Time to settle it: Which Z will prevail?

Funny how no Z owners are posting anything......

susan would prolly hand you your ass on a platter, but unlike domestics, imports can turn right! (PS domestic boys, i'm about to have a domestic in my driveway, so it was said jokingly)

But if you think that Z's are slow, just wait until i get back from florida in april and you'll see how slow Z's are..... I'm just trying to stand up for all Z owners.....

I heard or your car, seen you car in person at the old Wal-Mart in Gwinnett, and also approached you in person and on 85N. Both times I was turned down for a race in my basically stock Z06. You had the twins and raced a few cars prior so I asked but the guy, your BF or hubbie, denied the challenge.

I have a little C6 now so I can show you how the LS2 runs instead this time.

I don't run my car everytime someone pull up next to me or tells me they want to run.... My car is a weekend car..... It's not that fast anyhow..... Back then it was putting down 401whp and 423torque.... And when i get it back in April it'll only put down around 500whp and mayby 530 torque..... But if you want to run and you catch me in the right day no problem..... I know V8's are fast... I see them run at the track all the time.....

**hydroshutter** · 03-17-2007, 12:37 AM

Bump just because.

**oro** · 03-17-2007, 01:25 AM

Pretty stupid call out. Sorry but your asking 230whp to 300whp cars to take on a car that stock is lighter and puts down roughly over a supercharged Z 50 more to the wheels with gobs more torque. That is a major handicap, what's the difference from you racing a TT Z thats putting down 400-450 to the wheels since it's not made of fiberglass?

Bitching and calling out is one thing, but if you call them out, you better be prepared for a powerful car to come kicking your door down, you nit pick when someone brings an overpowered car to the fight, but you yourself were the overpowered car who started it.

How is it unfair? 5.7 liters vs 3.5 liters. You said high bolt ons or superchargers? You know the turbos are putting down more, so take a shot at them. Hell im sure a number of people on my350z would love to race you with their TT Z's. We had a single turbo who ran down here in AZ and put up a damn good fight against a C6 Z06 with unbuilt internals. If you want a bolt on car that could kick yours around, pick on an AMG car. That IS power. 5.5 liters of it. Automatic with the ability to hit over 200 quite easily.

http://members.cox.net/joeyoro/E55_Stage3.JPG

Bolt ons, and an ECU tune.

I love my 350z, but I know it will not be close to as powerful of a car as the Mercedes cars we work on or boost. So please. Pick a fight with something closer to your literage...bolt on, for bolt on.

P.S. and SS or WS6 would be a lot more of an even fight. Closer match, and I already posted that vid of my own, bolt-on for bolt-on.

**oro** · 03-17-2007, 01:36 AM

I do not know who said it, but the Z's interior is equally as flimsy as a Corvettes, I personally like it. Sports cars aren't made to be luxury cars, and shouldn't sweat the details. They should be ready to get it on when you smack the gas and your head should hit that cheap rough slab they call a headrest.

We all know the LS engines are proven, Chevy does V8's right. Who cares what car maker it's from anyway? An engine works and does what it's supposed to do, it doesn't gain power because of the badge that sits on top of it.

If you want a race, go onto MY350Z.com, they took down the street racing forums because they didn't want people killing people. So simply challenge someone at the track. Or if you want an interesting bolt on fight. Challenge the ever rare 07 Z's with their HR engines and their 7500 redline.

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...olco/track.jpg

Stock 07 with a 2.2 60 ft. 13.6 at 104mph, theres a lot more left in that with the right tires, bolt ons and a tune and of course dropping that 60ft.

**hydroshutter** · 03-17-2007, 01:43 AM

That sounds like a nice 350. I'd love to see it in person sometime.

**oro** · 03-17-2007, 01:52 AM

The single turbo Z that ran against the Z06 lost by a couple of car lengths. His power was 446whp/505tq on stock block, he had it boosted for roughly 60k miles or more, so his engine was just as reliable as an LS series engine :O...(For those of you not noticing my sarcasm i'm saying both engines can take a beating, not that both are POS')

Which one?

**hydroshutter** · 03-17-2007, 01:56 AM

I don't think Nissan's, Infiniti's or their subsidiaries are pieces of shit. I almost bought a 350z, and a G35. I love the cars.

I'm not a brand loyal domestic lover only

To be honest im not super brandtastic either, I just don't like when people compare very different cars over things. My Z will get smoked by a TON of cars, is my car fast? I think it's quick, but not FAST. The funny thing is if you go onto the MY350Z boards, most of the guys on there would trade their nuts for a C6 Z06, and most of them talk about how the Z doesn't stack up to other cars, not too big of an ego trip there at all.

As american cars go...if I couldn't find a 350Z when I was looking, I wanted a 0x+ Supercharged Cobra, the sound of it is worth it alone!

Fast cars....I raced my boss in a Noble M400. If anyone wants to get humbled....race one of those, thats a FAST car. From the time it took me to hit off the 1-2 shift he was already gaining bus length's....and what sat in the back? Twin Turbo...V6...Ford....Modified..DURATEC...Simply awesome.

