How fast stock 370Z really is and how will BERK and K&N's affect on that!

Darko · 03-24-2012, 08:41 PM

Since I'm measuring almost anything on the wheels and since I got brand new BERK catback with non-resonated test pipes and K&N intake in my hands, I decided to check how fast stock 2009, 370Z with 7 speed auto transmission really is on the straight line (before and after). Factory declares 5.3 sec. from 0-100 kmh. which I cannot agree since I'm faaar away from this number

.
Car has about 45600 km. Sad thing is that I'm still on the factory Dunlop's Sport Maxx which are almost gone, but there is a still decent grip. New tires are also purchased.
So let's check it with the stock first...

I've seen 4.7-4.9 done. Idk 5.3 seems a little high. It's dependent on launch.

That title "How fast stock 370Z really is and how will BERK and K&N's affect on that!" sounds like a research project.

I guess so. I would like to see the difference. Maybe a couple tenths lower with the mods. Should pull a little harder.

That was on 'light fuel load' too cos the warning light.

The 370 is an awesome car and is indeed the fastest Z ever made... it's a shame there wasn't a turbo option like the older 300z's though. Adding a turbo to the car is cool, but it's expensive and some people do have the money to buy the car already with a turbo. It being an NA car only allows the car to be so fast without major money spent.

Wow, 4.7-4.9 sec. for stock, sorry but I really doubt in that. I've tried more that 10 times to accelerate from the dig, with traction ON, traction OFF, holding RPM while pushing brake on start, auto shifting, manual shifting, different tarmac, just everything, it just won't go under 5.7 sec. Put a Racelogic in that car and let us see.

I'm trying to stay as low, as possible on weight here.

no turbo = less expensive to insure

Don't know about that my last car was turbo charged and direct injected and a convert made much more hp and torque than our cars stock. Rated at 270/270 and put down 245/255 to the wheels 15 psi. Tuned put down 290/355 at 24 psi to the wheels. Insurance was a ton less.

I think it is the claim this car makes 332/270 HP/Tq. I caculated a 21% drive line loss. My other car same weight rwd 11% drive line loss. No carbon fiber drive shaft, no super light wheels or rotors and using an Suv tranny and a ecotec 4banger motor for goodness sake!

I think this car actually makes 280/260 at the crank and Nissan is full of elcrapo!

Probably be one of those Honda things where they are BSing about factory numbers to sell cars. Which in turn gives us higher premiums. I'd rather have a car that actually sticks close to the numbers on the dyno. Instead of lying and causing us higher premiums!

Sad when I buy a new car now I'll have to get it dynoed before I purchase!

Only way a z is going sub-5 is on a tack track/with rollout.

Believe me buddy, this videos are just for fun only, I'm speaking about real numbers here. Just for comparation, I'm near 220 kmh. on the tacho when Racelogic beeps for 200 kmh.
Don't get me wrong, I don't want to downgrade the Z here, since I got that car and I really love it, I just want to speak about reality.

Sub 5 second 0-60 stock(maybe 4.9?) would take a perfect launch, perfect shifting, and perfect conditions . .

Motortrend had 4.7
Edmunds I think 5.1
RT had 4.9
Nissan in the Euro market had 5.3 I believe

this is all off google and top of my head. .there was a thread on it a while ago
