Well I haven't read all the other post here very thoroughly so excuse me if this has been said already. 0-60 in 5.8 for the 350Z will for sure be a pessimistic figure, considering a 240hp Altima has been timed at 5.8 you can bet the 350Z will outpace it for sure, with 2 less door, more hp and lighter weight than the Altima. Obviously 0-60 times from car to car are not only a hp influenced number. You have to take into consideration gearing, drivetrain losses, grip from tires, conditions, the car itself and weight transfer (see grip). The new Z does look promising, and a 300hp lighweight track model with brembo's etc, looks pretty good on paper so far. Could easily be a sub 5 sec 0-60 car, and with a potential turbo or V8 model in development, 8 speed CVT tranny, you can only imagine the possibilities. Having said all this the platform is stilled shared with the skyline and altima so dynamically I can't see it ever having the handling potential of a NSX which is a purpose built sportscar through and through.
