well, talked to a salesman today, and he claimed 0-60 in 6 flat for 6 speed, and 6.4 for auto, don't know how valid his claims were, but at least its a starting point.

Its main competition are going to be the same cars as the TLS as it really hasnt gotten any faster. They include the 02-04 Maximas, G35's,TLS's,330's 3.5 Altima's,CLS's etc. all of these cars run similiar times and is very driver dependent, but go to each of their forums and they all say their faster. I take that with a grain of salt form any of those forums! other cars will try but many will fail for sure and win for sure!

You are becoming as cynical as jimcol. 
But why do you feel the J32A2 is overrated?? The stock 6-Speed dynos have been between 215 - 220 WHP with a drivetrain loss of about 17%. This equates to right at 260 crank HP. The automatics have dyno'd around 200 WHP with a drivetrain loss of about 23% which equates to about 260 crank HP also.

most auto transmissions cars w/ a crank rating of 260 will put down more than 200 whp....

DB - 23% loss for an auto transmission car is pretty good.

Most import, particularly FWD, automatics seem to be in the 22% - 27% range.

It just seems that when everything is packed into the FWD automatic transaxle, and designed by the Japanese
, there is more drivetrain loss. I beleive the Maxima guys have it worse at about 25% loss. So Our 23% is just about in the middle.
