Don't forget the 5.0 and BRZ!!! We can get EVERYTHING in this thread!!!! :happydance:




On the topic at hand, from my experience the Z is pretty dead under 2500 rpms. If you want the car to respond quickly off the line, you NEED those revs which are just not going to be there without a more agressive launch.

Theoretically if you redline the car in first what speed should you get upto?

I was watching top gear where they did a review on the new corvette, and they could only get the 3.8 second 0-100 time in first gear.

1st gear in the Z maxes out right around 40 mph IIRC.

1st (in a manual) revs up quick. Hence, a less than 5 sec 0-60. Can a Malibu do 0-60 in less than 5 secs?:stirthepot:

It does 0-6 in less than 5 seconds, which real performance car enthusiasts (Prius owners) know is the only performance metric that matters.

:roflpuke2:

20-45 in a Z is 2.7 sec, 2.2 in a C6 400HP, 3.7 in a Prius, 3.6 in a RX-8, 4.0 in a Subaru Legacy automatic NA 2008
