350Z Under 300 hp DISAPPOINTMENT

nclifter · 09-07-2003, 09:47 PM

This car is not fast. Not enuff power. I really wanted to like the 350z but it doesnt have the balls to do the job. All new sports cars and muscle cars need at least 300 hp to compete this day and age. The 350xz is far from fast. My friend raced one with his 97 C5 vette both were bone stock and he put a bad beat down on the 350z .

mmk, 13.6 is slow for a stock car with decent rubber on it? Its got a v6 get over it. Some should talk to the guy thats holding the gun to your head telling you to buy a 350z.

Sorry but R&T said the 1/4 was 14.3
Why would a buy a 350Z when I own a Viper. In which I wouldnt have to press the pedal half way down to beat the Z.
To bad Nissan does not give you a Turbo option then I could respect the car but as it is now
your cars are slow and underpowered get over it.

ok captain magazine racer, produce a better load of crap next time you come to the Z forum. This one was lame

first of all I doubt you have a viper... in my experience most people with really fast cars don't go around forums biching how slow other people's cars are....

how many poeple with a 350z go around civic forums saying how slow they are?

also if you are so rich and can aford cars like a viper why do you even bother researching 350z's ?

Seriously, the 350Z is a really nice overall car. Put a few mods on it and you make a good car even better. Besides throw on an aftermarket turbo kit and your going to be faster then 95% of the cars on the road.

I think the Z is an amazing sports car with an amazing torque curve. Yes, non-professional enthusiast drivers have pushed the car to 13.6 fully stock. There are now various aftermarket options available for the car, one being the Procharger, which pushes the rwhp output to around 380 on regular gas (with intercooler). There is also the Greddy TT that is soon to be released that will do well over 400 horses at the wheels. A modified 350Z will easily beat even the Viper, and it will cost significantly less. But that is not really an interesting arguement as that is not why people buy these performance cars anyway.

and lets not forget all the nismo upgrades that will not void the warranty

put that on the AWD g35 coming out soon and that'd be one hell of a machine. comparable to a porsche for less than 40K.
btw do you think the AWD g35 tranny and axles would swap into a Z?

this is the second time i hear abot an AWD g35....are you sure about this or its just a rumour? And will both G35 models come with it?

deadmaninc · 09-12-2003, 09:18 PM

No rumor its coming in during late fall. Its only on the sedan because they only have the sedan in awd in Japan.

it's in the october 03 Car and DRiver magazine pg88. it talks about how the tire pressure meter comes standard, there's a new center console for 6 speeds and then it briefly goes on to mention that an AWD option comes out mid year 04. i didn't know about the fact that it's only on the sedan, tht kinda sucks. the coupe should get it too. they probably want it to be just like the skyline though, an AWD 4 door beast

EMAXX · 09-13-2003, 10:25 AM

The Z is a great car. Its not some car that was ment to out perform the Corvette. Its just like it was in the olden days. A cheap, good looking sports car.
And I'm sorry, but I really doubt that you have a Viper. Post some pics and prove me wrong.

BluEVIETMooN · 09-17-2003, 05:59 PM

u shoudnt be disapointed at all. Now common 350z have 287hp stock and its all from aspirated power...and now compared them to the older Z and the Supra. Supra and older Z wiithout turbos sport a measly 220 and 222 HP.

I heard that Greddy will soon realease a TT kit which should boost 350Z HP to at least 350HP. Or stillen has a supercharger too.
