Why are the older Z34's faster than the newer ones?

MacCool · 06-16-2017, 08:24 AM

Running Dynolicious on my 2011 compared to my 2014 indicates that the 2014 is slightly faster 0-60 mph, which I attribute to the fact that the clutch on my 2014 is a little less finicky than my 2011 was.

I think this thread is based on a false premise.

I didn't see any downgraded performance or changes in transmissions since then so what gives? Is it different tires?

the reason is simple...
