Here are the numbers of several roadsters compared with Z roadster from automobile magazine. I've also included their test number of a 350Z track trim from April issue.

I think the Z roadster did really well, there wasn't that much performance drop compared with the Z roadster. And the Z roadster whooped all other roadsters' ***, especially considering it outweighed all the competitors by 500 lbs.

 

did the z win?

 

No, Z4 was 4th, Z was 3rd, s2000 was 2nd, boxster was 1st.

 

thats fair, slowest car should win... wait a minute....

and no I think the convertable did pretty damn bad, a 14.5? thats pathetic. you gotta worry about an RSX with a ECU mod.

I want to see some testing done by another mag, and some real world numbers, but gotta wait for that. mainly want another mag so the other stats that they apparently didnt test the track version for can be compared. some incredable cornering numbers there, but I find it hard to believe the convertable would outhandle the coupe. same goes for the quarter and 0-60 being slower by alot but faster from a roll?

 

thats what we get with different testing conditions. I saw a mag test that showed that the Z KILLED a Z4 in 0-100 by 1.4 seconds (R&T) then in another test in the other thread it shows that the Z4 is quicker to 100.

 

Maybe it's 9.5" rear wheels helped?

 

The S2000 took the 2nd is reasonable, but Boxter took the 1st?!?!?!
It's expensive and slow...
