What a joke. A 350Z with 406whp/407wtq pulled an 06 Z06 at 150+? They were even at 150, then I guess the awesome power and aerodynamics of the 350Z kicked in. What a joke.


yup... calling bullshit.

Like someone said,....MAYBE a C6...maybe. Even then, pulling @160 , I don't think so, it's easy to make 400 whp in a C6. With 3200lbs .... no way.

No Id say 400 rwhp is about average...You got lots of guys like me with only a cam/air intake/stock-mild heads pushin 360-390 rwhp..
Then you got alo of full bolt on guy with cam/good heads and full bolt ons pushin 420-450..
So 400 rwhp is probally a good avergae. now if your also counting all our 450-700 rwhp FI guys then I can see what your saying...

But yea on those boards even 300 rwhp is pretty good LOL. 400 rwhp is simply amazing and 500 rwhp is Godly.But still not bad for that lil engine I guess.

Should be a good race. It seems many people here are interested in seeing this match up.

I bet that the Vett was just a C6 and not a Z06

Plus I don't think that they went from a stop. If it was from a roll I think the Z could hang pretty well. I saw a video of Trmin8tor on here racing a new Z06 and he was beating him I think until the vette sprayed him. Bartenz has a Supercharged Z that was dead even with trmin8tor and maybe losing by a little bit. So all i'm saying is that we know a turbo is better than a SC its possible he did pull up top on the guy. Hopefully theres a video and we'll all know soon.

My friend mike, has a G35, with 625rwhp. Twin turbo kit, built motor. Never raced him from a roll but, from a dig, him on 18 inch drag radials, me on goodyear F1's and on motor....I wreck him. I don't even see him. We did not get a full pass though, so, who knows.

I would assume its a show car not a race car, right? I have never seen a G35 race car. Also, did you run him when he was on race gas or pump? If hes on pump his power is cut in 1/2

400 rear wheel must be a huge achievement to a 350z. the 06 z06 makes around 450rwhp so unless the z makes 500 rwhp I dont believe **** about that import.

it is possible if the guy just got the z06, and wasn't shifting it right or at the right rpm. a car that traps 120 could catch a granny shifted 125 trapping car.

still though.. which car would you rather be in.

I read the thread on 350z. The guys story seems like he is being honest. And his friends vouche for integrity. Maybe this Z06 driver just cant bang the gears. I mean come on. Most people who own the cars think having them entitles them to automaticly be faster. If the guy wasnt running the Vett all the way up, it very well could be as stated. Does the win make sense on paper? NOPE. But who knows. The guy is willing to put up or shut up. SO we will see.

Show car?...nah...not at all. Car looks stock, except for the front mount and wheels.

I've never seen him lay down less the 617rwhp on pump gas.

Power cut by half?.....no, not this car. It is almost always on pump. If ANYTHING, it gets a shot of nitrous to cool. No power numbers with the n20.

Anyways, the car is heavy....

I hope those LS1 guys pull thier heads out of their asses and realize F bodies are a joke to everyone but F body owners!!! lol. I like em, but comeon... they look retarded. and just imagine a jap car with a big azz V8? L-O-L

OMG you people are hilarious. Why can't you face the fact that it got pulled. Turbo cars pull totally different than NA cars do. There could have been different reasons as to why it could have happen(weather,sea level,etc). The vette is only 200lbs lighter, which equates to roughly .2 tenths of a sec. And the reason as to why the Vette started to pull past 160, is there is a govenor on the 350z at 158. Now if there where to have it removed, it would have been a different story. We have exceeded 180+ in our cars with the govenor removed.

If anyone doesn't believe how our cars can pull, give me a C6 with bolt ons or a Z06(stock) so we can run. I would race a modified one, but my injectors are maxed out, I'm already at 93% duty cycle.

I'm going out tonight and will be out there by Tomball, so give me a buzz let me know what you would like to do. I could meet ya'll if you want also.

Oh how I wish I lived in Htown (where ever that is) I cant find anyone local in a import that races. I agree with above statement. But the over looked fact is the Z06 should put down around 460 to the wheels with the 200lb weight advantage. I wont call BS on the 350z story. I just think the driver of the Z06 cant drive.

I think most Z owners will say the Z06 should win, but why do you guys not beleive that a guy can suck at driving the worlds fastest car?

Joe seems to be able to say he'll do it again, I'm expecting a loss, but hope the Z wins just so you guys can shut up with all the V8 envy. Are you guys car guys or just a bunch of fanboy's. We all love our cars, but we don't need to act like the stereo-types you guys seem to be acting like.

Unless this took place in the ******* Rockies, there is no way a turbo car with 400rwhp is going to pull a lighter car with 40-50 more rwhp. No way, no how, no sir.

To be the Devils advocate, what if the guy in the Vett didnt wrap his car to the max rev's. This is what I think may have happened.
