yep MotorTrend mag. (August) tested 350z faster than the vett in both
0-60 and 1/4 mile. I dont remember the number but check it out. Motortrend August issue

All info from MT

$6000 for the stage I turbo kit with these numbers vs (Z06):

0-60 - 4.61 (4.3)
1/4 - 12.79@106.5 (12.4@116.5)

Impressive numbers, but not faster than the vette. Greddy's stage II (ported heads and hotter cams) kit would make it much more interesting to compare.

im not compare it withthe Z06

I wish there was a 350zstore.com like there is a suprastore.com. If we had parts like that for our cars then ZO6 look out. Only a Ligenfelter could keep up on the 1/4 milr.

Please post the article.

do you understand the power in the Z06? It would be gone before the turbo even spooled up on the Z. No comparison. How many drivers do you think could post those numbers in the Z? The Z06 has 12 second passes with the AC on.

Actually spool up is not that large of a problem if the turbos are set up properly. Ligenfelter uses twin turbos on his corvettes, for example, without any problems. The thing is... By the time you get a z faster than a vette you have spent nearly as much. That is probably my only gripe against the supra. There are some crazy mods available at suprastor.com but the car already costs over $40,000 new. (and that was back when a 6 cylinder car could be had for $1500. But hey... You never know who's car is going to win by looking at it. That's always been the essence of street racing since it's origins.

Greddy is/are using two TDO5H-16g's which are pretty small, which means they spool faster. Top Secret's is putting down more horsepower, check them out. Also, they shouldn't compare the Corvette, Stang SVT, and/or any other domestics that outweigh the Z no matter what. Compare the car with what it was made to be compared with...the RX8.:thefinger

I agree. Different cars are for different markets. Not every car is a race car. It's nice to know that you can make a car faster than it was intended to be but it will never be a vette all things being equal (both being NA for example). If you tack a turbo on one you have to do it to the other if you are going to start judging specs. This is just my opinion, but street racing is like battle... everything is fair. If you think you can beat the guy in the vette next to you then fork up the cash and hit the gas. Talking won't change those results. That said... I don't see any reason why a heavily MODIFIED z couldn't take a STOCK Z06. It wouldn't be the first time a sport compact dusted one. But if both are stock or the vette is suped up also then the vette will trash z. You can make comparisons like this all day with every car out there it will never change the fact that certain cars are just plain GOOD for certain reasons. speed only being one of those.

well....i never intent (if i spell correctly) to compare the Z and the Vette. They are different cars. What i say is for around 10k (turbo and all the thing needed) and the Z faster than the stock Vette i will put money on it (if i have enough money). Dont get me wrong the Vette is a fast car but im a Z fan heheheheheh.....

and i don't mean only faster by straight line acceleration.. the z with aftermarket 255 front and 275 back.. still smaller tires than the z06.. at 295 back ... will turn a faster slalom at 71 mph versus 68 mph as tested by sport compact car.. and a better skidpad at .98 g verses the .97 of the z06 ..not to mention the z uses a much better engineered independent multilink rear suspension .... the greddy z will toast the new z06 and for less money.. any race car driver will tell you the handling on a car is the most important..... not the power.. the z would take the chevy on a track..

it's also important to note that according to a 3 year study done by consumer reports for 1999-2002 vehicles.. nissan had an average of 12 problems per 100 while chevy had an average of 22 problems per 100 vehicles..this has been the trend for the past 2 decades.. there's no getting around it..the japanese make higher quality cars... this can also be illustrated by the fact that the accord and camry are the best selling cars in america.. while nobody in asia buys american cars... it's common sense...
