Explain these numbers: Carrera S vs 370Z

Zsteve

Dont know what you are anal izing but you said the Z numbers were wrong and I said then the porsche numbers were to and if you correct the z numbers then correct the others numbers too and you get the same result, the Z getting beat. I tell you what just go race one and then post it on you tube for us to see.

Here is some basic drag racing education....

13.8 @ 103mph that i got with my Z was done by having a 2.5x 60ft time. Generally every 0.1 of a 60ft time will yield 0.2 off of your ET...
A decent launch with a RWD street car is 2.1 60ft time that means I sucked launching the Z yet still got 13.8.

So by following this fact proves that the magazine number that the OP posted for the Z is either bogus or sucked at launching the car. But the problem is that magazines can do infinite launches to get the best time unlike myself. I was limited to 2 runs.

AND AGAIN, that probably applied to all 3 vehicles.

And AGAIN that can NOT be applied to all 3 vehicles because the other vehicles are known for those 1/4 mile times by other magazines and board but the Z isn't!

370s trap 105-107 in good DA and put down low 13 1/4mile numbers

Ive seen other car mags and what not post a 5.1 0 60 time for the 370Z and some that have noted 4.6, so there is a big swing for the Z. It might be when and where they did the test for all I know but the Z is not a 4.6 all the time car. And Ive seen the porsche numbers lower too out there.

And i agree. Track location/day/weather can swing the ET by almost a full second... But getting the slowest posted time from one magazine and comparing to one of the faster times from the other car is not the way you would compare two cars.

zeroto60 shows a 3.6 for the 09 carrera s so they havent used the lowest but I think the porsche have a more stable zone as they launch beetter than the Z does on the avg.
