A bunch of guys talking about spanking just doesn't sound right.

What part of spank don't you understand? Do you want a spec sheet between both cars? Or would you like me to draw it out in crayons for you? [X(]

Guys.....I beg to differ...I just had a 35Z for 4 days as a loaner while my O5 GT Vert was in the shop. I must say the Z is WAY FASTER off the line. I would like to race one side by side in the 1/4 mile. But it is DEFINATELY faster of the line than the GT.

I noticed online that the 05 GT is 5.3 0-60 and a 06 350Z is 5.5 0-60.....

So that supports what you guys are saying, but having drove one "Like I Stole It" I kinda beg to differ. Mind you I have never been overly impressed with the power of my GT.

But what do I do take it in and say to the service dept "Dude I think this think is slower than it should be...."


As I said I feel the Z is considerabley quicker - off the line light to light anyway

Cheers!

Maybe you should drive your GT like you stole it.
Car and Driver has the GT at 5.1 and the auto at 5.0 the 350Z 5.8 0-60
A lot of times the feel of a car and seat of the pants can fool you. If you got a golf cart to do 60mph in 6 seconds you would think it's the fastest thing you ever rode in..

I ran one at the track a couple weeks ago. He was running consistant 14.0-14.07. Not sure if he had anything done or not, but I would think most stockers could beat that.....

I love the pic. too. Both wheels aren't spinning. That's why it's called limited slip? I just saw a thread and the guy had a vidieo and he was saying something was broken because both wern't spinning. Not ragin, just wanting to learn something. It is obivous the car is launching with gusto.
Lets see a 350Z do that..

That's the problem, a lot of guys with 05+ manual GTs are running 14s in the 1/4, which is why for some a 350Z might seem faster, expecially if it can run 14.0 consistently. Not for me though!
