[angelo]

the only test I know of is the Car and Driver one - they got 0-60 for 6.9s and low 15s for a 1/4 mile

anyone feelin' me on that?

Motor Trend has it clocked at 15.0 in the 1/4 mile going (don't quote me on this one) 93 mph! The car is no slouch! The car has more than adequate power. A supercharger would make this thing run with the popular sports cars like the Z and Honda S2000. Ok, maybe close. More like running over the V-6 Altimas and V-6 Honda Accords. I think a supercharger would put us somewhere between a Nissan Z's time and a Honda Accord's 1/4 mile time. My opinion of course. What do you guys think?

I think stock it is on par with the accord in 1/4 mile times and here is why

1- Honda automatics are power robbers ( around 22% )

2- their HP #s are inflated ( saw a v6 accord dyno at 182 at the wheels and should have been around 192 )

3- NO torque for the honda v6 means slower off the line


BTW the honda s2000 is way overated in terms of speed and power... agian they overstated thier figures and I saw a built up s2000 fail to crack the 200 hp figure... but it is light and nimble

I would suspect that if you put a S/C on the 3.3 Solara you would run low 14's and push close to 260 ( at the wheels )... my car dynoed at 196hp stock ... what impressed me most was the fact that most cars lose between 15-25% of their power in their tranny... this new 5spd auto seemed to only lose around 13%... which to me makes it seem pretty effecient

Could you please post your dyno results, I am very curious...
And btw, 04 V6 Solara stock is already faster than auto Accord and Altima...

Angelo,
Can you post where you saw that the Stock 04 V6 Solara is faster than the Auto Accord and Altima? Which magazine?

get Car & Driver for example:
2003 Accord EX V6 3.0 V-6/5A 0-60 7.80s, 1/4 mile 15.70s
2002 3.5 SE 0-60 7.30s, 1/4 mile 15.60s
both slower than Solara results (0-60 7.0s)

I will post them after I get them scanned in and find a service to post on

I am talking about the 2004 Accord and Altima. Yes, the 5 speed is obviously faster. But the Accord and Altima I believe is still a bit faster ewven in automatic form. It may be a race of driver vs. driver. You guys brought up a good point about our powertrain loss. Someone said 13% loss with 196hp at the wheels. Please post that, because that is amazing! Auto trannys usually lose alot of hp & torque at the powertrain. I have noticed that Toyota's have what I always refered to as a "bullet-proof tranny". I see our Solara's run with GTP's with 260 hp and Accord's with 240 hp and Altima's with 240 hp. I also believe that a SC would bring us in the low 14's which is why I stated we would be running with the Zs and S2000s and maybe a few auto V-8 Firehawks.

EVERY race is driver vs driver...

NON of these cars are race cars by any stretch of the imagination... not even boosted!!! I found find it hard to believe that anyone in here bought the solara because it was "fast"... If a guy in an accord or altima pull next to me and want to race I think I may laugh my ass off... that would be as funny as my buddy trying to race my ducati with his harley...

dont trust the magazines. I have an accord and a member of v6p.net (mostly accords, but all people welcome especially people with V6 engines)

the 03' Accord V6 run stock at low 15's. Some guy with just a intake on the 03 V6 auto ran i believe it was a 14.9. So those car magazines were wrong or just got a slow car. Stock ones do generally low 15's-mid 15s.

Road and Track:

0-60 in 6.6 seconds
1/4 mile at 15.0
MPH 94.1

That's on an '04 Solara SE Sport. I've owned a ton of cars, and believe me, this car with an auto is going to easily take care of most drivers in "manual sports cars". If a stick, say a G-35 6-speed for an example, can run 0-60 in 6.2 seconds, you'd have to drive it PERFECT to keep up with a guy in an auto that can run the 6.6 seconds over and over again.

They tested an S2000 and said they could get it in the upper 5 second 0-60 range but only with a perfect launch. They regularly got low to mid 7 second runs to 60. Either too much spin or not enough revs.

At the 1/4 mile track, a manual has a better shot than on the street as you can sit with the revs at a perfect spot, and try to be consistent with your shifts. But on the street??? Forget it, an auto Solara that is a second slower will have a good chance at any stick.

Of course I don't condone street racing, but man, 0-50, this thing is WAY quicker than it should be!!!
