just like it's supposed to.

slap a turbo on it and it might beat a stock ls1 car.

Put a turbo on it and have any significant boost and of course you'll beat a stock LS1 F-body. Start saving though, your aftermarket segment can be adequately described as ***-rapage for the consumer

I really like the looks of the 350Z. And I've heard they handle great. Thought about picking up a used one recently. But the new Lexus IS350 will be out soon. 306 Hp with 4 doors and slightly better handling than the previouse model, from what I've read. Nissan is probably working on upping the HP to at least match. Otherwise they will lose some sales and some street races.

They're too heavy. No excuse for their weight....damn new cars suck, they all weigh way way too much.

350 like the Rx8 needs a turbo.

The G35 is getting a v8 option. It's a done deal. Not sure about the 350z though.

From what I have seen the Z's are better suited towards handling than dragging. Good show and awesome not to hear lies (Promise ill tell the truth too IF i EVER get a LS1 run...)

350Z does need a turbo, but the RX8 needs a new engine altogether.

I destroyed a 350Z from a roll then pooped in his face.

RX8's are pretty pathetic and I don't just mean in the performance department...the things are ugly!
