I have been doing a lot of searching, trying to find actual 1/4 mile times from real drivers.

I have looked on a few sites, but my350z.com turned up the most information. The fastest time I've seen there is a 14.3 @ 98 (with 2.1 60') or something. I saw a 14.1 @ 98 on another forum as well. I have seen times go as high as 14.9 @ 94. (with VDC turned OFF)

One thing I find kinda funny... I saw several threads on my350z.com with people asking if anyone has taken their Z to the track or what kind of 1/4 mile times the Z's are getting at the track.

Just about every thread had a link to some guy's post about how he ran a 13.7 @ 105 on his G-tech. And they go on and on speculating about running 13's at the track, and talking about how this guy ran 13.7's and 13.8's on his Gtech.

Though I know Gtech's can be very accurate, it's ONLY IF they are calibrated properly. (ask Ultimate Lurker for info on this) If this guy has is running on a surface that's not completely flat, etc, etc.... the times will be off. Which is my belief that his times are. (especially cuz he said it's on some road with dirt and he doesn't get good traction)

So has anyone SEEN a 350Z run at the track? Or has anyone run their 350Z at the track that posts here?? They also talk alot about getting their 60' to 1.9 or less... Is that even possible with a stock Z and stock tires??

Didn't the rags manage to get 102mph traps? It should only be a matter time before people start running those (or better).

The 350Z is very new I'm one of the first owners of one in Dallas TX.....I am also the former owner of my350z.com (currently a moderator there)

The times from the Mags are 0-60 5.4 and 13.9 quarter mile 102 trap speed

Yes some mags had alittle higher numbers. But it is a true statement that the car needs to be broken in before good times are posted. I got 3000 miles on mine...Sport Compact MAg got the RWHP at 244hp with a car that had 12k miles on it....but other forum members on my site got around 230RWHP... with cars around 2-3k miles on it.

IMHO from owning a Z and racing several cars that most folks think can beat the Z...The times will be lower than the Mags under certain conditions while remaining stock.

I want to take mine to the track....But realize Im gonna do it when I got enough milage, cool outside temp, and the engine cooled also. Reaction time is also the cause for high times with some of these drivers.

MY guess is 5.29 0-60 and 13.69 102+

email me if you want to meet up with me sometime in Dallas TX jason@internetabyss.com
