What do you think a 350z with the following mods will run. I like both american muscle and imports and am looking to purchase a new car within the next month. I am stuck between a trans am that runs 12.5 and a 350z. The 2003 Z has:
Performance model
Turbonetics turbo kit
TSW Thruxtons
19x8 F (2.79 inch lip) & 19x9.5 R (3.5 inch lip)
Toyo Proxie TS-1's
JWT flywheel
ACT racing clutch
Helix 3" exhaust
JIC strut bar

 

a lot depends on the driving. and of course how much hp/tq the car has. But I suspect low 12's maybe high 11's with good traction.

 

Also depends on the output (PSI) of the turbo..

 

need more info on what kind of power the Z is putting out. 12.5 is easily done if the kit is boosting right your a decent driver.

 

irregardless of speed, 350z > trans-am.

1/4 speed in only one aspect of a cars performance. handling, braking, and the intangibles such as shifter, brake, and steering feel. A car that combines all of those is a lot more fun to drive that one that go fast in a straight line.

 

I don't see any EM on that list. I'd check that out before I would buy a boosted car.

 

All depends on your driving-everybody likes to think they can drive but they cant. On 19's best TN time Ive seen is 12.3 most are 12.5-12.7 down the 1/4.

 

There are faster cars then the 350Z. Get something else.

the car is actually for sale on here too. what do you guys think? i dont know too much about z's as my past couple cars have been a camaro and mustang cobra. i love the looks of them though.

 

CNOTE have been trying to sell that Z for 2 months. Of course you know that it has a salvage title. Have you driven the car?

 

yea i know it has a salvage. i havent driven it yet, im hoping to have my car sold in the next couple weeks.

 

a 350z with a turbo kit only runs 12.5?

 

^^ no not all of them bro...lots of factors,but some are a bit slower and some are truly built monsters with POTENTIAL 10 second 1/4 miles

 

mid 12s

 

he's running 8.5 psi

 

smart question is, how did that TA get to 12.5?
mods.

I would go with teh faster car MPH wise. and I would not buy an f body (vette only) but my input depends on the mods of the TA

 

does that turbonetics kit really put down 380-400 at the wheels? What do you guys think the car is pushing with the other mods? I really am leaning towards a Z after thinking about comfort, and handling aspects... and running low 12's always helps

 

I dunno about 380-400whp thats on the high side. Likely 360-380whp. Why didnt you answer Snoozer? Whats done to the TA?
