I own a 03 350z and my buddy has a 13 taurus SHO. His car makes 365 hp and a little under that in Tq. Also AWD and 4400lbs at street. I have a couple of mods, and I figure I'm pushing 315 ish for hp. But my car weighs 3100lbs at street. How much does weight factor in to a 1/4 race and who do you think would win? Thanks!

 

who cares, are you trying to compare dick sizes or something. your de is 287 at the crank so if you think you are 315 with small mods you are dreaming.

hellava first post btw

 

Jimmy crack corn and I don't care.

 

Weight factors into EVERYTHING, car wise.

That's what power:weight ratio is. Why else does a Formula Ford pushing about 120bhp at the flywheel outrun any of the cars here on this forum up to 60, 100, term. vel.?

 

Race and find out

 

My money is on the vtec

 

Maybe by lightly modded he means fully built na race engine

 

if that were the case, he wouldn't have made this pointless thread.

so cute, noob sticking up for fellow noob

 

He has a few stickers he forgot to mention maybe

 

damn, didn't think about that.... they are like 5whp each aren't they?

 

The new SHOs are no slouch. I don't think I would have a problem with my HR but no clue about a DE. It is such a big difference between the 2 engines I can't speak on behalf of the DE.

By the way, hope if you race you do it on a track. We do not support street racing on this forum.

 

op won't be back

 

For what it's worth, there is a local SHO tuned to "just under 400whp" and I haven't seen it lose to much at our track (including many 350z's). Thought I'd put this out there in an effort to somewhat be on topic - not that anyone cares lol

 

Look up published quarter times for both cars and compare. If it's close , go to drag strip and race.

 

If your car has quality boltons and a good tune I think you would be even with a stock sho and probably pull at higher speeds . Good luck

 

unless your DE is built there is no way your making 315rw

SHO will most likey pull you

 

No way OP is putting down 315

 

I can tell you who loses...humanity

 

 

True story.
