claiming them to be 5.4 and change

 

It's a lot to do with the driver. Go to the track then you will find out.

 

Motor Trend always has low #'s for the cars they test, everyone else is always like 0.5 secs more...

Average for 350z is 5.6 seconds for coupe and 5.9 seconds for roadster

 

You could probably find what the magazine's rate our car at as easy as we could, .

 

GT2 timer-within hundreths of a second accurate with my actual 1/4 pass. Before the ecu NA tune/turbo with a passenger on 245/45 18's 4.9 0-60. Slicks was mid 4's NA...

 

Nissan figures are 5.8 to 60. But don't know their test procedure, all manufactures do it differently

 

Santa Maria? are you from santa maria?

 

what would a 5AT run to 60?

 

Yea, Arvin. The land of bugs, carrots, moo, and pigs. (cops).

But yea... it's an ok place, heh. Haven't gotten stopped yet... :]
