I was going through my old issues of C&D (I have like 13 years worth) and came accross this comparo feb 1992.

-------- ---3rd place----------2nd place------------------1st place
----------vette ($40K)-------RX-7 ($34K)-----------300ZX turbo ($38K)
-----------300hp/330 TQ---------255hp/217 TQ--------300hp/283 TQ

skidpad------.92g----------------------.97g-------------------.88g

30-70----------20.2sec----------------16.7sec---------------16.4sec
(top gear)-------6 speed--------------5 speed----------------5 speed

top speed---157mph-----------------159mph----------------153mph

350Z ($34K)
0-60 5.4 sec, 14.1@101, top gear 30-70 17.7 sec
.88g, top speed 156mph.

sorry it is a little hard to read.

Anyway the Z is cheaper now than those cars 10 years ago and has 1/4 mile trap speed of 101 mph and top speed (156) is right there, not bad IMO.


BTW I want 5 seconds flat so bad
