Check out the Mine's and MCR 370Z at the Tsukuba Time Attack.

Looks pretty good lowered with wheels. I'm still not sold on the headlights but everything else looks pretty sweet.

 

I wonder what it would look like WITHOUT wheels...

 

The MCR with the Enkei's looks great. I have already begun talking with the wife about this being our next car. This would be the perfect summer complement to the Audi.

 

offsets!

and also, 1:06 from a stock suspension'd car (minus tires, wheels)? not too shabby.

 

I still just don't like them. That rear quarter panel is just killing it for me.

 

Beautiful, I normally don't care much for red but this one is really growing on me. I hope to see some strong N/A mods for this car.

 

thats good but its only a second faster than a regular 07 08 z according to this, and the 370Zs in that article werent completely stock, i bet that nismo z behind the red one in the first pic destroyed them . idk i find that kinda dissapointing

Daym those things are slammed!!!


The 370 looks alot better w/out those fugly stock wheels.

 

WTF wheels look too small and car looks too low, WEIRD

 

Mine's looks good, esp with the spoiler. Compare it to MCR w/o spoiler. The drop also looks very nice, I wonder what those wheel sizes are. They look 18s compared to the car but are prolly 19s.

 

I bet they are 18's... for track purposes

 

the mines car had aftermarket rims/tires. that is all in terms of suspension. and 1 second on a short course is a lot IMO, as well...

the Nismo in that pic is also a 3.8RS iirc and probably not close to stock.

and it's the first time to be on the track, don't know if traction control was on/off... there is almost no information in the article besides a number so it's not really fair to judge.

 

Looks like golf cart wheels on there and they are too low.

 

For reference, the new E90 M3 sedan did about 1:06.154 sec around the same track. The M3 is slightly faster than the old Cayman S at TopGear track at 1:25.9. I think 370Z will be very close in performance with the likes of M3/Cayman S/IS-F.

Nice. Rims are small because these cars are track focused so they appear to be using 18's. For th etrack form takes a backseat to function. Coming in last but looking pretty never got anyone a trophy lol.

For the street I wouldnt go smaller than 19's and wouldnt go bigger than 20's. Cant wait for the i/e/h numbers on a 370z. BTW what did the EVO X do on that track bonestock? That should give us an idea of where the 370z stacks up on a short track vs its rivals...

 

yeah, there are not many places to utilize the power the M3 has on this circuit. there is one long straight, but I bet the M3 has traction issues coming out of the entry turn.

again: different drivers, different days... it all doesn't mean much IMO.

 

I agree on tracks with longer straights, it will be to the M3 advantage.

 

Prior to opening the link I thought to myself "this guy must be on crack, no such thing as a sports car that is TOO low..." Until I saw this.

 

well yea i agree with there not being much info out but still lightweight wheels and good tires helps a lot then the added power it has should put it a lil quicker but why would MCR and Mines put their stickers on if if there are no performance parts? oh i didnt know if thats a 380RS but the current nismo z is without a doubt faster than that

 

The article spoke of coilovers so the suspension is not stock. I would think that as well as better wheels and rubber would help quite a bit. I know it has always helped my cars dramatically. Still an impressive time if it's competitive to the M3 IMO.
