2 & 3 are just a rumor at this point and nowhere in sight.
rumor is some typical bolt-ons.....downpipe, chargepipe, intake, etc

Check out what a tune did to this SS/TC Cobalt. They make a world of a difference.

think that tunes impressive, you out to see what a good tune does to a BMW 335i and its Bi-Turbo 6 cylinder. Supposedly can take it down into the 11's on race gas, mid-low 12's on pump.

Yeah man, I'm definitely looking to find an '08 or '09 silver couple that's in nice shape.

K&N air filter in the modified stock air box, charge pipe, catless downpipe, and a tune and you're pushing 300-325hwp in a 2900lb car for about $800. Add a $500 intercooler and the guys on the Cobalt board are making 340-360whp and 390-400wtq.

350z can break 13s stock? That's news to me. Most have a hard time breaking 14s. BTW "Breaking 13s" means breaking out of 13s into the 12s. If you are referring to getting into the 13s, that would be breaking 14s no?

350z's can run a high to mid 13 stock in most drivers hands. they might trap a bit low but the car can do it.

and if i recall 370zs are a low 13sec car stock. http://www.dragtimes.com/Nissan-370Z...lip-19264.html

What year? Every place I've seen pre 2008 350z times have been high 13s low 14s. Most magazines rate them at 14.2. Now I know the 370z is faster, and the 2008 350 was faster, but I am referring to the ones made before 2008. I have two friends both with 350z. One a 2003, and the other a 2006. Neither of them could get out of the 14s stock till a lot of practice, and now they are in the high 13s with a K&N filter. (Not sure it really made any difference, they claim it did)
and if i recall 370zs are a low 13sec car stock. http://www.dragtimes.com/Nissan-370Z...lip-19264.html
I am sure they are. I love the 350-370z cars.

honestly i havent seen a true bone stock 350z in a while. I know the HR was quicker then the previous, but the early 03-05 i think versions i recall then dipping into 13's. just trapping very low.

How interesting. I'm in Silicon Valley and see multiple 350s every single day and the vast majority "look" stock.

This is true. All 350's are capable of mid 13's stock. Combination of driver, track prep, and car all years can do it. I had no problem getting a 13.948 on worn bridgestones and 2.1 60'. That's with an 06 that increased 200lbs after 05 but still had 300hp that year.

I had always thought so myself. But what accounted for the 200lb weight gain? That is significant for a two seater.
