0 - 60 in 4.4 seconds.. I DONT THINK SO! common how can it be 4.4 when the stock Z8 is 4.2.. and this one has a 115 HP upgrade not to mention the aerodynamics so its probebly 3.8 or less<!-- Signature -->
Good point, didn't cross my mind for one second at all. Someone please further explain this besides the fact that traction might've been a factor.
ok.....the Z8 is not 4.2 sec! its 4.9 with 394hp!!! the best it can do if ur good is 4.6sec! not 4.2.. so the 4.4 is just about right..cuz i bet the weight on this car mayb more
ok im goin to www.bmwusa.com to confirm that crap rite now..... gimme a sec....... hmm... weird.. well umm the bmwusa says: "It propels the Z8 from 0 to 60 in well under 5.0 seconds* and allows for awe-inspiring acceleration in any gear *Preliminary manifacturer's data" well there ya go manifactures data
If you look at most tuners cars on this site you will notice that once bodykits upgraded wheels and others the 0-60b times slow down
correct.and u have to consider the extra weight that slows it down. but why is the front spoiler dragging out on the road?
I'm surprised BMW made a very fast Z8. Z8 cars are not too fast, because they only top 155 mph. That's pretty slow for an exotic roadster.
firstly y would bodykits make a lot of difference to weight- they're made out of plastic, not lead. and a body kit, contrary to popular belief, does not increase acceleration, they create more drag - which resists accelaration and reduces top speed, they r there to reduce lift for getting handles as the weight stays on the wheels.
Didn't you know that the Z8 has a limiter in 155mph as all German cars except Porsche and some others.Its topspeed (the normal one),without a limiter, is about 290km/h.If you think that the M5 (tuned a little bit) which has some aerodynamics helps from AcSchnitzer, it's a bit lighter(than the normal edition) and it doesn't have any limiter can reach at about 296km/h!Without any tuning in the engine.Anyway what do you mean "Z8 is very fast" and then you say "Z8 cars are not too fast"??Are you stupid?!
Re: 0 - 60 in 4.4 seconds.. I DONT THINK SO! YOU ALL HAVE TO THINK ABOUT THE STOCK M5 als, the stock m5 pulls a 0-60 of around 4.5 4.6 and the z-8 uses the m5 engine and since it is much lighter than the m5, it prolly pulls a a pretty friggen fast 0-60. Now my neighbor has a Euro Spec z-8 that he got imorted from arabia, and he said that in 5th gear the car toped out @ about 168 IN 5TH!!!!!! so either the specs on this z8 are horribly wrong OR the front spoiler was just a fashion statement cuz they utimatley made a excellent car...bad.
Getting off the topic but it's just great to see another legend having their say from little old TASSIE!
I dont know why but i went to a few websites and they say that because the car ahs much more power the cars standard traction control cannot handle the power increase therefore the car spins at pulloff a little more that is why it has a slower pulloff!
