quite a few actually, lots of naysayers around here, which surprises me to be honest, as a Z enthusiast, I see the potential in all Z cars, but there is way too much bias on this forum.
Haha, john force, love that guy. But honestly, as sensitive as our clutches are and how hard it is to grip, these things are extremely difficult to launch, i've yet to find a sweet spot. I'm hoping combined with the DR's and LSD, i'll be able to launch at a higher RPM and actually get decent grip through the first 3 gears, right now, I litterally will spin through 2nd and chirp 3rd, kills the time alot.

Man that's crazy... the two fastest stock times for 350Zs are base models. Apparently they lack torque and excuses.
Ill go to mustang magic, do you know how much they charge? and if you guys are cool with them, get me in there for 50 bucks for even 2 pulls and ill go asap.
My buddies evo 9 mr with intake , downpipe and greddy exhaust was tuned there and got 331 with 340 tq i think ? But i looked at evo forums and that seems spot on for what it should have. I myself am sceptical of these numbers but when we looked at what other cars made on that dyno at both shops it was clear my car made real good power for what it is.
at both shops my motor made more power than other ones.
Example. My neighbor/friend has a 2009 7AT. He got all the upgrades at once from smithtown, Injen CAI, Berk Test Pipes, And Greddy Exhaust with the uprev tune and he made 318 whp ....

Adam's car has never been tuned or dynoed anywhere on the island.
Stop hating on the 370z. HR's are getting good numbers W/mods. Why can't the VHR? I own a 350 so I'm not bias. Nissan MADE the 370z to be BETTER than the 350z. Why is it so hard to believe that the 370z has more potential. We should be happy that the 370z is capable of great numbers. If anything 300zx TT is the best Z ever.

Yes. Light weight. 3230 for the base, as much as the DE. Believe me, 3230 is a feather compared to other cars of its genre. I also remove the passenger seat/spare/jack when I drag, total weight lost.. 83 lbs.

Okay but you replied to someone talking about a 350. The weight difference certainly isn't enough between the two to make a huge difference.
