Default 350z a gocart???

Ok guys help me out a little bit, On sunday I was fortunate to drive a friend of mines Ferrari 360 Modena. After that I have not been able to get as much satisfaction out of my Z, anyone every done something like this, spoiled themselves with a different car and now their baby just seems to slow?? Oh well I guess it is time to start moding.

My suggestion would be. Go take a different friends mustang for a nice long drive, then see how nice the Z feels.

Just add the twin turbos, you'll be fine.

Almost any car is going to feel like a go cart after driving a 360 Modena. Damn, I bet that was fun!

395, but the F355 still owns it in styling.

Thanks for answering the questionNismoKid.

So, if you add the TT and build up the bottom end you can get close to the feeling of the Modena is all that I'm saying.

With money, you can make anything fast. I suppose with the AEBS stroker kit and the Greddy TT, you can put out 800hp. You'd only have traction problems at that point, but it would easily take a 360 if you don't spin the tires.

800HP is a little excessive but that's my point. The 350Z is a beautiful exotic looking car and all he has to do to get that Modena feel is add a few mods and he'll also have a very fast exotic car.

For the 360 to reach 600hp, he'll have to put on a Koenig TT kit and drop about $45,000 (it includes engine internals). 0-60 would be 3.5 seconds if you don't lose traction.

The outer skin looks fine , but the engine bay looks terrible. Good researching NismKid.
