video: 07 Type-S vs. 350z
Type-S is an automatic VSA off, manual mode no brake torquing. Ending up with an ET of 14.7. The Z was also an automatic.

launch/tires/health of the car play a big roll in things like that.
you're thinking too hard.
my 94 accord wagon with an f22b2 would lay the law down on a friends '95 4-door with the same motor and transmission...

In all seriousness though, I really want to run an AT and MT TL-S. I ran a base TL auto and got him pretty bad (he had a bad launch).

Did you remove any weight?
Spare tire and tools, floor mats, OM book, 1/4 - 1/2 tank of gas, etc? Each quarter tank of gas is worth 25 pounds, maybe slightly more.
That's worth a tenth or maybe a tad more.
I ran a 14.37 stock with the weight mentioned above removed (and on a fast track with good conditions).
Regardless, good run & a nice kill.

LOL at a 5AT 350Z running 15.3s. Dear God. You should be able to get a 14.5 in that thing simply mashing the gas.
Nice run the 5AT TLS. Assuming it was in the 70s+ that night you ran, you should be in the 14.3-14.4 range once cooler (50s and below) weather rolls through.
A brake-stall launch won't hurt the tranny assuming you don't sit there for more than 20 seconds with both the brake and gas fully depressed. Most any factory field service manual uses the brake-stall to test torque converter stall speed.
On a launch, the whole brake-stall launch procedure shouldn't take more than 3 to 4 seconds. You don't want to do any longer because it builds too much heat and can slow the launch. The way I do it is gas to the floor, first amber comes on, gas to the floor, release everything the second the third amber lights up. So basically I'm brake-stalling for about 1 to 1.5 seconds. Hardly damaging to the transmission.

14.7 is pretty good bone stock man, nice job. As Dave said, with better temperatures expect a few tenths less as well as 1-2mph.
