Default Considering the purchase of a Z

I am considering purchasing a new Z, unfortunatly it will have to be an automatic.

What kind of 1/4mile times could i expect from it? With bolt ons what could i expect?


Thanks for any input.

the 1/4 times for the 5at are about a tenth of a second or two off of the 6mt times, and its pretty much the same for 0-60. not really sure about the times for bolt-ons, only the hp figures. hope this was of some help.

Stop worrying about the 1/4-mile. Buy a Cobra if you want to be king of the straight line.

The Z is an all around pure sports car, not a drag queen.

KTM, do you have short mans disease too? honestly bro, what business of yours is it, to automatically refer someone to another car because they ask how fast the Z is.

Any sports car has to be a complete package, handling, ride, 0-60, 1/4 mile, stop power. Let the folks who ask the questions figure out on their own whether they think it's fast enough.

Don't be so touchy.

EDIT: I just saw JohnDeerr's reply, nevermind, troll.

Sorry Fritz, but waaaaay too many people are concerned about 0-60 times and the 1/4-mile. It's like they have seen 2F2F one too many times and think that they are the end-all, be-all of performance.

*shrug*
