Hmm, lots of Kiwi bashing going on in this thread. For those of you who don't know Steve Millen is a Kiwi, and obviously still proud of the fact given he comes back to NZ pretty often & even has a slight Kiwi internation to his voice still. He was here a month ago for the Targa Rally in which he competed using a F40. Now I would just about guarantee none of you on this thread have met Steve in person. He is extremely knowledgeable when you talk to him and a really laid back guy. And given he does drive such powerful modded cars, yes, a stock 350 is probably a pretty boring drive in comparison.

I've personally driven a whole lot of different cars, owned and sold cars that are way more powerful and handle incredibly in comparison to a 350. But then it's all relative to what you have driven.

You might also be interested to know Steve still owns the first zed he purchased.

 

Met him, I'm his love child

 

 

Roots blowers are not the way to go to make peak power or have the fastest 1/4 mile car. But for a completely street driven car I dont think there is anything better.

 

He said at first he thought the Z was slow but then they added a SC and better brakes and now its a lot quicker, safer braking and handles a lot better. Hmmm ??? I guess I better get me a SC and better brakes to improve my handling.

 

The SC whine, drowns out the SO whine, that's saying that you're driving too fast.

 

Huh?

Opinions on what he said, have nothing to do with where he was born.

 

Hehe, of course. My brother went to school with Rhys (his son) as well. Got to look out for your fellow/ette countrymen.

 

yes, at wot our cars turn the a/c off.

 

but true

 

I hate the stillen SC for the fact that you need the ugly stillen hood to fit the SC..damn

 

I like the sound of the supercharger, .

 

Still, i think the SC is the fastest bolt-on on the 350z. Right?

 

not the stillen. check out the F/I section. and no F/I application is just "bolt-on"

 

umm yea hes is, and its not WOT its at a preset rpms, keeps the compresser from going BOOM

 

You can get a warranty with the Stillen - that is what turned some people on. But the added cost of the hood - and the ugliness - is what turned some people off.

I considered it, the cost of kit plus hood plus paint made my TT kit cheaper. So I said to meself, screw stillen.

 

Let's forget about the hood for a sec, there's a Babes of Sema Video on the Homepage!!!
