OK might sound dumb, but Do any of you have a factory freak motor??

I ran about 6 differnt 350z's, and I only lost to 1.

I ran two 2007 350z, with the HR, and beat them by a car n 1/2 everytime. Tried from digs, and rolls. Same result.

Ran, a friend 2006 Z with intake, exhaust, plenum spacers, and took him 2-3 cars, and was still pulling.

I have a 2003 Track model. All these were friendly races with friends I know. I wanted to see where my car stands.

Oh and I ran my friends 2001 Cobra. it still has 320hp, and he has intake, and exhaust. I was dead even with him.

My car is 100% stock.



Sorry if its in the wrong section.

Pop the hood and see if there's any Nismo stickers in the engine bay. Remember, 1 sticker = 10whp

In all seriousness, some of possibilities I can think of are 1)you're better driver or 2)because 03's are lighter. But don't count it it.

an 01 cobra is like racing a regular mustang gt

and no, it's just a coincident that you beat other Zs. there is a lot of factors involved.

I raced 3 friends with mustang GT's. All of them with almost the same mods.

the fastest of them were a 2004 GT. which had exhaust, intake, xpipe, and diablo tuner? thats what he said.

I beat him by 2 cars.


Ill try to get some vids, so you guys can actually see what Im talking about.

i meant in the sense of beating it. 01 non supercharged cobra runs around 13.5-13.9 .. It has 320 flywheel hp but dynos around 260-270whp. The bad things about these cars is rapidly losing compression.

it's true. He could be a much better driver than the rest of the people, shifting perfectly, tire pressure, tires, traction, etc can play a role. IF you actually think he has a "factory freak" , i dont' really know what to tell you.

Actually the regular '99-'04 GT's are 2V engines, the '01 Cobra has the 4V engine that can also be found in the '03/'04 Mach 1. It makes alot more power and runs more than 1/2 a second better.

Just go dyno it with your friends and see how it stands up in HP. Same day every one dyno and see if it is engine . Did you buy it new? The reason I ask is I had a full port and polish on my 05 when I traded it in and the new owner will never know unless he/she has engine work done.

You are likely a better driver. What do you run, lets see some times. 20 or 30whp NA wont always equal a win in a race. Ive beaten cars with over 100WHP more than my Z because the drivers sucked at life. As far as switching cars and you still lose-that throws me off!

BTW-the days of freak motors are long gone, engines are built to tighter tolerances than back in the day.
