The current Z4m is already much faster than the 350Z which is already slower than the regular Z4 3.0SI. Hopefully the the hp gain and weight loss, the 370Z will at least be equal to the Z4M.

 

I wouldn't say "much" faster. it's 0-60 is a little better, but the 1/4 mile is about the same. I'm only comparing the '07-'08 Z's with the HR. the 370z should definetely be faster

 

07z slower than 3.0si? first time I hear... isnt the 3.0 a low 14s car with 255hp?

 

+1

 

I raced a E46 M3 which is neck in neck with the Z4M and I took him on all three runs. Right of the bat he pulled but by 45-50 I creped away.

 

bench racing. there is no way to tell until the car actually comes out /thread

 

lol at bench racing...

 

This is a useless thread.The car isn't even out yet nor does anyone know the exact specs of the 370z

 

+1 well said champ!

 

I mean on the track where the Z4M would be quite quicker. The top gear guy was able to get 1:26 sec in the Z4M while the 350Z was in the 1:31 range.

 

ohhh no...... Bench racing FTL.. better to wait till the actual car comes out

 

Let us gain knowledge..

Keep in mind that was a Z equipped with the DE. I continue to be astonished with the HR's ability to put up some rather phenomenal numbers compared to the DE.

Let us assume the rumors are factual for a minute. 3000-3100 pounds, revised platform and a 3.7 HR should make the Z a quite killer car on the Top Gear test track.

 

I would say the new Camaro SS will win

 

I wish the new people who join this forum would stop posting these threads...It's really getting old seeing these "What If" or "How much faster" threads popping up left and right and the OP usually has a post count under 20...

Besides, I don't see why it matters. On the Z boards everyone will say the Z and on the BMW forums everyone will say the Z4M, so what difference does it make. Buy both and compare then sell the slower of the two, problem solved.

 

Oh my ****ing God.

Let's jump in our magical time machines, leap a year into the future, race them, then come back and report.

Do you expect people to pull numbers out their asses when the numbers don't exist, let alone one of the cars?

PS: The HR'd Z will stomp a mudhole in a Z4.

 

Quickest time I've seen for the Z4 M Coupe is a 13.2@105. Z wins so far.

 

That other car that they are going to make is faster.

If you are going to compare the M coupe vs. the 370z be fair and compare the new M coupe that is supposed to be coming in the next year or so. Haven't heard too much about it other than a retractable hard top but it should get a hp increase as well.

 

And one version of the new Z4 will also have a V8. I'm guessing it will be the M and will be quite fast.

I don't really care about that unless i'm on a track. A proper V6 works just fine for what I do. Heck...I just got rid of my Grand Cherokee SRT8 last year and very few cars were faster than it. But my average MPH was still only 15. So what was the point, really?
