All of the information you guys are asking about is readily available via google.

370z does 1/4 mile in 13.3.

If by Miata fast, you mean it will kick your ass on a tight road course, then yes it is.

i raced a brand new Carrera 4S (they are 385hps) the other day on the highway...starting from about 70 mph. guy was next to me and took off first and i wasnt even expecting a race, so then i was like 'ok i'll play' and i gunned it.....took me like 5 seconds to catch up and pass him at about 110 then kept going.....i think i got like 10 car lengths in front of him before he gave up.


a boxter S is only 310 hps....just with DPs and DCI and no tune you should be able to beat him....OR with small tune but no DCI or DPs
i have JB3 on Map 7, DCI, catless DPs, Forge DVs, and was on mupm gas 91. Didn't even have my AMS FMIC then (i do now)

If you can drive well,you will beat a Boxster with no mods on your 335.A 370Z would be a drivers race both being stock.

Boxster S and Cayman S are quick. 2010 versions are a touch faster than stock 335i.

to beat a Boxster Spyder you would need a tune and some bolt-ons.
12-8 qtr mile
http://www.insideline.com/porsche/bo...and-video.html

to beat a Boxster S you would need at least a tune and some bolt-ons
13 qtr mile
http://www.scribd.com/doc/30886847/M...omparison-Test (page 10 for specs)

from what i was reading it looks like you would need real experience to get those qtr mile times from either porsche.

good luck hope this helps

Not with PDK, I still prefer the third pedal, and for anything other than marketing I don't understand drag-racing cars that were designed to go around corners very, very well.

Agreed but it serves as a great benchmark to compare cars based on straight line speed

What about outrunning a box cart pulled by a donkey?
