The VQ motor is also capable of a lot more HP but no company has really been able to crack into the ECU and the electronics of the car. The only one that has come close is APS and Jim Wolf. For staight line racing it's a pretty good car......all around aspect its an amazing car.
Chris's car or MaximumsportZ looks amazing and runs real hard. That guy knows his stuff from what I've read.

Sux was more said in jest, but I really I find them lacking...
Not to mention it seems that everyone that drives a 350z/G35 Coupe, thinks they are hot shiet. 350z's are my favorite car to trounce on, my old SRT-4's favorite food. I have never lost to one yet, though it if takes one some aftermarket boost to beat me so be it. I have less than 300 dollars in power mods, lets see a 350z get to my power to weight ratio with that amount.

Even though I drive a Z I never disrespect another persons car unless they are ignorant jackasses. Z and G owners have gotten a bad rap just like you SRT-4 owners have. Anything can be made fast depending on the money that you spend on it. No one said it was a great motor for building when I said it's been voted one of the best either. That means that consumer advocate had it down as one of the strongest engines out there, even had the cobalt SS on there this past year but no neon motors.....
But to each their own, even if your Neon would leave my Z 6 cars back I would rather be noticed 6 cars back in the Z by people. Last edited by DemitriHKS; 08-06-2006 at 12:45 PM.

My twin 350z ran a 116 trap at 7 psi of boost with a stock exhaust.
If you want to talk about pathetic, the new gt500 mustang runs slower than my 350z did at 8 psi.
Ive already shown what a twin turbo z can do. Ive walked modded c5 z06, camaros, evo's, srt's, viper(stock) etc...

350Z's i also highly doubt can hit a high 13 pass stock.
i also highly doubt that 01 cobra was spraying
me, and my friend, in my old 99 cobra, shortly after i sold it to him raced a TT 350Z, my old cars mods are CAI, catted X, catback, 4.10's, shifter, TB, UD pullies, alluminum FW, mcleod clutch, basically the 350X got the jump big time, then about 100MPH we passes it HARD, just as he was shifting again.

And to respond to your cobra statement, I've already proved that I pulled a stock cobra with boltons pretty nicely on top end. They are quick cars, but also extremely heavy.

So its not that hard to assume with me at 8-9 psi with exhaust, boost contoller, plenum spacer can pull a c5 Z06. Like I said before, go to Houstonperformancedriving.com I've raced plenty of stock and modded c5 Zo6's and have pulled both. The average stock Z06 driver at the track, does not run 119+ traps, more like 114-115.

You pulled me on top as well as I pulled you. Weight is less sigificant from a roll. I pulled him on top with a passenger in my car. We ran about 3 times and the same result happened every time.
Please explain what happened when I didnt have a passenger in the car! I pulled you and vis versa. But you still need to understand about turbo cars. My egt's where running hot, thats why I was able to pull the first couple of times with the passenger in my car. I think if I had a tune, deleted my cats and had larger injectors so I could run 140-150mph without a problem, we would have seen different results.
The cobra has a pulley upgrade, tune, exhaust, header,etc... Me on the other hand, have NO TUNE, stock injectors, stock cats, and 8psi of boost. Plus you say I make 430, in actuality I make 416rwhp and 464 torque.
The person that was following us in the Jetta knows I had a exhaust manifold leak and only had one bolt connecting my turbo to the exhaust manifold.

Im not making any excuses. The race was back and forth all night, but I was 3-0 against the cobra.
What do you mean anything else. All I needed was a tune and cat delete pipes and the outcome would have been severly different. Let me see you bolt on a turbo kit and go out there and run.

Anything else? Are you sure you didn't have your A/C on? Might want to throw that in there. Also don't forget about your "boost leak". That ones classic. Oh wait, you already used that one.
