I know of a stock 300ZX that does 12.12 in the quarter mile. I saw it run at the track and on the street. It is sweet !!!! Well at least it has stock turbos on it. Just boosted and modded a bit. Nothing major I am told.

I can smoke a 300ZXTT all day long....been there done that, even before the upgrades to my Turbonetics kit.
Considering what the 300TT cost new, even with adjustment for inflation, you can still buy a 350 and F/I it for less and smoke the pants off the 300
Don't get me worng, I love the 300, but it's not all that given how expensive it was. And these videos **** me off because they're so unscientific.

I would guess that a decent 300ZX would likely beat a 350Z. In fact, you can probably say that about many cars out there these days. The Subaru STI WRX...even the EVO would likely take a the 350Z to name just two.
However, as my sig indicates, I went with the 350Z. Am I the fastest guy on the block? .....nah.....but then again I don't have to be.
Next time you go out for a drive in your 350Z, check out the looks.....watch the reaction other people have when you roll up to a stop light.
The ZX was a great car as was the Supra TT. That was then. This is now.
The 350Z........It looks fast. It is fast. It is...unique.
Happy Motoring

Having owned both cars I know which is faster. The 300. From a dead stop they are about even, from a roll our 350's will get smoked. If you guys are beating z32 from a roll it's just bad driving on the z32 owner. If your looking to buy a z32 the best years are from 93 to 95. I had a 92 and the year after they switch the hicas to an electronic control system that weighed allot less. Unless your going to remove the system anyway. Plus you have to remember that the z32 was really detuned; an intake,exhaust and a ecu upgrade would get you to almost 400hp and it was still basically stock. Wouldn't we love to do that to our Z33's

Interesting video, but no surprise. Once those TT are up to boast, the Z32 is a monster. The Z32 was quite the car in its day. I love to find one in mint condition; it is still an awesome car. However, comparing the Z32 vs. Z33 is the old apples vs. oranges thing. They are not the same car; the Z33 is NOT just a ‘new’ Z32.
BTW, I have seen clips of Top Gear many times. Those guys are jerks. They hate Americans and everything American. Also, for some reason they don’t like the 350Z. They gave it a bad review when it was first introduced in 2003.
Jerks...

I traded my 95 300zx N/A Ultra Red 49,000 miles for a 05 35th 350Z 6SPD. It was more cost effective to go with the new car vs dumping money into the old one with limited results. I still love the styling on the 90-96ZX. The 350Z has more upgrade parts and potential than the old 90-96ZX I'm sorry to say.

I've owned and modified both the 300ZX Twin Turbo and the 350Z. It's a complete driver's race stock for stock. However, put a few hundred dollars into both cars and what you'll have is one hell of a fast TT and a slightly quicker 350Z.
And the NA 300ZX is a slow turd.

Do you really think Nissan would admit that the 350Z was actually slower than its predecessor?

Funny thing about most of the guys on these lists is the fact that they're using their stock turbos, injectors, and ICs.
I'm about to post on twinturbo.net to see if I can find someone to help me look for a 'stock' timeslip. I'll post back if I can find one.

The N/A had a 4.083 gear ratio v.s the turbo 3.692. It was quicker through first and second gears after that the turbo dusted it. I had the slow turd up to 145mph on Rt 95 north, then I became scared and backed off.

How long did it take to get your turd up to 145? It takes a while to get the 350Z up there...and its got substantially more umph than a NA 300ZX.
