Am I the only one not surprised it was a close race? The 370Z and LS1 are very evenly matched in stock form.
The 370's weigh 300-400 lbs less than an F-body. The mid 2000's models have right around 300HP. They run 0-60 in high 4's or low 5's. 1/4 mile in low 13's.
The new 370's have 332HP, run 0-60 in 4.5 and the 1/4 mile in high 12's, that's average times. A new 370Z would tear up a stock LS1.
And yeah, as an owner of an A4 I know if you nail it anywhere between 40MPH and 50MPH you're going to be slow as *****, I'm actually surprised you caught up. If you had nailed it at 38MPH, the whole car would lift up, nose and everything.

machs run alrightish
when my car was bone stock i was bumper to bumper with a mach1 with cold air and an x pipe. now i havent seen a mach1 worth taking a second look at FORD OHC motors are a joke and should be thought of as such. the only thing ford did half *** right was the 03-04 cobra which they ruined by putting in IRS those cars would be worthless if a solid axle wasnt a direct swap. pretty bad they gotta have more valves, more cams, better flowing heads, rev higher, and have a blower to barely outrun an ls1

Wow...Man I love running into guys like you at some racespots. People like you fund my parts buying habit. Because you are such a nutswinger and fail to acknowledge the potential of another car in modded form makes you an easy target take take money from. Please keep up the good work..

and in your last post you said a 370z is faster then a Stock LS1? No sir not at all the LS1 still has the advantage stock vs stock. You will never see a bone stock 370z go high 12's with your own eyes. But on the internet....well we all know how that goes

If anyone would look up the stats and specs on the 2012 Nissan 370Z. They are much quicker than a stock LS1. They have comparable horsepower, not the same torque, but they are much lighter. A brand new 370Z is going to be slightly faster than a stock LS1.
Now, a mid 2000's 370Z vs a stock LS1 will be close, LS1 should win.

Now, a mid 2000's 370Z (350z) vs a stock LS1 will be close, LS1 should (will) win.

Same exact times as a bone stock LS1 F-Body

All the Motor Trend videos I have watched on the LS1 from youtube, the quickest one was the 2002 SS, with maybe a 13.5 1/4 mile. Most of them are mid to high 13's.
Honestly, I think in a real race on the street it's a driver's race, both are nearly even and run very close times. I think the 370Z will launch better than the LS1, but the LS1 has more top end power, so it will catch up and make it very close.

Definitely not trying to rag on the LS1, because I own one and love it to death. But if we are going to compare times that professionals recorded from videos, magazines, write up's and etc then the 370Z is quicker.

The average times are usually very even, seems like most of those reviews favor the 370Z in speed just a bit more.

Most of these mags have been over- hyping Jap cars for the longest time. The next page, right after the test of a Nissan, you will find an advertisement for Nissan.
Reason for slower than normal times of some domestics is do to the fact that the test drivers don't know how to handle torque. Imagine test driving a Honda S2000 and then test driving a LS1 Camaro. Torque takes finesse and practice.
