This morning i was on my way to McDs for breakfast.

I see a New 350Z with Temp tags. So I stop behind him,

because there was no open lane. As the light turned green, I figured the 350Z might play, I was taching it up

while easing on the clutch. So as we leave the light, I notice, the 350z getting on the gas as smoke comes

out its exhaust. So I WOT into 2nd. I pulled up and

next to this 350z in 2nd, and started pulling away

then into 3rd i had at least 2-3 car lengths on it.

Wasn't much of a race. So I let off then turn into

mcD's, as the 350z zooms by.



I must admit. the new 350z looks nice, but is SLOW.

Gets no respect. I hope they put some turbos in those

things, because it needs it bad.



My go fast mods:



pfc w/commander

intake

dp,mp,cb

smic

hks ignition

pullies

and etc

good kill...

could he still have been breaking it in?

not trying to say you wouldn't have killed him otherwise, just wondering if that affects performance

Cool.

It would be a good race between the FD and the 350Z.

The Z has a HP advantage, but is heavier than the FD. I don't know if the HP advantage will make up for the extra weight though.

cool, but u have got to realize ur car is fast, probably putting down 300 to the wheels w/ 2800lb-ish. Thats goona whoop almost all stock cars.

I got in it with one of those things... A nice blue one... It was quick off, but fell back as I went to 3rd gear... Pretty sweet car. But he was drooling when he caught me at the next light. We exchanged thumbs. I think it may have been a dealer car or some ****... Looked like a tech driving it....

lol thats like someone racing with a car from the dealership... i cant remember who it was though

friends father bought a 350z and the old 300z TT puts it to shame, the 350 really needs boost

yeah, i imagine they wrere braking it in. i seriously doubt they are going to blow a new engine on a punk kid in a 3rd gen. Thoses Z's look good, and i image if companies like mazda and others beef up the power with off shoots like mazdaspeed and SVT, nissan will step it up with nismo or something like that.

i think twin89stangs did that before

you can buy the race version of the 350z for about 80000. thats what car and drvier said

They still break cars in these days?

Nismo makes a twin turbo kit with I/C, it's supposed to make 380rwhp. but it costs $15K for the kit.

that would be a nice 350z though if it had twin turbos. i would want one. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/boink.gif

arent cars already broken in by the time they reach the dealers?

FD3S with those mods will of course kill a 350z. How about the stock FD3S straight off the showroom floor VS the 350z?



I really doubt the 350z wasn't racing. He probably was. He had a reputation to uphold, right? Nissan VS Mazda? He tried, he lost. Too bad he can't make easy power like a turbo car can.

stock i think the cars should be pretty close... advantage to the fd top end though... most cars are computer controlled now and have no break in period... when my g/f bought her focuz he told her drive it normal.. that there was no driving restrictions... although i still wouldnt push it hard for awhile

my exgirlfriend bought a nissan sentra last year and had to break it in for like 500 miles, not going above 4000 rpm i believe.

I had a chance to take a new one (Silver 350) for a spin on the 94 but didn't because I've never driven a stick FD so I couldn't ruin the expeiance. Hey, I take my FD **** very seriously, won't drive anything remotly fast until my test drive on friday. Ahhh, first M/T FD drive, it'll be a Montego Touring with the rear wing. God damn, only 6 more days.

i just read in some magazine today that the 350's are supposed to put out 300+ stock in 04 or somethin like that... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/BURNOUT.gif

Can't wait to hear about or see a 350z against and RX8 stock race. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/BURNOUT.gif

The 350 Z will win, unless it's a mazdaspeed version. The Z right now has 280 hp, and at least that much torque. By the time the RX-8 gets up to anything resembling torque or power output, the Z will have something like 4 car lengths on it, and the 8 wont have enough power to catch up. The Z has 0-60 in like 5.3 sec, the 8 will be lucky to get under 6.0 sec.



The 8 needs boost bad.

Both are perdy kewl...







But Japan can lick my left ball for leaving off the boost.





(I know... Not Japans fault but **** 'em anyway!)

i dont like the look of the rx8 or the 350z. but even if the rx8 has less hp i would still take it over the z for one reason and one reason only.... ROTARY POWAHHHHH

Hooah... I love the rpms and the increasing power through the rpm range on a rotary

Trust me that guy in the 350z, was racing.

I pulled and walked him pretty bad.

And thats after he got the jump off the light.





after i spanked him, i thought to myself.

" I would feel pretty bad, if I got a brand new Z,

and just got spanked by a 10yr old 7"

Nice! Which car do you have? A second gen right

Well, holy ****... Sounds ARMY to me! Welcome soldier!



Formation: zero seven thirty in the x rated forum every morning!



Hooah!

i would like either car. they could be my daily driver https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/boink.gif

hes got a 3rd gen.

5.3 0-60 for the 350Z?? Car & Driver, December- Its rated at 5.7seconds. The 350Z weighs 3363lbs and the RX-8 is going to be under 3000. The RX-8 also has the advantage in the rev depmt. being able to stretch its power over 8krpm hitting peak power at about 8500RPM. Dont get me wrong, im also a fan of Nissan (former 240 guy https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub... ) but the RX-8 will be faster then the 350Z without a doubt in my mind.

I have never seen those damn quoted times on the street.
