Z track record 0-60
 

I did a search to see if this may be a repost and didn't find anything. I found this chart that shows the Z and SX history of 60 and quarter mile track times according to 0-60 magazine. I found it interesting that they. Get 4.4sec for the NISMO. Wouldn't that put it on par with M3 acceleration??? Anyway. Here's the chart and enjoy.

Nissan 0-60 Times & Nissan Quarter Mile Times | Nissan Skyline GTR 0-60, Maxima 0-60, Altima SE-R, Murano, 350z, 2012 370z and 2011 Titan 0 to 60 stats!

0-60 is heavily dependent on traction, test conditions, etc. It's difficult to get a real comparison with other cars. The M3 traps 110+ mph in the quarter mile while the Z is in the 103-108 range stock depending on the day. So while they might be close off the line, the M3 will pull away.

No link to source? :shakes head:

****Summary of Z Data****

Straight line Peformance

Derived from data on Z's listed as bone stock from the 1/4 thread: M (SD) N

MT: 13.67 sec (.07), 103.63 MPH (.40), 11

AT: 13.52 sec (.08), 104.62 MPH (.92), 9

Values do not include clear outliers or folks with bolt-on's, different gear sets, etc.

Last I looked, not enough data for the Nismo edition, but keep in mind that while it has extra power it also weighs more than the non-Nismo Z's, so probably not very different on the average.
*************************************************

Dynojet derived whp and drivetrain loss

Average power for 370Z or G37: 273 +/-5

Average power for Nismo version: 290 +/-5

Drive train losses for both AT and MT appear to be between 16.5% and 17.5%

EDIT: Note -- data for non-nismo cars are based on 4th gear pulls. Peak values, especially for torque, tend to be about 4% higher in 5th gear.

Both are legitimate for testing; although 5th gear is 1:1 gearing, runs in that gear also put a bit more stress on the motor relative to 4th.

Be sure to compare and contrast dyno runs in same gear.

*************************************************

Individual results may vary.

LOL, they also have a spot for the Z concept.

The MT has more drivetrain loss than the AT?

My Z runs fine but I have never timed my own 0-60. What sort of real world times are you fellows laying down?

i think it has to do with gearing and the physical shift time between 1-2.


no idea wat my 0-60mph time is. probably high 5sec's on a good day. i dont think i can get the traction needed to propel the car under 5.5sec.

What's this? My Z is faster than the 2011 Mustang GT?

2011 Ford Mustang GT 5.0 0-60 mph 4.5 Quarter Mile 13.0
2009 Nissan 370Z (Automatic) 0-60 mph 4.5 Quarter Mile 12.9

This settles all debates between these two cars now and forever...:rolleyes:

I've always wondered what my actual 0-60 time is on the street, just need a good way to time it. Looks like they got my 1/4 mile time for the 7AT in there though :icon17:

:rofl2:

Interesting. I like this website,Top 10 Fastest Cars| Top Ten Slowest Cars in the World | Which Country makes the best Fast Cars? it shows the fastest and slowest 0-60 times, looks like a Fiat gets the prize for the slowest at 25.4 secs for 0-60 :icon17:

Nope, they are equal.

The range of 16-17% is probably just noise. I would say both are right around 16.5%, at least going by claimed bhp vs dynojet derived whp.

How can the drivetrain loss be the same across the two transmissions when the automatic still has a traditional torque converter to content with?

I'm glad that's finally settled. Those Mustang drivers on the forum were getting annoying.

Because it doesn't. It only fluid couples in 1st gear. 2-7 are solid connections with locking piston.

Its something called technology. Lol. These traditional parts are being designed to work harder and perform in the extreme. Things are changing bruh.

Either that or the 6MT is just inefficient :icon17:

(Before anyone jumps down my throat it was an obvious joke, hence the :icon17:)

^ z hater

So what you're saying is 7AT > 6MT :stirthepot:

:eek:

I keep this in my office to pretend I am not a Z hater. :eek:

So when the cameras come off, the mustang and the Porsche gang up on the Z and throw it off the desk. You sir are a Z hater :shakes head:

Damn, you got me!

:icon18::icon18::icon18: if anything the Imports should be ganging up on the 5.0

Most powerful duo on top ;)

Is this gang rape or a three some??

It was b1ade's idea!

Trollol

:icon18:

Traditional autos have terrible drive train losses because they don't make solid connections between the engine and trans (i.e., fluid coupling); the 7AT on the Z has full lock-up (i.e., a solid connection between the motor and trans) from 2-7, so drive train losses are equivalent to the MT.

:werd:

I knew it!!!! Rep incoming later :p

:rofl2::roflpuke2: :bowrofl:

0 to 60 ?
1/8 mile = 8.0 @ 89.7
so what does that put 0 to 60 at ?
If you use the fomula from the 1/8 mile times its really quick.
3.58 second. ( with an error factor of a few 10th's)
the 4.08 gears make a big difference.
60 ft times 1.832

BS!!!!!!! :icon23:

Fix'd :tiphat:

To the forum's surprise, it turns out that it is the elder Steve that is the troll. :roflpuke2::roflpuke2::roflpuke2::roflpuke2:

The nerve of you, getting the thread back on topic. :shakes head:

Ok, cool. I didn't know it had full lock up after first gear. Pretty cool!

Thanks for the kind comment bruh. At least the 6MT can take forced induction without even breaking a sweat.

That's really interesting. I never looked that hard into the 7at operation....that explains part of the reason it runs like it does I guess

Yep, it's a true thing of beauty ... :bowrofl: I'm still shocked months later. My 6spd cars seem so slow just cruising around now. That is because you don't slam gears in traffic. You ease into them. With the S7 you just let it do it's thing, push the shifter, or pull a paddle and your gone without any stress or effort. :eekdance:
