Absolutely........I am not a fanboy of any one car...just the ones I drive. I have seen bone stock c6 z06's run in the 14's. I have also seen an 11.3 @ 129 in Baton Rouge, LA, on runflats. Most f bodies are in the low to mid 13's depending on driver. I have never witnessed a stock one in the 12.anything range. I'm not trying to **** anyone off, just don't believe it. The suspect in this equation is the 2.0 60'. The trap is probably high due to spinning, that I see. Its the 2.0 60' running the quickest 1/4 mile on record. If he was cutting 1.80 60', maybe

If the Z is in front of the name it is fast. Behind the name, it is slow. Must be an engineering flaw.
Z28, Z06, ZR1.........350z, 300z, 280z
You see the pattern.....................

Drivers being equal, I don't believe any f-body has to worry about a stock 350Z; however, they have the potential to be driven fairly quick if the driver knows what he/she is doing.

Btw, I have no dog in this debate, as I don't own a 350Z... I just like correcting ignorance when it occurs...

i respect fast cars regardless of make or model. the nissan 350z is not a fast car. i also raise the flag on them ever running low 13's stock...i've raced a **** load of them over the years, stock and otherwise, street and at the track, and none of them were anywhere near being a low 13 second car. i even raced a Twin Turbo one a couple years ago in my stalled auto and i still edged out a victory (that one was probably a high 12-second car. lord knows how much he spent on the car).

How long did it take you to find a 350Z running slower than a 14.3...

I find it extremely hard to believe that a 3500lb, without driver, 306 hp, 268 ft/lb car will trap 107 and run 13.1 with a 2.02 60 ft. The mustang from 05 and up wont run that, and it weighs about the same with 52 more ft/lb of torque. 10 on down is believable, the rest are BS........No disrespect to you, just to the fantasy list

The 370Z isn't really any faster in a straight line than an HR 350Z.
You can believe what you like... but those time were verified and backed up. Some I'm sure even have videos. Since you've never personally seen a C6 Z06 run quicker than 11.3, do you think that Ranger Armstrong and Jamie Furman (the two quickest stock Z06 drivers) are lying? Nobody said that low 13s was normal for a 350Z. I gave a range of what it possibly COULD run in good/great conditions with a good/great driver. How the hell that starts an argument is beyond me.

And I will believe the 350 low 13 story if it was -500 DA, in November, in Nevada below sea level. So those conditions would make the difference in an ls1 car and the Z apparent. It would most likely make the LS1 car a mid 12 stock, LMFAO!!!

maybe they were running below sea level, downhill, wind at their back, 0% humidity, 40 degree weather, and they were racing an LS1-powered vehicle that literally blew their doors off reducing the weight of the nissan, and the draft/wind from the LS1 pulled the 350z along the track to move it faster. even with all that i'd still say a 13.5 at best though...

The Nismo 370 has 40 more hp and revs higher, so..... Why would it not be at least 3-5 tenths quicker?

Edit: Did a quick search... here's a stock HR 350Z running a 13.45. If you read the comments, the owner said the car has gone as quick as 13.15 stock.

I believe this is where the debate lies, since not every F-body owner gets to run their car in the very best weather conditions and scoffs when they see a Z car run a low 13. But if that LS1 gets some good air, watch out 350 fans!

I don't think I ever said that the LS1 wasn't generally the faster car. But an HR 350Z or 370Z should have no problem taking down a stock 2.73-geared A4. Because they HAVE run low-mid 13s, whether you want to admit it or not. I don't care if you live by a shitty track or constantly have 3,000'+ DA... not my problem. But where I live we have sub-1000' DA half the year, so I'm not just going to disregard a time because it was run in good conditions by somebody that knows how to drive their car very well.

That covers all years and all transmissions in decent conditions with a good driver. The original cars were generally low 14s with a few occasionally running high 13s, the "Rev-up" models ran high 13s and sometimes dipped into mid 13s, and the HR models run mid 13s occasionally dipping into low 13s. If this offends you, I suggest you get thicker skin. And my location plainly says "DFW, TX"... if you don't know where that is, I don't know what to tell you.

What exactly is the HR model and when did they start production? I think I have based my insight off of the earlier Z cars then, with no knowledge that they changed anything about them save for the NISMO cars.
