This looks like math-nerd bench racing.  No need to drive the cars, the numbers tell us what will happen.

Based on what I saw I assumed it would be taken as a compliment.  Oh well.

The funny part is I'm not really interested in the Proto-Z or the 0-60 times, or the physics, or the math.  I was just making an indirect comment about the hijacking.  Thread-jacking is rude.

0-60 time of 6.57s

There is no way the new Z is that slow.  The 370Z does 0 - 60 in about 5.0 seconds with much less power.  The new Z should be closer to 4.5 - 4.7

Ya, I wondered about that. I had originally specified the wheel velocity incorrectly (I think I low balled the RPMs to 5500). When I calculated better top wheel velocity using the redline of 6600 RPMs, the velocities changed but I failed to update the time spent in each gear. I have recomputed and here is what I got:

62% in 1st and 38% in 2nd…

Average acceleration of 4.6868

Resulting in a 0-60 time of 4.01s

This seems better.

Thanks for bringing to my attention. Cheerz!

Is your yellow Z the one with a Les Collins engine?

Somewhere between rectangular boring and this is what the front should aspire to:

It's missing the power bump in the hood.
