Will the SRT-4 neon be fast as a nissan 350z in the 1/4 mile?
The stats I found in the april issue of AUTOMOBILE magazine> 350Z does 0 to 60 in 5.6 seconds, 0 to 100 in 14.4 seconds, and the 1/4 mile in 14.2 seconds @97mph compared to the SRT-4 which does 0 to 60 in 5.7 seconds, 0 to 100 in 14 seconds, and the 1/4 mile in 14.2 seconds @ 102mph. What do you think?

yes but upgrades for a 350Z aren't scarce either.
The 350Z would come tops in stock vs. Stock- Simply because it is more aerodynamic and a lighter car. The STR-4 also comes across as rather fragile as well

Check the data...hehe Anyways...we know in the end...if we wanted to play the bigger turbo/tweak game...the 350Z w/the GReddy Twin Turbo kit would wax the SRT-4 anyday...I mean w/a 450HP on tap and the potential for 600HP thru those turbos...bye bye Neon :finger: |

i thought all turbo timers did were keep the turbo's spooling after the car is turned off to ensure that the turbo's don't get oil and crap stuck in there and eventually cause the turbo to break. why would that help the neon beat the 350z? maybe you meant a boost controller. then you can turn up the boost and THEN smoke a 350z. i hate to admit it...but damn those new neons are bad ass. but 350z's aren't bad either. if i had the cash, i'd get the 350z cuz it looks much better and will turn more heads rather than get "oh it's still a freakin neon".

you really think so huh? well if you watch bestmotoring international. a stock nissan 350Z track model beat a bmw M3 at a track. there are all stock cars driven by pro drivers. the cars in that race is a porsche boxter, honda S2000, bmw M3, 350Z track model, and the R34 Skyline GT-R. of course the GT-R was first but the 350Z was only 3 seconds behind, but of course the GT-R was only following behind the Z on the first 3 laps to study cars handling dynamic's from behind, then on the 4th lap it just got serious and pulled on the Z and in only 2 laps the Z was already 3 seconds behind. and the M3 was right behind the Z. and if you think that the video is bias because its japs driving jap cars. wrong! like 3 issues ago on Road & track or one of those magazines, the title was 350Z vs. the best. they put the track model against a M3, a 911 carrera, and the Z06. of course the Z06 left everything in the dust, and the porsche was a distant 2nd. but guess what? the Z beat the M3 again! however, the Z falls behind alot on the straightline aceleration. but of course in road racing straightline aceleration only tells part of the story.

ok . . . is there some kind of demoralizing point to telling me the 350z beat an m3?
in this situation, i think u are giving too much credit to the m3 . . . the e46 is an overweight pig, the car was meant neither for straight line performance or tracking, it is just too heavy, too luxurious . . . post e30 m3 is all about status symbol by saying it beat an m3, u are not saying much . . . the instances where an e46 m3 has been beat on the track are numerous, and with time, they will keep multiplying . . . the car just doesnt stay true to its racing heritage put the 350z against an e30 on the track, and we will see who overwhelms who

i always thought the M3 was a pretty awesome car. but since your the bimmer guy here i'll have to take your word for it that its not as mighty as i think it is lolz
edit: wait a minute. back to the original subject, this is about the Z vs. SRT 4. the reason why i bought up the case with the M3 is becasue i doubt a SRT-4 can beat a M at a track.

a guy on m3forum.com beat an m3 (whos driver was the leading driving school instructor at the event) in his ls1 fbody . . . dont know what thats saying . . . u be the one to interpret
anyways . . . back on topic . . . the srt4 will be no slouch on the track . . . itd be interesting to see the weight/power distribution of the two cars, and maybe a comparison of skidpads - thatll probably be a good tell-tale sign of who might win if they went on the track

And yes, to whoever asked, a turbo timer is used simply to keep the engine running to cool down the turbo. I for one just let the car run for about 30 seconds to let it cool. If I have been pretty hard on it, then I drive around calmly for about five min, then park and let it cool for 30 seconds before shutting it off. I don't understand why people waste money on a turbo timer, they are uselss. |
