honestly pengaru you really gotta ******* test drive a 350z...it feels lighter than a GTUs and pulls harder than a turbo 2

i stand corrected with the lateral g comment..that was dumbassness on my part

t2 s5 is 200 big guy

t2 = 200 hp

plus rb exhaust = 60 hp

inatake = rounded 7 hp

thats 267 hp on the t2

without including the turbo and timing tweaking

t2 = 267= lighter

350z = 280 = heavier by atleast 200 pounds

in other words

A rather good race i would say

and i repeat my self for a point

and i think the t2 will win

how fast is a monte carlo? I raced one tonight and my N/A was about the same speed.

The test surface used for the evaluation was an asphalt surface, and it was pretty bumpy. Nevertheless, our baseline tests verified Mazda's claimed lateral acceleration for the RX-7 Turbo. With the original equipment tires and wheels, and inflation pressures of 32 psi both front and rear, the RX-7 Turbo was able to generate 0.865 g of cornering force. After we completed the modifications described above and made our tire inflation adjustments, we measured the car's final lateral acceleration at 1.0065 g. Not bad for a stocker, eh?

great write up... 1g from a tuned stock suspension with just a wheel and tire upgrade is outstanding. That is what I love about these cars. Even after 15 years, they can still compete well with today's cars in the handling dept.
