yah, i wasn't impressed AT ALL with the stock 350z...it is begging to be twin turboed!!!
They should have done more straight from the factory...it is pathetic that a stock 350z gets beat by minivans

there's probably some decent gains to be had with a mini van

think about all the weight you could eliminiate on them - take out all the rear seats, AC vents etc. I wouldn't be suprised if some of those engines respond well to mods since they're not heavily tuned from the factory

Could be the driver. And if youy're getting beat by MV's then you shouldn't be driving a FI.

Why even start a thread like this? We're all Z /G35 drivers here. We get enough crap from trolls. We shouldn't be getting it from our own too. Geez.... End rant.

Understood. I can see why with the downsizing in power.

Might as well let the cat out of the bag...

It seems like there is a watere leak into the cyl #6... in fact it's definitely the case... So, I am getting ready to dropp off the car for a build #4 now... incredible...

We still do not know if it's a blown head gasket (probably) or a sunk sleeve... Let's hope for everyone's sake it's the former... Will keep everyone posted ...
