And we got a sunroof, leather,tonnes more luxury, better tires, back seats, more warranty, loaner at service,.....

dont get me wrong I'm not bashing the Z ... I love it!!
and it was a super hard decision to pick because speed was a real issue, which I know is a drivers race etc.

But this helps seal the deal for me even after delivery as I see them driving around and will maybe help some others on the fence.

How reliable is that Cartest 2000 software that they used to simulate these results? I have trouble believing it's that close with the 210 pound difference. Not that it matters. The G could be .5 seconds slower in the quarter and I'd still prefer it.

This time was also posted I believe in a Car and Driver or Road and Track comparo.

Generally the time may be off .... may be high even ...but look at it as a guidline.

The FAQ's on the page noted this,

Why are the performance times wrong?
Lots of research and care have gone into making the performance numbers as accurate as possible. There are several reasons why the performance numbers may be incorrect:

1) The manufacturer has intentionally or unintentionally published incorrect specifications. The victims of this are usually horsepower and torque, but sometimes it can be gear ratios, axle ratio, electronic speed limiter, etc.

2) The engine's power curve is flatter or steeper than normal. BMW engines and the VW/Audi 1.8T are notorious for having very flat power curves. This results in better performance numbers than typical engines with the same hp and torque ratings. And Kia engines typically have steeper power curves resulting in worse performance numbers.

3) The simulator shifts too early or too late on a specific change. This can results in only one or two of the straight-line acceleration numbers not matching other testers' results. The simulator optimizes gear shifts to achieve the best acceleration numbers over a large distance. This may cause the car to shift gears just short of an important acceleration time mark. For instance, 2nd gear in a car may redline at 62 mph, but the power drop-off at high RPM may result in an optimal shift at 58 mph. The extra 0.3-0.8. seconds required to shift to 3rd gear will increase the 0-60 time by approximately that margin. In some instances, a note had been added to the bottom of the car's performance indicating this with the performance number(s) that would have been achieved if the gear change was made at or above redline.

Hope that helps.

 

Im done my 1600k break in.... or actually ... I'm not gonna wait, I CANT..

I GOIN to test the times myself on camera right now
