We all know the threads.... but why is the exact number of 300hp chosen for mods?

What does 300hp have to do with a 350z?
Why not a quarter mile time? Why not 350hp? 308? 333?

cause with 300hp you get to drag your nuts across any scion TC owning ***** you come acrooss

I always thought people always wanted the 350Z to make 350whp to match it's name.

NissanZguy

Allot of people also dont know why the Z has the numbers it has, its funny. 370z = 3.7L 350z = 3.5L 300zx = 3.0L 280z = You get the point. Kingbaby had it right though, its the first hp milestone for these cars.

Neimad

And for ten points name the only Z to have more horsepower than its centiliter measurement of displacement.

the 2000's were all about 300hp. 300hp aint s#!t for 2010+ cars. its all about 400+ these days. new camaro and stangs make that stock. the corvette makes 750 stock now lol.

NissanZguy

750? you sure about that? Pretty sure base model C7 is still under 500hp

Me and my friend were joking about this the other day since they keep increasing the engine sizes like sony keeps making new play stations. 380Z, 420Z, 440Z, I wonder what's next. They can't keep increasing the engine size or else they'll take the sports car characteristics away of the car and it will be more like a Japanese muscle car. They need to stop the foreplay and start going ***** deep by bringing the twin turbos back.

NissanZguy

Hell yeah, they definatley need bring boost back to the Z. One problem, it will cut into the sales of the GTR. Based on that I dont think Nissan has any plans to add turbos to the Z but its damn good idea.

zr1 is 638 stock on low psi on the supercharger. they do 750 with a tune from the factory when you buy it, if you want. i also witnessed a stock 2012 supercharged lingenfelter edition camaro do right at 750 on a dyno.

Im not too sure. Even though you are correct about Nissan not wanting to bring turbo's back on the Z's. Im guessing they wouldnt conflict with sales too much as the GTR is in a different league than the Z.. A person buying a Z isn't necessarily going to be able to purchase GTR.. Just my .02

HP to the crank doesn't matter, it's all about what gets to the wheels.

NissanZguy

True, I think what would be cooler is if Nissan provided the GTR motor as a option for the new Z's. Special Editions like 370R or somthin, GTR power + rwd = fat smile on my face. Wishful thinking, I know. I wasn't doubting those numbers when modified. I was doubting those numbers for stock base models, and I was righ
