accident 268

 

Any stats such as weight, HP and TQ on the 370z are all speculative yet.

 

Ok its a rough guess, and I bet it is damn near accurate, even if you get optomistic its not going to be close to a c6.. sorry.

 

LOL Dont get me wrong.. Just pointing out the 370 stats aren't confirmed yet that's all..

Dont care about any C6 vs whatever.

 

doesn't the HR already have the same performance as an cayman s?

 

Fixed.

Almost every autoblog has been saying the new Z will weigh in around 3,000 lbs. I know it's speculating, but it's evident in the design of the 370Z. The car is shorter overall.

 

So the g37 is around 3600 lbs. Will 600 lbs differ substantially in performance with the same engine?

 

Kiddah.....

+1

 

Taking off 600lbs is like adding 60hp.

 

I like the sound of that. I cant wait to see this.

 

Pff... the 370Z will cure cancer.

 

And where are you geting 370Z at 3400 pounds from??

**EDIT** SORRY, for some reason I did not see all the other responses to the weight comment. My bad.

 

I think the cayman s does the 1/4 in about 13.3ish secs? I think we can expect the 370z to be about 13.3ish secs too. But 13.3 may be too optimistic.

The new g37 sedan did 13.8 versus 13.7 for the g35 sedan. Car and driver says the new g37 sedan weighs 120 lbs more and the engine was green. Once the engine is broken in 13.6 may be possible or not.

I was kind of hoping the 370z would be to the competition what the gtr is to the competition but the z shares the same engine, platform, and transmission with the g37 but may weigh 500ish less. So if the g37 does about 13.8 i don't think dropping the weight of the car by 500ish is going to make the car a low 13 sec car.

Performance isn't everything to me so I'm still planning to get the z in early 2010.

 

I think the new Z will be high 12s. And, I think it will be to the competition what the GT-R is to its rivals.

To supercede your statement aznguy370z: Straight line performance isn't everything. I would expect the Z to out perform the current Cayman/Audi TT/BMW 135i and other rivals on a road course however.

 

I'd say the new Silvia wouldn't keep up with a cayman, the way i see it is:

GTR & GT2/TT as you said
370z & GT3/Caymans
Silvia & Boxters

The only consumer Nissan won't win are the Badge-conscious.

I'd expect a new Silvia to have figures similar to the RX8 to be honest.

 

The new Z will probably run low 13's. 13.2 probably

 

The new z will be a high 12 sec car im sure. The hr motor has run a best time of 13.1. So, why wouldn't the car be faster with more hp and less weight, commom sense people!!

 

Was #2 a joke?

So the 370Z will battle against a $108,000/$80,000 dollar Porsche?

I'll be waiting for the response here...back on planet earth

.

 

well gtr>911TT therefore nissans>porsches

e-logic

 

I highly doubt it 350hp c5's were barely in the 12's stock


and beating a caymanS on a road course is no easy task..the Z will have the definite power advantage, but Porsche suspension tuning, and brakes have been legendary for decades....

I dont see it .....
