Ok, what's going to take to hunt 350 z's and kill them?

1) Bone stock Z

2) A Z with intake and exhaust


Do you think we have a chance to kill them with intake and exhaust mods only on the 8?

Statistically were pretty close now.

 

nope u dont have a chance

 

Put lead in the trunk, or water in the gas tank of the 350z. Then you may have a 50/50 chance.

 

You are speaking of a drag correct? :D

 

lol why is everything about straight line? On a road course it depends on driver, but a slight edge to the 8

 

Go out to a tight technical course. If you are doing straight drag, or a track with long straights you are dead.

 

I can keep up with em on a track with long straight, you just need to make up a ton of room on the brakes and turns

 

i'm just waiting for someone to reply: "you can take them in the twisties!"

that's so obviously not what people who start these threads are looking for....they want stoplight killers.

 

Simple and quick answer. FI.

 

you can whoop the 5 speed AT Z owners!

 

Lol, u guys have funny reply.
Oh, can we beat rsx-s and eclipse or 330 ci in straight line?

 

i'll race you in a stright line. I'll be wearing my black new balances, or maybe my puma's!

 

If you are a decent driver. The 330 may be more of a challenge.

 

take a giant acme rubber band put it around the light post and slowly back up into then hold the brakes and wait for a z to come by i dont think i would even bother with the engine just kick it neutral and sling shot your way to glory

 

The 05' rxs-S have stock Type-R pistons , exhaust, and if im not mistaking the Final drive is the same as the type-R

The 05 doesnt use the same K20A2 engine it uses the K20Z1 engine now on the 05s

basicly the new rsx-s w/ I/RH/EX can beat stocks s2ks..


put some IPS K2 Cams on it and Hondata K-pro and a flywheel...you have a very very quick RSX..


I wanted that car so bad untill i found the insurance was going to rape my ***...

 

i honestly have never had any problems with the rsx-s, don't know why, but its the truth. On a track of course

 

never had a problem with 330ci's on a straight line... highway rolling starts or off the lines.

 

we've never had problems beating the RSX-S so far. ive definitely never killed one, but ive always finished ahead.

barely lost to the 06 eclipse, and lost by a few car lengths to the 350z.

 

An 06 Eclipse? Really? Perhapos my memory is wrong, but aren't they slower than the previous gen, and those only had like a 6.5 0-60 IIRC..?

 

Last track day there was 3 rsx-s, 3 wrx, 1 m3, 1 z4, none of which could keep up, but it was a tight track and I was running R compounds. I have run into a 350z on the track before. He was faster on the straights but I would catch him in the turns. Almost identical lap times.

 

They have 260hp and I think 260tq. Its a pig of a car, but with that power it is relatively quick.

 

I think you make a mistake about hunting 350Z's. You assume that people in stock Z's are going to want to "race you". People don't want to race you unless they feel they have an advantage over you...which means they're going to either be pushing a turbo/supercharger, or heavy NA mods.

You'd need a greedy turbo'd, dyno tuned, with one of the new X ecu thingy's to have a chance in your stoplight battles. Even then, if the Z is supercharged, its going to leave you in the dust. (Low end torque slaughters all in stoplight battles).

 

If you want to stomp 350Z's no matter what mods they have, you might want to start working on the world's first LS2 conversion. An LS2/T56 from a wrecked 2005 GTO would probably run you the same money as a decent turbo kit, especially if you can ebay your old drivetrain. You'd just have a tad more fabrication to do.

 

88 Crx K20 Type R Jackson Racing Supercharger...its Over

 

Didn't know the 350 was that much faster, but I knew I could not beat one. I have a Blue one around here that tries to race me all the time, but I don't feel like losing. I am saving for a Greddy Turbo and then I'll give him a go. Does anyone have times for a full bolt-on RX-8, I/Ex/HiFlowCat/Flywhl/Pullies?
