How much more hp does the 350Z need?
The hp war is on. Every manufacture seems to be increasing the hp of their cars. 300hp use to seem like alot of hp but many other cars are exceeding the performance of the 350Z.
I bought my 350Z in 2003 and the market has changed since then. How much hp would it take for the 350Z to be competitive with the newer cars?

Stock Z beats about 90% of the cars on the road. I never even had a chance to step on the throttle in months. HP is more in the mind, cuz in reality, it's already fast enough.

HP must matter to you, otherwise you did not need to mod your Z or buy a skyline right?

The Z doesn't need more HP, what it needs is a new chasis that is lighter. I would love to have the 350Z wiegh 2,700 to 2,800 pounds instead of having another 30 HP.
You can modify the 350Z to get another 30HP, but it's harder to get the 350Z from 3,200 down to 2,700-2,800 pounds.

honestly, how many times to you race or drive FAST?
The whole HP war is mostly on paper... I wonder how many new Z06 owners will come close to using only 50% of the cars full potential?

Interesting, a number of you say the hp is fine. My question then is why are many of you modifying your Z's to get more hp (and it cost a lot to get a small amount of hp out our motors) if the hp is fine?
