Upcoming Road & Track article compares the Z(hardtop), M3 SMG, Z06, and Porshe 911
0-60 Z06 4.5 M3 4.9 911 5.0 350Z 5.8
1/4 mile Z06 12.8 M3 & 911 13.5 350Z 14.4
Skidpad Z06 .98 911 .92 M3 .89 350Z .88
Slalom 911 65.5 350Z 67.3 Z06 67.6 M3 67.3
Lap time Z06 1:36.50 350Z 1:40.06 M3 1:40.09 911 1:40.79
Braking 80-0 Z06 204' 911 208' 350Z & M3 213'
Performance per $ Z06 10.0 350Z 7.8 M3 7.6 911 6.1
M3 SMG II $55,695
Vette Z06 $51,450
350Z Track $34,688
911 Targa $84,975
Why did they slap the Z in on this high of a car class. The porshe is more than TWICE the price of the Z. The Z did have a better laptime than the M3 and 911(WTF). With more tuning the VQ might be able to keep up.
If the Z can hang with the big boys, image what the GT-R can do.
PS - What is the status on the next NSX? I am ready for a real shocker

Status of next NSX is as good of a guess as anybody's...but it'll still mid-engined...that's a definite.

I've always felt that the E46 M3 was under tired for the chassis/engine.
There are several people running 255 up front and 275 or 285 in the rear.
But good for the 350Z I'm not that surprised it did so well. I has all the right combinations. I'll probably never buy one. I Simply don't like the design.

The Z06 was 3.5 seconds a lap quicker than the 350Z, which is a huge difference.

I just thought that the Z was made to trail or undercut these cars and the GT-R was to blow them out. I think the Z needs a boost in power ummmmmmmm 300hp would be nice. I think the next S2000 should drop the F20 and pick up the NSX's old engine or atleast have them as options.

Typical Nissan mentality thinking larger displacement is always better. :fawk:
