2001 GT vs. 2004 nissan 350z

[mity2]

near stock(Kaaz LSD, JWT flywheel,Toyot Proxes T1-S) 350z ran 14.00@1/4mile and 101.4mph and 5.8sec 0-60mph in Sprotcompact car issue few month back.
they put out 278hp, which is more then GT for sure, but only has 274ft-lb of torque.
Both GT and 350Z shows almost flat torque curve. given the fact they are both similer in weight, even tho one is putting more hp then other, I want to say more torque would make almost identical in actual accelation.
So in the end, I guess it would be drivers race

I hope not, with that boosted GT.

There was a this scit on The Dave Chappelle Show were he had Charlie Murphy ( Eddie Murphy's bro) come in and tell this story about Rick James, who also came in, any way in the re telling of the story they did flash backs and Dave Chappelle played Rick James from back in the day, and he kept saying throughout the scit "I'm Rick James Beeeeatch!!!!!"

Anyhoo It was freakin' hilarious and has kinda worked it's way into the local slang down here.

The 350z will get If you can drive.

one my friends buddies has a new z. He runs 14.1 14.2 s. So as long as you can drive it should be close. Or you should beat him. Its going to depend on the driver. HTey are hevier. And have less tourqe. So get him of the line and keep it to the floor.

They're about the same weight if not lighter... And they only have about 15 lbs less of torque. Not too much.

i would put some gears in some dr's and practice practice practice

 

[ToplessStang]

Since I own both here is my unbiased opinion. I didn't have it when my stang was stock, so I don't have any back to back runs both stock. But the Z has an outrageously steep rear gear and transmission gearing. I guess it's equal to about a 4.10 in the stang. 6th gear in my Z is the same as 4th gear in my mustang and I have stock 3.27 gears,by that I mean the speed at a set mph is the same rpm in both cars (6th in Z, 4th in stang). So the Z definetly feels faster than a stock stang. But overall I think its close, but If I was driving both cars I think I would be faster in the Z. Like others have said it's really a drivers race, if you drove both cars I think you would probably agree that the Z probably has a slight edge. If the mustang was allowed an equal rear gear, it would probably even it out about exactly. It's not far behind on torque and it's got 27 more hp than a stock stang. But to be fair I don't think these cars can be judged as being in the same field. The Z just inspires confidence on the back roads. It handles like nothing I have drove before. My wife can walk off and leave me on the backroads and my stang has 400rwhp and eibach sportline springs, konis, front strut tower brace, 265/35ZR18 BFG G-Force tires, and the Z is bone stock. But the mustang is definetly a better strip/street car. With the independent rear end in the Z if I launch hard at all it wheel hops so bad it feels like the cars is coming apart. For me the Z doesn't really needed to be modded, it's a high dollar car that is good out of the box and just needs to be driven. It's a great 2 person road trip car, it's got great power, excellent gearing in the transmission, it's superstable at high interstate speeds and is very quiet plus It's a terror on the backroads, it feels like it's on rails.

My cousin owns one and I've driven it. Carl is right on the money with his comments. Only one thing I disagree with. At interstate speeds it's a hell of a lot louder inside (road noise) than my Vert with the top up. And no his tires aren't feathered yet .

I saw those skits and they are funny as ****. I love the part when Rick James asks Charlie Murphy what the five fingers said to the face....SLAP! then slaps him. That was the funniest thing I ever saw. That one and "Is Wayne Brady gonna have to choke a b*tch??" That was pretty good too.

drivers race. I beat the 350z by a .2 in the 1/4 every time and all i had was a bassani cat back, k&n filter, and tri ax. They catch up in the middle and end. Dont sleep on them they car quick all the kid had was an intake
