Why Is My 03 Faster then alot of other Zs?
OK might sound dumb, but Do any of you have a factory freak motor??
I ran about 6 differnt 350z's, and I only lost to 1.
I ran two 2007 350z, with the HR, and beat them by a car n 1/2 everytime. Tried from digs, and rolls. Same result.
Ran, a friend 2006 Z with intake, exhaust, plenum spacers, and took him 2-3 cars, and was still pulling.
I have a 2003 Track model. All these were friendly races with friends I know. I wanted to see where my car stands.
Oh and I ran my friends 2001 Cobra. it still has 320hp, and he has intake, and exhaust. I was dead even with him.
My car is 100% stock.
Sorry if its in the wrong section.

and no, it's just a coincident that you beat other Zs. there is a lot of factors involved.

Just go dyno it with your friends and see how it stands up in HP. Same day every one dyno and see if it is engine . Did you buy it new? The reason I ask is I had a full port and polish on my 05 when I traded it in and the new owner will never know unless he/she has engine work done.

You are likely a better driver. What do you run, lets see some times. 20 or 30whp NA wont always equal a win in a race. Ive beaten cars with over 100WHP more than my Z because the drivers sucked at life. As far as switching cars and you still lose-that throws me off!
BTW-the days of freak motors are long gone, engines are built to tighter tolerances than back in the day.
