Nice Death BTW.
Damn really giving it pretty hard to Porsche drivers arent we. Porsches may not be the fastest for the money but the engineering, handling and finish on the cars are amazing, and so are the repair bills, luckly weve only had one so far

The only thing that costs more to make go fast than a Porsche is a Porsche repair bill.

Though from what I hear their repair service superb and is worth the extra price compared to having a guy used to working on a Cavalier try and fix your Z06...

That's a respectable death! It's nice to see a guy in one of those cars actually want to tach it up over 4,000 RPM! I've tried getting a bunch of guys in exotics to bite and most are just old guys that aren't interested. I guess, with that being said, I probably wouldn't want to risk tearing up a ridiculously fast $150,000 car either!

What's the RPM on that horsepower number 350znal?

Sounds like a powerful engine you have there.

The 350Z driver I usually see, one of my wife's work buddies, got bummed out when he found out the only person at his work place with a more powerful car than his actually owned (owns at the time) 3 cars more powerful than his.

Your's would be a bit more of challenge especially since I am shitty with a manual.

I just ask because I raced a SC 350Z a while back before my stall and LS6 intake. It was strong, but I prevailed up top. Link to the original post...

396@6600rpms

Good run on that old post. The stillen is a good setup for a low end kick, but not to great in the upper rpms.

Now that is respectable, I'm definately glad you didn't say 15,000 RPMs.

Nissan can make a V6 I'l definately give them that.

How much do those 350Z's weigh in after a S/C is installed?

UPDATE:

I actually ran into the owner of the Porsche today. Turns out he's like, one door down from a customer of mine. Small world, huh?

I was actually over there in my car, since my delivery driver had the work truck. He complemented me again on how much he loves how my car looks, as well as how it sounds, and the fact that it hauls ***.

It feels good to be complemented by a guy with a kick-*** exotic car.