**GirlieZ** · 03-17-2007, 02:18 AM

http://videos.streetfire.net/categor...8280820b5d.htm
Spd Kilz Z06 (430rwhp) vs TT 350Z (430rwhp) vs McLaren SLR

SLR beats the Z06 by one car, and the Z by 2 cars. For the equal amount of whp and being 200-300 lbs heavier than the Z06, I would say thats impressive. I would say both cars are extremely impressive staying so close to the SLR.

So there you have it 2 Z's race, and the SLR prevails.

**iloveboost** · 03-17-2007, 09:02 AM

Ok, my stock car won't do too much to a TT350Z, but I've got a friend or two that might be able to put up a better fight.

Let's open this up to TT350Zs.

I won't use the ricer excuse "Give me 2 months to finish my car", but if no one has stepped up, my car will be ready then.

The owner of that car found out he wasn't making as much as he thought, the next week after getting his car fixed, he beat the Z06.

Mind you he was using a T66 fetus eater if im not mistaken. I'm not doubting the C6Z06 at all, I know those cars are porn for most car enthusiasts hell me included. If I see that 505 HP badge, i'm slinging yogurt at their window.

What has your car run in the 1/4? I'm not gonna try to find an overpowered monster, i'd like to keep it as close as possible.

I'm sure once you do whatever in the next two months it would be hard for a TT Z to even mess with you, then you might be forced to move up to Sharif and his buddies.

I am the owner of the Z06. I registered on here when I had my 04 Viper, hence the name.

Anyway, I am not sure where you are getting your info from, but that is completely NOT true. I raced that 350Z about 5x, and the only time he beat me is when I let him (put it in the wrong gear and had a passenger). That 350Z owner got a new exhaust system and a retune, and we will be reracing again soon while capturing it on tape. Once the race takes place, I will report back with the video.

It is a fast car, but it will take a 350Z some serious power to out run a stock C6 Z06..

Ahh gotcha, the owner of the 350Z posted that info a while ago on my350z, along with the video, which is why I had already seen it. I tried digging up the thread, but I believe it was deleted with the rest of the street racing forums. Now we only have *legal* racing forums on MY350Z forums. I assume maybe he took your missed shift as the win he reported.

No doubt the Z06 is a monster, at all. It would take a Z a large amount of work to fight with one, a whole lot more whp and tq then the Z06 needs to do the job. Which dollar per performance is a lot of money to make that Z compete at all. Speaking of, you had an 04 SRT 10? Those were the newer style ones right? A friend of a buddy has an 05 or 06 SRT10 Viper which year I can't remember and has beaten a couple of C6 Z06's and a couple of exotics. Was wondering then why you switched out for the Z06? Just overall more power or does it get the power down to the ground more handily, since that Viper came stock with beefy 300+ series tires.

I can't remember if it is Sharif's guys or another shop who have built a couple of 4x0Z TT's that are belching out absurd amounts of power. I know Sharif put together Albertos and a couple of other awesome performing Z's.

Right now it seems like a lot of companies are building stroker TT Z's and it seems like their all competing for 800+ numbers on the newer turbo kits coming out.

http://s140.photobucket.com/albums/r...rrent=GTMl.flv
Thats the new sleeper from GTM putting down 800/800+ whp & Torque. Beautiful how it looks stock. Though I believe he runs it on low boost which is closer to around 600wheels or so at 16psi to make it streetable, at least thats the lowest dyno pic I saw was the 600whp 16 psi. Not so sure I'll have to double check.

I didn't miss a shift, I put the car in the wrong gear. We went from a 65/70 and I put it in third gear instead of second intentionaly to give the guy a chance and see what would happen. He pulled on me a bit until my rpms started climbing up, and just as I was about to pass he shut down..lol. It's all good.

I got out of the Viper and into the Z06 because the Z06 is a much better overall car, and not to mention it is quicker/faster too than the 03-06 Vipers..

lol, one more time...

We were side by side at 65/70 mph on the expressway. While he was next to me, I downshifted to third gear. I should have downshifted to second gear, but decided to downshift to third instead. While I am in third gear with a passenger and he is in his sweet spot, we honked it off and both took off on three honks. When we took off on the third honk, he was able to pull ahead of me for a bit due to my car ot being near its powerband. Once my rpms started climbing up into my powerband, I started to reel him in and I was getting ready to pass him. As soon as I got to his door and ready to pass, he shutdown and quit racing.

**04SRT10** · 03-26-2007, 12:16 AM

Hey guys...I raced that same 350Z AGAIN today after he got some new stuff put on. On 18 psi, he made 550 rwhp on race gas. We tried racing while he was on 18 psi but his car was acting funny, so he took it down to 16 psi and the car ran well. I am not sure how much rwhp he lost going down two psi's, but it can't be that much. Not sure if it would have mattered anyway.

My car is bone stock making 460 rwhp.

Vid will be up shortly. It is a crappy video due to the camera angle. I had a camera mount in my car that I used, but you definitely get the idea from this video. Stay tuned..

**LiveaxleLS1** · 03-26-2007, 02:06 AM

race gas, eh? IMO if you can't fill up at the local QuickTrip then it doesn't count...i mean, why not just throw a 200 shot on top of it?

real men fill up at the dentist's office!

There are tons of other vids of running 600cc bikes, Whippled 600+ rwhp Cobra and a Porsche 911 997 Turbo among other videos.

Nope. Going to open it up to TT350Zs in about 3-4 weeks.
