Default Two Questions

  • A dumb question to start off - I plan to get the Tilton flywheel, UR crank pulley, and possibly the 350EVO 3.9 gears for my Z. This would of course disqualify me from Solo II competition. But I could still run the course as normal, correct?
  • It's pretty evident that the S2000 edges out the Z in AutoX. Are they about equal on a road course, though?

It wouldn't disqualify you from AutoX, you can do *anything* except nitrous and be legal for some class. Most likely you'll be in SM2 with those mods. As for which is faster on a road course, who knows. Last time a mag. compared them the Z was faster in their road course test if I remember correctly. The cars are so close, it's about 95% driver anyways.

If you look at Touring 2 National competition, it's clear the 350Z is quicker that the S2000 in road racing. As always, driver skill and experience make up the largest single factor in speed on a race course.
