In comparison to HR 350z Dynos

but I need to answer this fellow.

For over 3&1/2 years & maybe 7 times I broke my 1/4 mile time that is listed on my350z.com. The bolt on 07/08 hr section. I've done it with Niss. STOCK intakes & except for test pipes, STOCK Nissan exhaust, muffler & all.

This spring I replaced my 3:90 gears with 4:08's that I purchased from the 370 car & site. It was a complete diff. set up. Seems like they are the same for both cars. A Nissan dealer just took mine out & installed the 370's in.
After my gear change, I went twice to the drag strip this spring hoping to break my last record time of 12.508@110mph. Well in those 2 times at the track, I got in about 13 runs. 10 of them were 12.4's, with my best of 12.419.

So it isn't what I think, feel or dream off. I've drag raced at the two top tracks up here(north east), Atco & Raceway Park, plus 2 other drag strips. 4 tracks in 3&1/2 years. The ONLY N/A 370's I saw do 12's were the two in Florida. There is no one from North East that has a 370 posting here that I'm mistaken. There might be a couple of cars that do & did that, but I don't know them & haven't seen them.

I no longer have my 350z(long story & not important for my points) so looking at the great times of the automatic 370's & me becoming 65 years old in Dec. plus living 3 hours away from the track & NEEDING slicks to drive a 6spd. car, I decided that I no longer want to drive 3 hours each way & change all four tires twice just to enjoy a day of racing. So I figure that since we don't yet know what 2015 brings, & I don't like to buy the first year of a new car, why not buy a 2012 370 automatic & add similar 2 mods that my 350z had. That should put me in the 12.8 range with stock intakes & exhaust minus cats. With M/T street tires I can just drive to track, no tire change, just coffee & go racing. I've done well in bracket racing & with an automatic that will be much easier to do. Makes sense??? When a good Z comes out in the future & I'm still alive, maybe I'll buy one & go for that record
