You are not very smart. A gtr does it in 2.8. And why is the nismos time faster stock for stock if auto is better? It may shift slightly quicker.. but you can't launch auto like a manual.

How much mileage was on the car? Most new cars don't make good power until they've done some miles. And also since it was just a test drive you probably haven't perfected the technique.

The simple response would have been - "Sorry, that's as good as it gets with a Z. Maybe you should look into a V6 Camaro? They are iPhone friendly!"

That car only travelled 9miles. However, I thought those cars were run-in before they sell it. It was my technique I reckon.

Maybe you should check out the V6 Camry.

OP, you will get faster times with VDC off, tires warmed up, and practice.
