MINE's GTR vs 350Z
 

im sure many you know MINE's GTR, and ever since i saw that car on video i wanted to build something like that~:icon9:
the car has amazing engine response with great accleration at 600hp!:eek:
also, the suspension is also amazing tuned!!

it maybe just for dreams but, what do you THINK a 350z needs to upgrade with a performance level that can match the MINE's GTR?

for reference: (after some research i found the mod list of the GTR)
Max Power: 600ps
Weight: 1550kg

MINE's complete stage 2 engine
GT2530 Turbines
MINE's VX-ROM
MINE's Super Outlet Pro
MINE's Front Pipe Pro
MINE's Super Catalyzer II
MINE's Silent VX Pro Ti Exhaust
MINE's Dynamic Coil Overs
F 14kg R 14kg
MINE's AP 6-pot Calipers
BS Potenza RE55S
265/35R18 (F&R)

The Mine's GTR is pure insanity. I have no idea if the Z is even capable of that kind of performance. My guess is that right now it doesn't, but in a few years the aftermarket companies will come out with more and better stuff for our Z's that could put it at that level of performance.

350z will eventually have that kind of capability. Even though its 'just' rwd its probably more balanced than many AWD cars. Give it some time.

mine's made a storker kit for 350z but, it just for N/A 350z

the compression 11.4:1 ( i think that's what i saw i'm not sure )
BBS LM wheels
mine's coilover
titanium exhaust 2.5inch
titanium headers

etc....

im preety sure the Z my get to that level and doing the conversion of weight mines r34 weighs alot. It might be very quick on track but the tires and brakes wont last long.

but other than the 350Z, (cars that can be bought brand new on market) i cant think of another car that is even close to be capable of that kind of performance....

Ffx?

Hate to rain on your parade, but comparing that GTR to any street legal car, or a car bought new from a dealer, is ridiculous an unrealistic. With the amount of money it would cost to buy and modify a GTR to that level, even in its domestic market, it would be easy to make a car that quick for less money assuming the tuner has a solid working knowledge of racecar setup. Regardless of what you may say, that car is set up as a RACE CAR, not a ROAD CAR. There is a very large difference. I have driven many cars with this type of response, and even some with that type of power/weight ratio. But none of them are street legal in the US!

veyron faster on the track and probably more docile on streets NM the 1.3million price tag... there is nothing around here that can outrun a f1 can and still go get groceries.

bugatti pwn3d all

SILENCE!!!!

bugatti from what i read are not as nimble and track friendly but of course the power does make up for it suspsension.

have you guys ever seen a video of the mines gtr? totally different ideology in setup than the bugatti -- almost opposite ends of the spectrum. the Buggati is definitely not quicker than the GTR they are talking about...maybe faster in a straight line, but definitely not quicker in any other sense of the word!

i agree....
if you take the Bugatti and MINE's GTR to a track, the GTR will kill it no questions asked...
actually, its one of the only two cars i've seen in BMI that ran a 57s range lap in Tsukuba....(the other one being the JGTC NSX that runs in the GT500 series)

and for reference, even the Ultimate Z-Tuned GTR only ran a best time of 1 minute 1 second range on Tsukuba...

MINE's did not hesitate to tune the 350z when it first hit the market 3 or so years ago.

They stroked the damn thing for gawd sakes. :icon11:


I would keep an eye on what they'll do to the Z33 platform in years to come. It still a fairly young car.

by how much did the displacement went up with the MINE's stroker kit?

i bet a ariel atomcan even take a veyron ..on a track.

but you wouldnt want to drive the atom every day as a daily driver now would you?:icon38:

theres also always the mcr GTR ...mmm, tasty and preety much just as fast

REALLY??
i saw the BMI Tuners Battle and the MINE's GTR placed 1st and the MCR placed like almost last.....

Addition:
the thing is, what the hell is making the MINE's GTR so damn quick?
is it the engine management? the turbines used are the same as the ones used for the APS TT setup, correct me if im wrong..
the engine has crazy response and im not joking....
for those that dunno which car im talking about http://videos.streetfire.net/Player....D-771358852BEC

The GTR for the price you could get them for in JPN would be my daily driver... If i lived in JPN id have one and a Z33 r-tune for my weekend car.
