I have trouble figuring out why the Z is so much slower than the other two, particularly the Carrera S. Aside from the benefit of a rear weight bias for the Carrera giving a quicker 0-60 (better rear traction), the 1/4mi times baffle me. Is the 70lbs and 20hp/25tq that significant? All theories welcome...!

Carrera S
355hp
295tq
wt 3295lbs
0-60 4.1s
0-100 10.3s
60-0 111ft
1/4 12.6@111.9

Cayman S
320hp
273tq
wt 3100lbs
0-60 4.6s
0-100 10.6s
60-0 117ft
1/4 12.9@108.8

370Z
332hp
270tq
wt 3360lbs
0-60 5.2s
0-100 12.8s
60-0 115ft
1/4 13.7@103.9

With only 1300 miles on my Z i did 13.8 @ 103mph with 2.56 6ft time and hitting the rev lmiter on 2nd gear with 1500 DA that day/time. This concludes that the numbers for Z are bogus. Just lower the 60ft time to 1.90-2.09 and you got 108mph trap speed and high 13.00 and even high 12 run....

The reality is the cayman and the Z have similar numbers all across the board.....

Not sure if this thread needs more discussion. :rolleyes:

I think anyone with a vaguely nice car quickly learns that the guy to girl attraction ratio is 100:1.

true story. The more you mod, the worse that ratio gets, too.

You are so right. The heavily modified Z drives away any classy babes, while the unmodified Porsche will pull them in like a magnet.

These women know the modified Z is owned by a kid who doesn't know when to stop. Plus, doing all the expensive mods has left him with very little cash to blow on her.

And of course, she knows if he had any real dough he'd be driving a Porsche.

I think this quarter mile stuff is a crock of ****! Their GT cars, or Sports cars, not dragsters! Put them on a road course where they belong, and were made for! Then we will see who wins!

1. They're not Their.
2. The acceleration numbers were brought up by someone else. For the sake of this discussion I brought up my personal experience.
3. I think prius is a pile of sh!t and all its drivers are douchebags yet you always see them on the road and continue seeing them. 1/4 mile is **** of sh!t but people will take any car including Z and the prius to 1/4 mile and see what they do...

:ugh2:

Their-possessive pronoun, used before a noun(cars)!

This quarter mile stuff- the car manufacture use, they know that it will influence people to buy their car. A car that is one second, or two seconds faster,BFD!
