not bad...8:23 for the Z

wee beat the GTR and GTR V-Spec, S2000, 2000 model M5, 996 Carrera, C5 vette, a host of Bimmers, and an F355 GTS

 

this car is a beast on the track stock! hhaha what does the NSX run?

 

Looks like 8:26 to me? Am I reading wrong?

 

That's amazing, of the unmodified cars only Evo and WRX STi are faster than 350z and cheaper

 

Do you want a "10" in the looks department with a 9 in performance or a 5 in looks dept. with a 10 in performance? This will detrmine if you want to own a 350Z or a Evo/WRX STi

 

Wow, the NSX didn't even come close to the 350Z's lap time. I saw this list before but never realized how far down the NSX is compared to the 350Z's lap time. 8 seconds apart is a big difference. Even the Volkswagen Golf R32 beat it's time.

 

NSX only looks nice and unique.. its blah, unless its modded..wit a wide body and at least a COMPTECH supercharger....

 

Having driven a race-prepped NSX, I can report that it was a fun, but twitchy ride. The mid-engine layout and setup on that car made the rear the first to go. It wasn't very progressive either- you could feel the rear tires developing a slight slip angle and then you had to be ready to catch it! The race prepped 3.0 liter V-6 was both powerful and tractable. You just couldn't put the power down easily, especially in a high speed sweeper.

It's no wonder that it was a handful at the 'Ring!

Makes me proud to own a Z

 

all the times I've seen for a 996 are 8:17

 

The NSX came with skinny bicycle tires. That's why it's so hard for it to perform well. As for the Z, this is why I refuse to "upgrade" my suspension. I really don't think that those aftermarket spring mfgrs really know what effect stiffer and little bit lower will do to a Z. The 'Ring is full of bumps and other types of uneven surfaces, so one of the keys to running fast lap times is to have suspension that really works. On smooth pavement, the stiffer the better, but that only means you're making your tires work harder because your suspension isn't doing anything for handling.

 

I thought the S2k would have a similar time to the Z. What happened there?

 

reality checked in

 

Long straights = horsepower exhibition

 

As, soo desu ka... I've never seen the layout of the track before. I always figured it was a track with a lot of twisties. I'll look at the Nürburgring course when I get home.

 

Mavtais what are your talking about the Nürburg track consists almost entirely of twisties very few long straights.

 

I think what he meant to say is that the s2000 lost all that time in the straight aways. If not, then I have no idea what he is talking about.

 

Can someone confirm this as the Nürburgring layout? If this is correct, it's one hell of a course, some of those bends must be crazy to go through.

 

Is this a US Version 350 or JDM?
