ok i cant get the specs for the 06 track any where... im talking 1/4 mile times skid pad thats about it. they have much larger tires now 240/40/18 front...and 265/35/19 rear. i was wondering how this affected the preformance? maybe i just suck at searching?

 

Magazines test various 350Z models, but I dont recall any recent Track results. For quarter mile ET, you might see a 0.50 second difference between various models. Of course 0.50 seconds is not nearly as important as your driving skills (or lack of).

 

I dont think any mags have tested a 06 track model. Compared to earlier tests though, i would think it may be a bit slower, considering heavier wheels/tires and about 150lbs more weight over previous track models.

 

Man regardless of 20mm wider rear tires they run the same as the non revup down the 1/4. And handling would prolly be a wash compared to 03' Z's, new Z's have softer suspensions but wider tires...its all the same. High 13's with a good driver and around .88-.90 on the skidpad. Dont live by the numbers man go drive one.

 

It's 245/40R18 front to be exact.

 

the newest model your going to find that magazines tested is the 05 anniv. edition (revup motor), give it some time

 

the numbers wornt realy for me, more for a freind. i have driven one and thought it to be very simulair to previous models. he keeps telling me that an 03 evo can do a .... 13.1 1/4 and a 4.4 0-60... i told him that i have driven two evo's both 03's and did not find them to be that fast...they were fast but not a 13.1. i keep trying tell him that that only way in hell an evo could ever do that stock is if they got a top driver and gave him 20 cars to distroy. then he might be able to make one 13.1 in prime conditions.

but realy i dont think anything i say will convince him that they are not close to a 12 second car stock, even thought i have even raced a few, and won.

i guess i was just hopeing that there was some crazy number i could throw back at this magazine racer cause it was motor trend that put out this number and he takes is as gospel.

hes gone evo nuts now i just tell him "buy the dam car and ill race ya"
