There is only one engine available. 287hp 3.5L V6.
As for weight, it depends on what model you get. For a coupe it'll be somewhere between 3188(base coupe)-3239(coupe touring). For convertable, its either 3428 or 3462. The coupes aren't terribly heavy, the convertables are a bit on the portly side.
Assuming that HP rating is at the wheels, if you weighed 150lbs and you had a base model Z, then the Z should be good for around a 13.2 second 1/4 mile.

Too bad its not so it runs low 14s and can get in the high 13s.

I doubt 13.2 for the 350z. Evos and STIs can barely even pull that. Mustangs nor Camaros can pull that low of 13s unmodded. If they can... DAMN.

Its about time someone says something thats accurate... lol.. Okay, just being silly, but seriously, I have seen a stock 03 cobra run mid to high 12's easily. I have a Mach 1, and my best pass was a 13.08(bone stock), and the racing conditions that day could not have been better. The track was so sticky, I pulled 1.9's in the 60' twice. Machs hook up soooo well out of the hole if you don't get into it too fast. And for the 350Z, they would be really lucky to ever touch 13's, as they are a 14.1-14.4 second car just as the Mustang GT(99-04). But anything is possible.

you my man are one of the few people who arnt ignorant in this thread. i thank you for that. actualy i like this forum cus people seem more mature than in other forums. thank all of yall.

p.s. a mach 1 w/ drag radials can run 12.9s a cobra can run 12.6s.
