Who gets the checkered flag?

GreenMarine · #2 09-10-2005, 07:19 AM

The SVX because there is no such thing as a "2003 300zx".....

In all seriousness...

If you're referring to the 2003 350Z (3.5L VQ engine with 287hp/276 ft-lbs), the race wouldn't even be close. A 350Z runs the 1/4 around 13.8-14.4 depending on transmission (6spd or 5 auto) and driver. Most stock awd SVXs run the 1/4 anywhere between 15.5-16.0 (depending on options - i.e. weight).

If you're referring to a non-turbo 300ZX from '90-'96, the SVX would stand a better chance. A 5spd 300ZX runs the 1/4 in the 14.9-15.4 range depending on driver, while a 4EAT 300ZX runs the 1/4 around 15.5-16.0.

My transmission exploded on the highway, fire and brimstone everywhere! I'm currently looking for a diesel rabbit for a wvo project. Do you still have my rims? I figured you had your hands full with the fire and all. Just made me think, I told you I proably couldn't make a long distance trip.

PM me.

About the 350z

a co-worker has one, and on a "closed course" I took him, with not much effort. It seemed strange with all that HP and less weight.

No worries Michael.... I still have "your Rims".... I have been thinking though, I might run the Subaru Challenge in Maggie Valley on them to see how 18" wheels are... I would like to switch to 17's, but at the same time, I really love the way that these things look when the car is moving!!! I still have them for ya though... I just need to work out what I will do after they are gone... Definitly right there, my hands are pretty full :-/..... If ya are looking for a Diesel Rabbit, I might beable to help ya out there too

.... I was thinking about selling my Rabbit when I go fulltime in school next year.... I am just tired of cars PERIOD.... If I hadn't invested so much time and $$$$$$ into the SVX, it would have been gone about a year ago.... I know that I just want to finish school, and if that takes me selling all my posessions to do so, then so be it...

i smashed on a 2004 350 auto by one and a half car links at 125 mph and slowed to a stop (i dont think he raced to much and he just bought the car). i also got my azz handed to me by my buddys 2005 350 manual. he killed me and i think my car had some gas problems but his was fast.

Sounds like he didn't do the driver mod. I need to do that one too.

Challenging with appereance, looks and peculiarity SVX wins all the time

with any car (not only 350Z). But if you come to race, 350Z will take on you. But I remember seeing a video clip where 350Z was killed by a WRX STi, one thing that was mentioned in it is 350Z stopped pulling from 3-4 and then pulled very lees form 4-5, whereas STi took on it from 3rd gear.

But SVX will stand out in any group of cars.

The 350Z's seem to be really peaky on power, so that 280hp number is a bit deceiving.

Also, an STi should kill a 350Z. It has a better torque curve, thanks to the turbo, has AWD, and is either the same weight or lighter.

Manarius · #13 09-15-2005, 05:26 PM

I think this wrx will murder any 350z.

The figures are more impressive looking at STi than 350Z

STi - 300HP @ 6,000 rpm with 300 lb-ft @ 4,000 rpm AWD
2.5-liter DOHC 16-valve H4 SUBARU BOXER engine
3,351 lbs
350Z - 300HP @ 6,400 rpm with 260 lb-ft @ 4,800 rpm RWD
3.5-liter DOHC 24-valve V6 engine
3,328 - 3,347 lbs

Manarius -> That one is really awesome, I am also very interested in watching a video clip, if they post it.
But we dont need a car of such kind to kill 350zs, a stock STi can take it.
