2023 Nissan Z Quarter Miles times: any guesses?

With a significant step up in power, I think its safe to say acceleration and quarter-mile times should fall for the new Z compared to the outgoing model, but by how much?

I'm excited to see track testing for the new Z, but I guess I'll have to keep being patient and just kill the time with speculation in the meantime. Who wants to join me in making an educated guess?

MotorTrend's last instrumented test (that I can find with a lazy Google search) of the 370Z was a 2017 model and they recorded the quarter-mile in 13.7 seconds at 102.7 mph.

A Car and Driver test of the 2021 Q60 Red Sport did the quarter in 12.8 seconds at 111 mph.

Think the new Z could do 12.5? Maybe better?

Not too concerned about the ET, I tend to look at the trap speed. My guess is no less than 114 mph trap for the 9AT Z. Maybe 108 for the 6MT.

That 2017 370 you mentioned must have been a 6MT.

Personally, I consider anything that traps over 110-ish to be reasonably entertaining.

I was gonna say, any new electronics likely weighs under 10 pounds for the entire implementation on the new Z.

Most of that stuff is little plastic boxes, fine wire and the "magic" of it all is just in coding.

Supra guys are so proud of their BMW?

Are they unaware of the Tesla that rips the 1/4 trap at 155mph? Or the fact that almost any Tesla can annihilate the Supra?
