Nissan 370Z vs Porsche 718 Cayman S

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Porsche 718 Cayman S is the quicker car, covering it in 12.04 s at 116.0 mph against the Nissan 370Z’s 13.37 s — a margin of 1.34 s. To 60 mph the Porsche 718 Cayman S takes 3.63 s and the Nissan 370Z 4.84 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from each car’s published kerb mass, rated power and drivetrain, then fitted to its own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Questions

Is the Nissan 370Z or the Porsche 718 Cayman S faster?
The Porsche 718 Cayman S. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 12.04 s to the Nissan 370Z's 13.37 s, a margin of 1.34 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 3.63 s against 4.84 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Nissan 370Z 0-60 time?
The Nissan 370Z reaches 60 mph in 4.84 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 13.37 s at 103.9 mph.
What is the Porsche 718 Cayman S 0-60 time?
The Porsche 718 Cayman S reaches 60 mph in 3.63 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 12.04 s at 116.0 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Nissan 370Z trips the lights at 103.9 mph and the Porsche 718 Cayman S at 116.0 mph at the end of the quarter mile. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every time on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. Each car is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it matches its own published acceleration figures — 9 of 10 for the Nissan 370Z and 9 of 10 for the Porsche 718 Cayman S. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
