*****
Moving the shifter to the left from D to manual mode puts the car in a sporting mind-set, with the paddles calling forth sharp, lightning-quick shifts that helped this car set the quickest acceleration times we’ve yet recorded from the new Z: 0 to 60 in 4.6 seconds and the quarter-mile in 13.1 at 108 mph, quicker by 0.2 and 0.3 second and 1 mph than our quickest manual car.

I saw one test where they dyno'ed back to back and had about a 5 hp difference but can't find it now.

 

No, I really don't think so.

I DD an '07 Nissan Sentra with a CVT, and that thing is REALLY not designed for any type of performance, but rather gas mileage. It's shift performance is very week, I would not ever consider buying a Z with a CVT.

 

That is incorrect. I GREAT driver will make even a "good" driver look bad when racing equal cars from even a roll.

The only thing it rules out is your lack of launching skills you still have to shift.

My fawking DE back in the day ran 13.1 @ 107mph (262whp) with bolt-ons, now auto 370's are doing it! Good showing....

 

The 370's 7AT is probably one of the best versions of a traditional automatic I've seen. Full shift achieved in under 500 milliseconds, and I believe it's the same basic unit as in the FX45 (390 hp) so it can handle some power.

sick, mash the gas and 13.1, nice.

 

Seriously. There is no point to racing 'from a roll'.

 

LOLski....

 

About time we get some decent times out of the 370.

 

epic.

 

Damn. I'm pretty impressed.

 

So if its a STOCK 370Z, why would you say that he has "no lsd". The Sports Package (that you say he has) comes with the a VLSD. I have one and that's how mine came.

 

Well that's BS. Roll racing is a more accurate measure of a car's power and speed, as opposed to drag racing, which is more dependent on traction and the driver's ability to modulate throttle.

P.S. Amazing numbers. Nissan/JATCO ATs are absolutely fantastic.

 

^ The OP stated that it didn't have the sport package; therefore no VLSD.

Not bad at all for bone stock auto trans without sport package.

 

 

yup they just did it again, and this time, broke into the 12!!

12.80 @ 110mph, 7AT + G3, CBE, Berk cats and 4.08 gears!!

tempting to trade in..

 

broke into the 12's and pretty far into the 12's.

 

The car is probably a tiny bit faster w/o the sports pack. It just depends on how well it hooks up on launch. The sports package adds a small amount of weight and really helps in tracking, not at the strip.

 

12.8 is not pretty far into the 12s.

 

Imo, .200s is a very solid step into 12s. It means that he should be able to consistently run 12s, as opposed to just dip into them with something like a 12.98, and then on the next run a 13.01, rinse and repeat.
