Nice, I have a bunch of friends with 350z's, how much power does it put down and any internal engine mods?

If they are anything like the stock manifolds on a C6 then, yes, you will pick up hp. Not to mention the hp that you will gain after the tune with a set of long tubes, x and catback.

Yah, the pull was insane on the car. It seemed like I kept up for a split second and then he was gone. Hopefully the KB 2.6 cures that

There's like 5 or 6 around here, but we're a big military town and all these kids have no bills and go buy crazy cars with their bonus's. Haven't run one yet but I'm dying to!!

Yea I cant wait to run one as well..but i know Ill get waxed...

99 rt 10 Viper..best mag time is 11.9 at 120

2006 C6Z06...best mag time is 11.5 at 127

120 vrs 127...Freakin 7 mph differance in trapp speed...That would be like a 350Z that trapps 101 mph racing a c5 Corvette that trapps 108 mph..No contest...

But it will still be kool to see a car that fast in motion....Maybe he'll miss a shift and Ill finsih up only one car behind...LOL...

About two weeks ago I saw about 3 C6Z06's on the highways of NJ, And then I saw one two days ago( Yellow,competion grey rims) its kind of weird because when ever im in the C6 i see a lot of vettes cruising around, but when im in my bros GTO i see only v6mustangs -_- n a couple of boring riced out imports. (Nice death too.)

He heard me and looked over and downshifted and so did I knowing I was going to get my *** handed to me but I just wanted to see what his car can do. Well I jump on it and he does to and he pulls like I'm standing still. Well we eventually pull over at a gas station and talk. His car had only a intake and tune and was making 485rwhp and 461rwtq . He said he was going to put some Kook's 1 7/8" headers and a full exhaust on it soon and just keep it like that. I then told him I was getting a KB 2.6 on my Cobra soon and prolly be pushing around 23-25 psi and he told me that it should be a beast. Well we exchanged numbers and went on our ways. Man that car was sick though.
Everybody knows the C6 Z is a slow POS!

The new Z06 is crazy fast, I was given the chance to test drive one and was SOOO tempted not to give it back
