Ill bring my slow Z out for some friendly runs...will be faster by then

 

^

 

we've got a stage 5 nutswinger

 

awesome, what more do you plan on doing to your car?

how much boost you running?

 

Too bad this isnt in cali... otherwise id love a good time race day

 

we've been talkign about doing one in cali, if we do then i wont be there :-( but it would be nice to allow some of our west coast sixers go at it!

 

How bout this I organize the 350z west coast side and you get someone to start up your v6 guys for stangs we gather up cars and head to the tracks? Im sure alot of the community would love to do this...

 

i like it, so basicly i tell the west coast v6 mustang guys to go to your 350Z competition?

 

9psi stock block for now. I have a race gas tune + more boost I need to try yet, and go to a better track under good conditions. I would go if you guys came near me, but no way Im driving hundreds of miles and possibly snapping an axle or breaking something....

jackie-thats just wrong man...

 

Thought it was your compitition.. ill just rally up the z crowd and you have someone get your stang crowed and we hit the event on a schedualed day

 

i see. I just put up a thread in the v6power.net california sub forum, asking if anyone would be interested. Most of our hard core guys are on the eastern half of the country unfortunatley, but its worth a try.

So we could just do a shared track event, no private track rental, as it probably wouldnt be necessary with only 10 cars or so. Then just have the v6 mustang crowd show up with your guys.

 

I keep warning your mom to stay away from my nuts but she loves them...

 

cant wait jackie chan, i cant ever get anyone to race me.... oh yes my sigs will be changing tomorrow.... i promise, or i will have a broken half shaft, but yes, one will happen

 

Had a run in with a SS camaro with abuncha thingamagiggys on it. eitherway as i passed him sideways the look on his face was priceless but you are right no one races a Turbo Z its hard to find a race

 

no one races a turbo anything over 5 clyanders (uhh some crazy europeans came up with the idea for turbo I5es), unless you're packing a turbo yourself lol

people buy 4 bangers that run 16s stock and people don't find that as coucou as someone buying a v6 mustang that runs 16s stock.

v6 mustang>16 sec 4 banger for potential.

Now the reason why i have a v6 mustang rather than a faster car is because A) i wanted a rwd sports car with 2 doors B) i am only 20 and cant afford much C) my v6 mustang brand new cost 14,500 dollars with my ford A plan discount. D) a mazda miata is rwd, but has a 4 banger with less potential, plus that car has no practicality (could have gotten that with a plan too) E) rx8 costs an arm and a leg and rotary engines arent my cup of tea.

 

ok

do you see turbo vipers?

they exist too

 

audible, I'll let you know, its going into the shop next week(just a bunch of 10yr old maint. stuff really) and i am mounting up my track wheels(stockers with et streets) and street stuff (deep dish bullitts). SO I will get with you.

oh yeah and check this out...pathetic

 

Relax guys damn-jackie no need to insult a guy for a smiley face post....

 

Well anyhow, jackie chan you got a mustang, or some other kind of GT vert(thats not mustang)?

I've raced a 1998 Gt mustang on the freeway from a 70 mph roll to about 120+ (dont know exact speed cuz my crapy speedo goes to 120 only and i didnt have the digital readouts on) i beat it by mutlitple car lengths.

I've raced a 1995 auto GT convertible 5.0 v8 mustang, beat it from a stop everytime. He had exhaust, and underdrive pulley.

I've raced a 350Z and got smoked (it had x pipe, exhaust and a few other things, guy was impressed how fast my car was though)

The only Z i've beaten is some guy in a 280Z (yea the I6 one from like 1980) and ofcourse i won cuz its from 1980, but it was fun.

What i got: 2004 3.8 litre (technicaly 3.9 because they made a little itty bitty change on the crank in 2004), 1.8 non adjustable harland sharp roller rockers, superchip, y pipe back exhaust, and a cold air intake. Also i found out recently my chip makes my car slower, so i am going to get it retuned. I ran a 15.48 with the chip on, and i raced a 15.2 sec grand prix with chip on and lost and won with chip off So i'd imagine i should be able to pull a high 14, like a 14.9. I also have a few more n/a mods i plan on doing, money is tight though. I also have an automatic and my chip mis shifts 1st to 2nd so i have to make it shift differntly by lettign off the gas and flooring it really fast just before my shift point. With the chip off i dont have this problem, but my fuel curve is differnt. I plan on doing a dyno run this summer, getting E3 spark plugs or bosch 4 point spark plugs, a ported intake manifold with a 70mm TB. Possibly x pipe and LT headers too. With all those mods i should pull a mid 14. I also want to get cnced heads with bigger valves and a cam, with all these n/a goodies mid- high 13s should be possible with a nice stall converter. If i want to go faster i'll need to change the rotating assembly and get a stroker kit (4.2 v6 like in the f-150 v6).


The big advantage i see you guys haveing is the 4 valve DOHC heads, and the big advantage i see us having is the cheaper parts, cheaper intitial vehicle cost, cast iron blocks, and thats about it, so i think both our advantages end up making it even out. Also you guys get 5 speed autos and 6 speed manuals where as we get 4 and 5 speeds. The new 05+ has 5 speed auto, and we can get a 6 speed manual for 2500 bucks (i've seen only one so far).

Oh we also have a ton of room under our hoods, and solid rear axles that are only an advantage for drag racing.

 

You shouldnt have beat even a stock 98 GT by multiple car lengths if your running 15.4-unless it was loaded with 4 fat chicks and the driver had palsy, but good kill Can you link us to a drag regisrty of some V-6 1/4 times with mods? Id like to see what they are capable of...
