BMW M3 333hp
BMW M3 CSL 360hp
Porche GT3 380hp
Acura RL 300hp
G35 Coupe 298hp
05 Track 350 300hp

Man there are many more older Porche, Benz, BMW cars that have over 300hp from the factory.
There is 4 for you since you couldn't think of ONE.

That is all I can think of right now, there might be more. The NSX iand the Z are the only v-6, but I just added the rest for reference.
Thank you... I posted mine before reading this one. And there are more but this proves my point

The BMWs and Porsche are I6s not V6s. So far the highest rated v6 engine I can think of is the VQ and thats right around 300. I have yet to see 400 hp n/a v6

From the factory you probably wont, just b/c they would have to dump so much money into making it that it would be cheaper to go FI or V8.

The new RL motor is 300.

Not to even mention that the CSL is such a limited production car that it's not even up for consideration, but much of the other cars are just out of the class of a Z. The nearest price point is the regular M3.

I also don't consider just crossing into the 300 range as "300-400 hp." Sans the G35 becuase it is the same VQ motor as the Z, I had already pointed out the M3 motor, and as mentioned most of those motors are I6s and Flat 6s for the Porsche not V6s I'd say your list has dwindled to only be the M3 as an option and the RL. Even the NSX, S, S.Zero and, R cars aren't beyond 300.

If the new NSX still using a V-6 I am sure it will be between the 300-400hp category.

yes, the price of the 97-98 supras dropped down in price significantly. Yet today if the car is clean it will sell for what it sold for new.

That would be such a nice investment. like 8 years and your car doesn't depreciate. Maybe they should make a movie with the Z. I'd love to sell my 80k miles well-kept Z in 8 years for the price I bought it for. Hell, I'd sell it for a few thousand less. HAHA.

I think the E46 M3, and NSX are the most notable N/A 6 cylinders. Peronally, I like high rev N/A's better than turbos. I think the new Porsche Carrera 3.8L H-6 and the existing Ferrari 3.6 V8 Modena have some of the best engines on the market. The E46 M3 definitely has the best for the money.

The car was priced damn high before the movie, but the movie did help a little. However 1 big difference, less than 12k MKIV supras are in the US that includes NA and TT models. Thats why people are so willing to pay top dollar for a clean supra, because the majority of the supras out there are beaten to **** with high miles and ugly *** bodykits. The low mileage 95 Hardtop TT's (any color) and 97-98 TT 6spd (silver, blue) will get the most money.

Btw I sold my car for the same price that I bought it for 3 years later

That may be true, but anyone can change there motors. Im saying on stock internals the supra is a sick car. U spend 2 grand on a supra u can get 500 horse u spend that much on a z u can get about 330 thats a huge difference. The supra is just a better car to mod than the z by far get over it.

The fact that it can hndle boost better than practically any car. on oem parts it can handle 35psi of boost. Guys of 900-1000 horse on stock internals. the z may have looked fast in the race but in reality the supras were faster. SOunds crazy but there are multipe reasons y all te supras that the zin the vid raceed are faster. First off the races were to short and the distance didnt give the supras turbo room to open up. Second off u can see towards the end of the race the supra pulls very hard on the z. Single trubo supra=600-1000 hp tt z=400-500 hp

Well obviously u dont no the supras potential compared to the cars u just mentioned. M3 is the most expensive to work with next to the ferrarii which is more looks than speed- high proced with not enough power to back it up. The supras were built to be modded and can handle 35psi of boost on stock internals. Lets ee if a bimmer or ferrarii can do taht.

Thanks, but I dont need to get over anything, considering I am familiar with the supra engine and its capabilites. I have already stated that the supra engine is stronger and can provide more HP for the dollar. All I said about the Z engine is a built block does wounders to the motor for FI. So thanks.

First off this Z is Charles' and he dynoed at 467whp on a Stock motor. The supras did overpower the Z considering they had single turbo setups. Also, the Z had drag radials.
