A member on this site has run 10.8 (maybe less, by now) in the 1/4 with a greddy TT on the stock motor.

There are many Z's with FI and built vq35's pushing 700+whp on street driven cars.

Performance Motorsports has a 6 second "350z". Not a whole lot of it is really Z, but it does still use the vq35 block.

 

Why don't we add a turn into this race..

 

bert just ran an 11.98 at capitol on sunday,it was cold and windy as hell also,this is no bs i was running him.

 

oh i believe it, i mean he does have a turbo! That's tight, whats the weakest part in the 350z motor in terms of modding?

We just broke our n/a v6 record, 11.9 secs in the 1/4 mile no nitrous, no turbo, no supercharger, just all motor.


here is the race between our n/a 11.9 sec v6 (the green fox body, with new v6 engine put in it) and the turbo v6 (white pre 1999 with cobra front bumper). The white car has done its best run at 10.3, this run i think it said 11 flat, he just got a new set up and its hard to get used to him driving it, his best trap speed so far is 135+.

and here is the green monster on a 11.89 sec run

*Note the green fox body came with a ****ty 2.3 litre 4 banger that was pulled for a 94-2004 v6 mustang engine block. The fox body mustangs from 1986-1993 didnt have v6 options. This is one of only 2 v6 fox body mustangs that are on our forum, the other one is an old carbed one from 85.

The vast majority of our cars are 1994-2004 and ofcourse the 2005+ v6es are popping up now.

Of the non fox body 94+, i am not sure what our fastest one is n/a, they used the fox body since its a few hundred lbs lighter, but that motor is the most built v6 in our site (there are professional racers with way more hp and race only engines using the same block however), if that were in a 94-2004 body it'd probably run a mid 12 to low 12.

 

the 8 second 350Z everybody was talking about is barely even a 350Z.... but hey technically its still a 350Z...

 

true, i think the only problem you guys will face with getting a real 350z into the 8s and 9s is the aluminum block, do they make any reinforcement parts like stud girdle, forged cranks etc...?

anyone ever put the 3.5 litre 350z motor in a lighter 240Z or 300Z or something (sorry if i mix up my Zs and Xs)?

whats the bore and stroke of your motors and the 3.0 litre v6 from the 300Zs?


we also run the v6 supercoupes and regular coupe t-birds, they use essentially the same engine as the 1994-2004 mustangs, but the 99-2004 mustang v6es have better heads and intakes. The s/c's arent as impressive as the v6 mustangs, but that is if you just look at their 1/4 mile times, but they are impressive if you consider the fact that the supercoupes wegih 4k lbs compared to our 3050-3200 lbs ponies

 

lol let us mod the hell out of our suspension first! (but you guys will still probably have us in a turning race) keep in mind we are 300 lbs lighter than the v8 mustangs.

i do know the new 05+ v8 mustang was put in a competition against an audi (dont know which one, i am thinking A8), and mazda rx8. The audi won the drag race, the mustang won the COURSE RACE


i would have thought the audi would lose to the mustang on the track, and the mustang would get owned by both the mazda rx8 and audi on the course race!

 

performance inc has a drag 350z that runs 6.60s and a 10 sec street z

the link is http://www.theexperience.com/video.htm

 

Yeah there was a Z from Puerto Rico I think that ran a 10.9 I believe. Stock block TT'd.

I thought there were some NA Z's running high 12s?

 

11.7 here...but no slips... this was done in a test and tune session and it was only displayed on the board.

I'm only running test pipes, exhaust, and TT @ 100 octane only.

oh and trust me...I'm FARRRRRR from being the fastest in this area......

 

its funny how the 350Zes sound very similiar to the v6 mustangs, probably b/c we have the same firing order.

 

vq35 comes with stud girdle and 4 bolt mains stock...

 

i see, wow the site is beign slow today, i post stuff before some of the other stuff shows up.

thats nice they come with stud girldles and 4 bolt mains stock, how about the rotating assembly, are those forged rods and crank?

didnt know they had cars in puerto rico let alone a drag strip lol

 

Well, Im relatively new to this scene, with my last vehicle I had the ford 4.0, like in the 05 stangs, just the ohv version, great truck motor, just not sure about car tho. some of the 05 mustang guys should check out RPS

I dont think the 3.5 comes with anything forged stock

 

+1 that 8.33 Z was the Z i was referring to when i said there was couple of Z's doing 8s.. i think there's another one.. anyway i didn't kno there was a 6.6 Z but that is barely a Z. not too sure bout the 8 sec one tho.. didn't read up on any of them

 

yea that'd make sense since its n/a stock. Just OCASIONALY they'll throw in forged rods or something to help strengthen the motor if there is a lot of compression.

yea the 4.0 OHV motor is an american design, the 4.0 SOHC was designed in ford europe, i am not fan of the motor as i see SOHCs pointless on a V design engine without adding more valves. Also the timing chain is on the rear, and all sorts of things i dont like, more water passages etc... The 3.8 is my baby, i like it more, but then again i own one! 3.8 is OHV pushrod and is realted to the 4.0 pushrod motor. you must have had a ranger i take it or explroer from 95 or before?

There are some crazy guys working on trying to mount DOHC heads onto the 4.0 05+ v6 block, but i dont think they've been putting much effort into it.

 

yea i recently saw those super modded ones. They are Zs no doubt, but they got loads of money and big corporate sponsorship. If anyone gave two ****s about the v6 mustang then i am sure they'd be pushing them lower too, but people just dont have the will or energy to push one into that. Most of our guys are like the guys on this forum, want a fast driveable car. I personally wouldnt mind owning a 6 sec car, but if i had to pick, i'd rather have a daily driveable car that ran 9,10s, or 11s.

 

i agree but i was just saying that i kno the 6.6 sec Z isn't streetable.. but the 8.33 sec one may be streetable. if not then the 10 sec one is and we have several of those Z's. anyway, hopefully a few of the faster Z's show up at the v6 ford meets for a few friendly runs. good luck

 

yea thanks, do you guys have a timeslips page anywhere?

 

BTW the Z's crank is forged stock. So are the rods (pretty sure) but the pistons are cast. Too bad your in FL.
