Default 300ZX Vs 350Z 1/4 Track

I just bought a new 2004 350z and my buddy has a 1991 300zx TT. When the snow melts we are going to take our cars to our local track just out of the city. We want to do a 1/4 and 1/2 mile track.

My 2003 350z Consists of these mods/things done with them:
- 40,xxxkms on engine
- Tire tread around 75-80%
- Stillen Catback Exhaust
- Injen cold air intake

Friends 300zx TT includes:
- 60,xxxkms on oringinal VG30DETT engine
- Brand new street radial performance tires
- Complete engine overhaul approx. 10,000kms ago including: hoses, gaskets, internals etc etc.)
- Approx. 100-200lb weight reduction
- EGR removed
- PRVR removed
- Carbon canisters removed
- He is "turbo-backing" the exhaust soon
- VeilSide Exhaust system (Single piped, not dual)
- Greddy Front Mount Intercooler /w 2.5" piping
- Dual Stillen Cold Air Intakes
- APEXI AVC-R Boost Controller
- HKS Turbo Timer
- Dual APEXI Blow off valves
- Dual Wastegates
- Nismo Short Shifter
- Lowered on TEIN Coilovers
- Slotted rotors
- New Intake Manifolds
- Hard pipes intake kits coming off of each throttle body
- Throttle body coolant bypass

Which car would win on a track? which would win on 1/4 drag track and a 1/2 track? Thanks!

your friend would destroy you even if he's not the greatest driver. Stock for stock his car is faster than your's. Then take into consideration all the mods..

hmmm okay, yeah my 350 is also a 2003* not the 2004* not sure if that makes much of a difference...but yeah he is also a bit faster shifter than I am. But yeah makes sense, a turbo car let a lone a twin turbo would respond sooo much better than a N/A car to breather mods...

what happened to your original thread?

Did it get deleted because it is a stupid f@wking question about bench racing?

Maybe you should take a hint and stop asking.

If your friend was stock on suspension mods you might have a chance in the 1/2 mile track but being he's on coilovers he has you no matter what. Another failed thread....

The Top Gear vid isn't accurate. Top Gear is scripted, and I can tell you as the owner of both a 1990s 300zx TT and now a 2003 350z, the 300zx was significantly faster, and had a lot more power in the upper end. With the pop charger and boost jets, it could peel tires in 3rd gear at speed. I long for the boost of the 300zx.

The 350z has better handling and brakes, the 300zx had better power and speed. To be honest though, what I miss most is the T-tops. Nothing was like yanking out the roof and going for a sunny summer drive.

Stock vs stock is a driver's race, as both cars make about 240rwhp stock.

Your car +$1000, and you make 242rwhp.
His car +$1000, and he makes 330rwhp.

You do the math.

Tires count incredibly, as does drag racing experience.

Cannot calculate winner without 300zx tire tread percentage.

Not a chance. Go be misinformed elsewhere.
