350z vs stockish EVo

[Dragonfly5338]

I never stated that I was a Nissan specialist by any means, when I WAS working there- I did learn a decent amount...and well, I still say that an EVO would roast a 350.



You would be suprised how many people run this set up.. dual CAI's... yup- thanks come again.

Stock for nearly stock it probably would come down to driver. Evo doesn't have killer topend. Gearing wise he would have been at the end of 4th to 5th gear @ 70+mph. 350 with the 6spd has more gearing to go through at high speeds. Evo is stuck in 5th - it's power is best in 2nd or 3rd gear.

I've raced many a 350z and never lost, but my car is not stock. With less than a grand in mods the Evo has jumped from ~ 230 whp to close to 270-290whp. That's a big difference, especially on the highway.

Damn, this thread has been entertaining.

You're right.
