Time to settle it: Which Z will prevail?

[04SRT10]

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..

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 don't make excuses about what kind of gas the other guy is using.

Here's a video from www.spdkilz.com featuring a stock C6Z06 running a 520rwhp TT350Z.

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

That video only shows what I was talking about.. TT VQ's make nice numbers and they're fun but they are not geared for high horsepower.. you can see the 350Z shift at least 3 times and dropped back significantly every time.

IMO even if the TT350z DID win on race gas and like 20+psi (and it wouldn't be by a very wide margin).... doing something like that to your vehicle that absolutely destroys the reliability of the motor just to compete with a LSx motor that performs like your grenade-o-motor on a reliable, long-term, daily basis is hardly what i call a 'win'

it's one thing if it's a track car, but if it's something street driven fairly regularly ... that's ridiculous. I can get my car up to 450rwhp easily and still drive it 50-100k+ miles even beating the crap out of it on occasion.

can't argue with logic, man besides, all it takes for him to win, at that point, is another bolt-on. Though I give some respect, the TT 350z is certainly a fast car! handles really well i'm sure!

I know I'd lose to a TT350Z, but I'd like to see how a cam only Z06 would fair against it.

He might lose but i want

I think you have to insult someone to race them on here...

350z SUCK!!!! lol just teasing guys...

My car makes 500+whp on 93 pump gas, but on race gas its another story. Why would I limit myself in a race against another car by only using pump though? Why would anybody for that matter?

I could use 100 octane pump and bump the power up even more if I really wanted to.

All it takes is a little bump in boost/timing and it covers that "another bolt-on".

How would it not be reliable though? Revving the crap out of the motor will kill it faster than using higher octane.

He may mean that the new Z06 comes with an optional 100,000 mile warranty. A 10sec car with a 100,000 mile warranty is unheard of.

For the same amount of money that an Evo has in it, you can make the Z06 just as fast and probably faster. Which isn't taking anything away from the Evo, but it takes much less to make a V8 faster than a 4cyl.

Oh, don't get me wrong. I would take a new C6 Z06 and just do some bolt ons. I chose the Evo because I like a challenge. It really is a slow car.

How many cars in the $30K range can run 11's with less than $2,000 in mods? Very few.

Oh, and I forgot about the couple Evo's running minimal mods and a 75 shot running in the 10's.

that about sums it up right there.

if you want a challenge, hope on a gixxer kart and try not to kill yourself. I always wanted to try one of those out.
