Default 370z vs ls1 dragstrip

not my Z but figured id post it just to show the Z's run pretty good with some boltons.

DA was 2101
he posted a 12.9
mods Stillen u/d pulley;CAI,flywheel, 4.08 gears.
oh and stock 245 tires. he pulled a 1.9 60ft.

no clue on the TA maybe its someone on here who didnt want to talk about it since they lost. but it at minimum had exhaust.

Haha, I personally have no problem with the thread, but there's no way this doesn't turn into a **** storm.

10 year old catback LS1 vs new modded 370z..

How about we do a STOCK 2010 camaro vs a 370z?

Or.. better yet, let's put 3 big *** people in the 2010 Camaro to handicap it and see what happens.

I think its pretty cool that most of the performance V6's make more power than most V8's did 10 years ago. Nothing wrong with advancing technology, we just benefit from it. Look at fords new V6, makes the same power last years V8 did.

I agree and disagree... You look at the new 370Z and compare it to an fbody.. Put full exhaust/intake/tune on them both and the gap will be greatly different. Not just because of the displacement but because of how well the stock parts are for the v6 cars already to be able to make those numbers. Where as the fbody got kind of **** on from the factory.
Either way, impressive.

That was the worst video ever, not because an f body lost but because we see two cars launch and they fade off into the sunset.

Surprisingly the 370Z responds quite well to basic mods...many people are seeing 30-40+WHP gains from just intake/exhaust/tune. Overall, yes the LS1 will respond better to mods mostly due to its displacement advantage.

No doubt... But, full exhaust on an fbody can see 30Rwhp.. Intake/lid (depending on whether you initially had ls1 or ls6) can be up to 25Rwhp.. Tune 5-15Rwhp.

You can definitely pick up more or less depending on the car and which route you take.. But most cars don't keep up with LsX platforms once the modding begins if they were close or neck and neck in stock trim.

bolton Zs run 12.7 to 12.9@110-112mph. ive seen Plenty of bolt on ls1s itnake,headers,exhaust,tune runs the exact same times. its just funny how some people are so hard header and egotistical and refuse to accept that a car that isnt an ls series can beat a ta or camaro.

Are you saying I don't think that? Many 370Zs have ran quicker/faster times than many fbodys.. I'm sure the overall faster/quicker time goes to the body and probably on average as well. But the 370Z is definitely a contender.

An fbody with full bolt ons and a tune should run solid mid 12s @ 112+..

You can't tell me that a car tuned/modded that well from the factory with the displacement it has and being NA can keep up after the modding begins. Just won't happen.

Regardless the 370 is impressive.

oh i know. displacement always will win. it always has the most potential. but looks at Paint_it_black. a perfect example of a douche who refuses to give props to a little 3.7 litre engine that mod for mod in basic boltons is producing the same gains. i had a ls1. i know what they can and cant do.
