I've heard that too. I don't think that's a selling point for the X-runner as much as it is a reason not to buy a 350z.

X-Runners run low 15s stock, and there is currently NO SCing option for them as they are having trouble keeping the engines together at TRD.

The S-Runner, it's predecessor, ran more towards mid-high 15s and had a SC from TRd that would put them around mid 14s.

I've not had the chance to drive a Z car, but my neighbor's kid has a black X-Runner. It handles like a sports car, no joke. Tpoyota has really done a great job of tuning the suspension. It's pretty quick for a 6 as well. Nice riding truck.

Ya they handle pretty well, I don't believe there gunna have any type of s/c option though, or at least I haven't seen any come through at work, the only car I've seen here with a s/c is the scion tc, but they only had about 6 or 7 of em

a guy in my guard unit has one and swears he is in the 13's but has never been on a track...ever! so i take what he says with a grain of salt. he does brag how it gets up and goes. i offer to race him in my truck and he is game. but my pos keeps having the tranny problem....so he wins. his **** runs.

They did look a little too good to be true. I work at Toyota as a mechanic and they dont seem as fast as they are said to be. But they do handle like they are on rails.
