Some manufacturers have been known to do this.


Though at 3368 pounds and 332 bhp the numbers aren't impossible and I believe early dynos show the car puts down about 280-290 whp on a dynojet.


I'm actually planning to test drive a 370z shortly (standard shift of course).
With these numbers I highly doubt a stock 370z would be trapping 108mph.

I dont doubt the #'s since i ran a 13.5@106 in my g/f's 07 350z (auto) that she had.

I didnt think that her car would have been that quick but sure enough it was and also very consistant.

Its a nice car and stock for stock it would be a close race, but they are pretty much stuck at that horsepower until a turbo kit comes out. that will be 5 grand plus installation.

I'm going to guess with the gentlemen agreement that the z is putting out more than that is advertised, if they are pulling those traps.

i did 12.82 @ 107.41 in mine if the track hadn't been cold, and i had a way around the water box, i could have gone lower.... check my other thread, and it turns out i had another unknown gremlin on my 12.8 run...
