Why still no official Nurburgring time for 370Z?

ped · 12-03-2015, 12:20 PM

Or is there? Only time I can find is for a 350Z.

m4a1mustang · 12-03-2015, 12:27 PM

Because no one actually cares about a Nurburgring time.

Why not? It makes a pretty good comparison to other cars, since pretty much all performance cars get tested there.

Eh, I'd argue it doesn't. To compare, you have to assume:

1) Like conditions
2) The drivers were 100% perfect through 14.x miles and 1xx corners

Not happening.

Doesn't mean a thing! It's a hype number and that's it.

And you must assume that manufacturers play nice that what they set time trials with is truly what is sold on the car to the public which it not many times.

I'd rather compare lap times for me vs. the forum on local tracks.

This is like comparing top speeds of cars... not a useful data point for how the drive went.

Took so long the timers battery died.

TerribleONE · 12-03-2015, 01:19 PM

So the official answer is, no stock 370z will make it around the ring. Next best thing is a time with it riding around on a flatbed?
