If this is old info, sorry, but I just got home and found the Sept. Issue of Road & Track waiting for me, complete with the 350Z Road Test.

0 - 60 5.6 sec (Car and Driver was 5.4)
1/4 Mile 14.3 sex @ 100.2 mph

Thought I would share.

 

haha

Talk about adreline rush.

 

Wishfull thinking?

Okay, bad typo.

 

does the article have any good pics or anything? if it does, introduce it to the scanner.

 

5.6? was that an automatic?

 

I hope it was, but it probably wasn't. I figure the auto will run 0-60 at 5.9. Why do I think this? Nissan says "0-60 in under 6 secs". It didn't specify a transmission, manual or auto, right? What do you guys and gals think?

Boomer--anyway, 5.4-5.6 in pre-production?, not broken in yet, cars sounds good.
BR/FR/AT

 

You could be right. Some reviews that I've read have been impressed with the quickness of the AT shifting. Can't remember the site I read that though on!

 

is the Z on the cover?

 

Dude you are the comic relief in my life lately. he he!

 

lol and that was suppose to be one of my more "serious" questions...

but really... is it on the cover? or am i just totally out of some kind of inside joke? lol

 

Oh no, no, no! I was refering to your Avatar teamed up with your signature.

 

::::sigh of relief:::

ok good, i try to bring as much laughter to the board as i can without crossing over the line, which yes, i know i have done but oh well

 

Road and track got the slowest times im surprised. And those times are so totally awswome

Anyone know what modle was tested or auto or manual ?
And what color just curious

 

COLOR? Is one color faster than another? My God, we've started another rumor! Where will it end?

Boomer--Sorry, just kidding. As you may be able to tell nerves are a little frayed around here at the moment.

i think it was DR BONZ's photoshopped brickyard

 

I ordered Brickyard, too. Its got to be worth at .5 of a sec, right, Dr. Bonz?

Absolutely! Unless you have those black racing rims with the bad alignment job!

 

justwant1, what were the maximum speeds R&T listed for each gear in the data summary?

 

I want to see what to auto will run!!!
After driving a g35 i can say shifts are smooth and all the way to redline, - afew rpm.

Also when the mustang gt came out hot rod magazine said if they had one of their own it would be the 4 speed auto!

I think the auto would be just fine in the g35c, but the 350z is a sports car and deserves a stick.

I beat the auto Z will run 5.7 to 60.


any takers?

 

I think the auto will be.5 slower than the manual. With the manual's best being 5.2 0-60, I think you are spot on. The auto will run to 60 in 5.7 sounds right!
