Default Trans-Am vs C6

I was cruising around after getting my bottle filled enjoying the nice weather when I see a C6 vert up ahead on the freeway. I pulled up even with him shot him a rev and it was on! We started at about 75 and ended at 135ish with him 1.5-2 cars ahead. The crazy thing about it was that it had the whooshing sound of a turbo to it and it sounded badass! I was spraying and was quite surprised when he was still walking away from me, awesome car though.

Well I then got off the freeway just to find a poor 5.0 to make myself feel better. After I killed it I found a 300zx tt to lay to rest. Those were without juice. Not to bad for a Sunday afternoon IMO.

I was going to dyno on Saturday but I couldn't get my bottle filled in time so i'm not sure what kind of power I make. It sure was a suprise to me but still awesome to get beat down by such a beatiful machine!

That's what a window switch is for, so if you go above the programmed rpm, the nitrous shuts off. If I was running an M6 (without powershifting) I would also hook up a clutch switch so you had no nitrous with the clutch in. Or you can do it with TPS position. Check out the Nitrous NX Maximizer II nitrous controller - it has all that stuff.

It's fun, it activates upon full throttle and seems to be working great, but then i've only had it 2 weeks.

Dude, that Vette wasn't stock if he beat you car with your mods. I can eat the *** off of a stock C6 with my Z car. I have beaten 2 Z06's, but not as bad as a stock C6.

You said you also laid waste to a 300Z twin Turbo too right? You gotta tell me that the 300Z gave you a better run than the C6 right? Cause a Twin Turbo'd 300Z is a pretty mean little bastard, and I'd have to bet that the 300Z with the TT's could outrun a stock C6!

You need to get yourself at least an LS6 Intake or a nice Cam in that thing. Then, go find that C6 again and school him!

Good runs though....Kudos!

The 300z sounded like a auto and he had at least an exhaust. I didn't spray him and still easily walked him.

And a stock 300zx TT won't outrun a c6, hell not even a c5 stock for stock.

Dude, your dreaming. A 300zx tt is a joke. They did pretty good against cars in their time, but are a pos now. Total rice. No way in hell a 300zx is beating a C6 stock for stock in any form of racing, trust me. Same goes for a C5. A stock 300zx tt is comparable to C4's.

Yeah I meant TT 300ZX's. They came stock with them and only had maybe 300hp? And weigh quite a bit more than C6's.

You might be the one dreaming....Torque wrench has a point. My brother has a 1990 300Z TT. When he had 15 psi and exhaust he walked a C5 by like two cars on the freeway. With basic bolt ons you can easily get 420 horse on those cars cause thats what he dyno'd at when it was exhaust, pullies, chip, and a few other things.

Stock for stock with a C6 and a TT 300ZX it would be a good fight on the freeway IMO. From a stop I will say the C6 would have it.

they came with 300 hp manual or 280 hp in auto . they can run better than what their known for on the magazines but not much. ive heard of a few 300zx tt's that have run 13.1 to 13.4 range but i havent seen it. and the cars i have witness didnt come close to that.

me stock i ran 13.5@105 and i from 2 cars back at 30 mph roll pulled past a 1994 300zx tt manual till about 110 i had about 2 cars on him. he was compltely stock. this was back in 2002 stationed at the same base as me.

ive only seen a couple Stock for all i could tell 300zx tt's run at the track and they all ran 13.7 to and a 14.2 range around 100-104mph.

a 300zx tt is no match for any version c6. if both are stock.


300zx TT
300HP@6400 rpm
280TQ@3600 rpm
Final Drive 3.69:1
1st Gear Ratio 3.21:1
2nd Gear Ratio 1.93:1
3rd Gear Ratio 1.30:1
4th Gear Ratio 1.00:1
5th Gear Ratio 0.75:1

Top Speed 155.0 mph / 249.4 kph
0 - 30 mph 2.0 seconds
0 - 60 mph 5.5 seconds
0 - 100 mph 14.6 seconds
0 - ¼ mile 14.1 seconds

yea i know its magazine times. majority of all the magazines have the 300zx a Bottom 14 sec car to a mid high 13 sec car.

I personally have never seen one of these 100% "stock" 300zx tt actually run a 13.1 flat time like some of them claim has been done.


Curb weight-3500 lbs in TT form. YES HEAVIER THAN A C6 and heavier than us lol

they were though Very technologically advanced for their time. and thats also what caused their downfall expensive to make

300ZX Turbo, which came only in 2-seater form. Equipped with twin turbochargers and twin intercoolers (one set for each cylinder bank), the four-cam, 24-valve 3.0-liter engine developed 300 horsepower with 5-speed manual shift, or 280 horsepower when fitted with a 4-speed automatic transmission. Automatic also was available with the less-powerful engine. Turbos had intercooler inlets in the front air dam, a rear spoiler, Z-rated tires, and super HICAS (High Capacity Actively Controlled Steering) 4-wheel steering.


nice cars though. but HORRIBLE gas mileage
