Why would a 2015 Z 1/4 time drop down to 12.7 from 13.3 with all the previous years? The Z hasn't had any performance upgrades done to it.

Yes it has! More aggressive gear ratios and suspension upgrade. It's 13.1 for the 14 and below auto. You can make a car much faster just with these upgrades.

Ok, I can see 13.1 with the new 3.9 ratio, but I'm not buying 12.7 stock, no way.. not consistently anyways.

No printed times are usually consistent. The manual Z consistently is closer to 13.5

The auto is more consistent at quarters than manual. And I'm pretty sure the Nismo auto can hit 12.7 more than not. when I first read about the upgrades I was guessing on my own it would be about 12.8 seconds. so its only .1 seconds better than I thought for the auto.

if you look at the power to weight ratio of the Z. it makes sense that it would be sub 13 second car if tuned decently.

Well, the claim 12.7 time came from a guy who guesstimates his quarter mile time based off his 1/8th slip. So that is why I was in doubt. I agree, the 370z has always been a low 13 second car(stock). Just not sure what the difference is with the new 3.9 ratio.

Fixed. I'm guessing that guy has a coat hanger scar on his forehead.

It should be pretty dramatic. Some years ago we had a member with an N/A tune where he made 3:9 ratios on his own along with intake, exhaust & a couple more mods. He was pushing 12.4. sec quarters on drag radials.
it was the fastest NA Z on record.

They changed the gear rations in manual or auto? And is this just for 15s?
