questions on the 370, owners please help!!!

robbie21mma · 09-10-2009, 11:42 PM

my wife and i are going to be buying a sports car in the next couple of months, looking at the 370z and the ss camaro

i know they are different animals

my wife would drive the car every now and then so it would have to be an automatic

im only concerned about stock acceleration, does anyone have the 0-60 and the 1/8th mile time on the 7 speed auto 370z???

im mostly interested in the stock 1/8th mile time with the auto. does anyone know???

thezmonster · 09-10-2009, 11:46 PM

stock acceleration 0-60 about 4.7 seconds and 1/8th mile about 8 to 9 seconds but thats manual for my z

if the amount of time to go from 0-60 and run a 1/8th is all that matters to you, then I don't think the Z is for you. the Z is an all around monster, not a 1/4 mile monster.

It looks like the 1/4mile times for the 7AT are 13.4-13.1 on average that is quick

Tell your wife to stick with your Tundra because a 370z automatic has failure written all over it. I'd say ditch the wife and buy a 370z manual w/ sport package.

+3, if you're for the 1/4 mile, I'd stick with the camaro.

I would ask if you have evidence to support your statement!
I have not heard of any or experienced any problems with the 7A and the rest of your comment doesn't sound very helpful.

+1 triple...I've heard nothing but good things about auto in 370Z.
Robbie: in my oppinion, just get a manual with SP. S mode really makes it easy for first time manual driver. Just involve a lot of practice. I too had the same dilemma before, but decided to get manual S and then taught my wife how to do it. For a beginner, she is doing really good even for the first time. The only problem is to launch it from 0-1st gear. They'll love it and appreciate it so much once they've learned how to drive on manual. Just have a lot of practice (perfect time to spend with your wife)
As it progresses, you can turn the S-off to play with it, and shouldn't be a problem under a non agressive drive.
You'll be surprise how easily your wife can learn how to drive a stick.

Bumble Zee · 09-11-2009, 10:04 AM

I see that you are also in Dallas. Chance is we'll see each other

. If my wife can do it, she can do it too!!! It makes them feel special driving a shift stick. Not a lot of women wants to drive a manual LOL.

I've seen stock 370Z 1/4 mile time slips with the Auto as low as 13.16 sec and 1/8 mile at 8.48. Most fall in the 13.3 to 13.4 range.

Stock camaros are coming in just shy of 13. I've seen a 12.87 and a 12.99 out of the manual and auto respecivly.

a new stock 370z automatic does 8.4's in the 1/8th.... really???

a new stock ss camaro automatic does 8.6's in the 1/8th.....

are these 1/8th times true about the 370z??? if so im buying the z and not the ss

kenchan · 09-11-2009, 09:43 PM

if you consider street conditions, your weight(s), temperature, relative humidity, 0.2 of a second is not going to matter that much. get the car that looks the best to you. most often AT's do well consistently off the line vs MT cause there's less driver error.

just not as fun to drive.
