Beware of some of those 350's. I raced one with my H/C 99. It was from a 45 roll, he go the jump b/c he took off first.. I dropped to 2nd and started to pull him in but it was very slow.. I shifted to 3rd at 70.. I probably would have passed him, but the ****** broke the tires loose and came into my lane. I believe he had to be turbocharged to keep me from dog shitting on him.. then maybe sprayed it when he saw me pulling in anyways then lost it.
btw, you have some serious traction problems, and it's not from too much power if you're stock. I'm running on stock tires atm, and with full bolt ons and H/C/I, 1st is useless, and 2nd will haze them all the way through if I want to, but 3rd is going to grab.. and I'm up 150rwhp on you easy.

Not to mention the POS Nissan VQ makes the engine on my tractor engine look refined.

Unrefined or refined, the 307hp and 27x tq out of a 3.5L V6 is pretty damn good.
sucks that you gotta use FI to make them go fast. id rather get a 500 kit of juice, and counter their 3 grand or more setup.
but good kill. i havent raced an 07 yet, although i would love to take from from a 20 punch
tq conveter awwww

I see you dont know to much about the VQ motor. The heads on that car, flow more than any Japanese car to date. How many cars can make 450rwhp an average in addtion to more torque at 8psi? No supra or skyline for that matter can. If the 07 are slow as ****, than the ls1 is pathetic!

What do you consider slow as dog **** exactly? Stock, 03-06 350zs ran a tad ahead of the 99-04 mustang GTs. Stock, 07 350zs run a little slower than LS1s/little faster than 05+ mustang GTs. And with FI or nitrous, obviously power increases. It's quite ignorant to say a car is slow as dog **** without knowing anything about them.

Actually its more than just 20 hp. Its a totally different motor alltogether, with no interchangeable parts. The power increase is throughtout the whole powerband. With a more linear curve and an increased redline, has enabled the 07's to hit 13.2 at 106mph.

Its rated at 307HP..being that its an odd number like that, its probably SAE certified HP. Therefore its not going to make any more than the actual 307HP. How is it a totally different motor?? Its still a trash compactor on steroids "VQ", thats would be like saying a 96 Mustang GT and an 04 Mustang GT have totally different motors.
The Evo was a blast because I had never really driven a turbo car before, and I loved the feel of that thing spooling up and sucking me back into the seat; definitely a completely different feel from the way my Z28 makes power.
I did think it felt a little cheap inside. Certain things felt flimsy to me if I remember correctly, which I wouldn't normally care about except for the fact that the car costs over $30,000. Not saying I wouldn't gladly drive one again, though.

There is nothing wrong with my car lol. It traps over 120mph. This 350Z I ran into was not stock.. and yes, they can be fast with forced induction, which this one had to be, even possibly sprayed on top of it. How many 350Z's do you know that are spinning so bad at 70+mph that they slide into your lane like the one I mentioned? Try reading a little bit before opening your mouth.
Oh well, wasn't an 07'....
What's different from an 06' Nismo 350z?
I raced a new 06' Nismo w/ intake from 70-135 and put what looked like 5+ cars on him. And he refused to go from a stop when we stopped and talked. The 07' probably would be pretty damn similar in the triple digit mph and suffer a similar fate.
Good kill OP.

Thats cool, i've never drivin a turbo car before, besides my bro's '98 dodge cummins. its a pretty quick truck though... it runs 13's and thats lifted a good bit with 37'' toyo mud terrains. but i love the sound of the turbo spooling and the cloud of black smoke bellowing out of his exhaust
its tight lol Teching In

The 07s are .3 seconds quicker in the 1/4 mile than the 03-06s.

Naa, we popped the hood when we pulled over to chat. He had a aftermarket intake. The 350z had the nismo package, which I'm guessing is brakes/suspension, maybe different wheels? Whatever the case I was hoping it was an 07'.

Going from a 14.0 to a 11 flat?? Hahaha, wow.
That would make them 11 sec cars huh? 07 Zs are alot quicker than the earlier ones but still not ls1 status yet, they are about on par with a 3valve. I have driven many 350Zs and the 07 engine is way better, it has a stronger midrange and top-end that is noticeable.
What are you talking about. Do you not understand that the new 07's use twin throttle bodies, have a higher redline, stronger block and slightly higher compression? They trap anywhere from 102-106mph. So let me get this straight. They can run low 13's (high 12's stock on drag radials), yet they're slow compared to ls1's? Another point I would like to add is, the engine code is totally different. 03-06's were VQ35de and the 07's are HR
