Haha, I was thinking the same thing when I found out the Solstice GXP's and Sky Redlines are like $30K

Hmm...Solstice or G8?...tough decision

He hung pretty good with you on the second race vid.

ls1freak33 · 11-03-2009, 06:16 PM

nice kill

1fstgtp · 11-03-2009, 07:30 PM

I had only owned/ridden in torquey cars and when i rode in my rich friends brand spankin' new NISMO 370z and when he got on it, i was like "... um... that was full throttle?"
since then i just cant understand why anyone would want to build a car with 100 more HP than TQ...

I almost feel sorry for the guy.

Car starts at $30k, so it's actually a fantastic sports car deal. And as for building a car with more horsepower than torque, ANY motor that breathes well up in the 7-8k rpm range will have more horsepower than torque. The the better breathing/higher you go, the more the defecit will be. That applies to 4cyls, V6s, V8s, whatever. Good kill OP, not surprised at all that with semi-equal mods the LS1 came out on top

Sticks n Stones · 11-03-2009, 11:58 PM

Those 370Z's are a beast on a twisty road or race track. Takes a well driven C6 to keep up with one on a tighter track I've heard from a few of the local track guys.

Also saw a video done by Top Gear? where the host and a professional driver both took two laps in the 370Z then the GT-R: Familiarization lap then all out. It was a test to see which was easier to drive for drivers who had never driven either one. The pro was able to just barely set the best time with the GT-R: though his 370Z times were only a second or so slower. The host had better times in the Z. The caveat was that the pro said if he had a full day to learn each car the GT-R would get faster while he felt the Z was close to the best it would get.

Just don't tell the idiot owners because they are no doubt already thinning out there genetic gene pool fast enough as it is.

The Nismo edition gets some engine vibration dampers to address the NVH that everyone knows about except for owner/fanboys.

If the oil temp. situation is resolved, it really is a great car for track days, just not dragstrip days...

Z33Option · 11-04-2009, 08:00 AM

I haven't seen the vid yet but good kill I guess. What's your car running op? I know 370z's with bolt ons and gears are trapping in the 110 range so I guess your car is around there.

Yea cause your 8.40's are fast. I've touched mid 8's on a stock 07.

This.

Stock vs. Stock their very close...bolt on 370Zs will walk a stock LS1. But mod for mod the LS1 will easily beat 370Zs....

Yeah the 370Zs are responding much better to mods then the 350Zs did but they still don't respond to mods like an LS1 does...

I'll never understand the kids who keep buying new Zs with the purpose of drag racing them.
They'll learn otherwise some day.
