I can't really say about the automatic cause I never test drove one but I have test drove the 350Z 6MT. That makes it through the 1/4 mile in 14.3 sec. I'm sure the automatic will be in that range some wear under 14.5 sec if not faster the the 6 speed.
With a stick and a competent driver it will run a 13.8 and I know of several guys who have dipped down to 13.6s and 13.5s absolutely stock. My buddy with a 6 speed ran a 13.77 awhile back. Now a 14.3 or worse is what I might expect from somewone who isn't a good driver or isn't in the know of operating the car. It all matters on the launch because thats where most owners own their cars and don't get anywhere. Best I have seen for an automatic is a 13.9 stock but that was with a crazy good driver who did a few extra things on the launch to get his baby going. Average i would say would be between 14.2 and 14.3 in the quarter.
And the automatic is much slower then the manual where are you coming from saying the automatic should be faster then the manual? Before you post up to respond to someone make sure your numbers and statments are correct.
In some situations the auto is faster cause ther is no way to mess up a shift. U get perfect shifts every time. Plus, Go to any Nissan dealer Ship and they'll give you about the same time. I know my fact's and I checked my numeber's. So go and check your agian. Plus I never heard a stock Nissan going in the 13's. So Before you post up to respond to someone make sure your numbers and statments are correct.

Listen if you post it on here you don't have to send me such an immature pm. You are completely wrong admitt it. Autos can be moddified to shift as fast as a stick but stock they are NOT. And where do you exactly get your information most magazines say a 13.8 and motortrend just ran a 13.77. Now I also must ask you to clean up your language in your pms you spoke like a immature 6th grader. You are wrong live with it. Also I have friends who run at the track and I have seen them run in the 13s.

Well, I have a stock Z and two weeks ago I ran a 13.843 @ 100.14 at Houston Raceway Park. I have the timeslip to prove it.
I have ran my Z at least 20 times at the track. Stock i'm stuck at a 14.3. I haven't broke that barrier yet and don't think it's possible without adding onto the car. Anybody that's running in the 13's with a stock Z isn't running a quarter and/or is lying. I'm not the only Z out here in Hawaii running a solid 14.3 so it's not the driver.
I have seen them run it stock in person. I watched my friend run the 13.77. Your 60ft is what makes or breaks the race you have to get down to around a 2.0 or your not going to pull it. I have seen the slips on my350z for a guy who ran a 13.5 stock and several others have pushed 13.6s stock and even motortrend on tape managed a 13.7. If your running 14.3s work on your launch and your 60ft times. By the way what were your 60ft times when you ran your 14.3?

Buy some slicks and your time will improve.
Some of you guys are not telling the truth, TruBluZ and JAMESZ.
An automatic will be around a 14.3 I am not lieing I have seen it and I have seen you on my350z so I know that you have seen some of the times. Stock tires best have seen with a stock car was a 13.5. Another had an Injen CAIwhich robs 2 horsepower from the car. I'll find the slips if you don't believe me but don't call me a liar because I have done quite a bit of research on the 350Z. 14s for an auto are expected but you can get the car 13.8 with a good driver (what it should be stock) and even lower with some amazing drivers.

I looked all over for your 13.7 and could not find it on Motor trend.
Most people who are experianced with our cars think that the My350Z site is full of it when they claim 13.6 1/4 on a stock 350Z even their members talk shit to them about it. Have you looked in race fourm there, it's a joke! I beat a Poopra, Z32TT, WRX sti, Evo8, etc. They are either lying or not telling what they really have under the hood.
When I see a dyno sheet and time slip of their claim then I will believe.
Oh trust me I can't stand 350Z owners and I laugh to death reading all their race threads about beating Z32tts and STis but there are a very limited few who are cool. The guy who ran a 13.5 isn't to bad and he doesn't get involved in those dicussions the didn't believe him until two of his friends posted that he realy had done it and then he showed the times slip.
