Default Turbonetics Z- Chicago Club Car of the Month! ***PICS***

Not sure if this is the best section to post this....















Q & A

ChicagoZ.com :What got you hooked to the 350Z that you ended up purchasing it?
dbz33 :I had a 1994 RX7 TT and I loved it. The after selling it I was looking at the new BMW 3 series. Two of my friends at work just got them but the performance was just not there. I wanted the M3 but could not afford it. So I saw the new 350z and fell in love with it. In high school all I wanted was a 300ZX but my fater would not let me get it. So now i am a Z owner.

ChicagoZ.com :What action does your 350Z mostly see? drag, autox, road race, show car, weekend car, and/or daily driver...
dbz33 :I drive my car all the time. Its my daily driver other than winter. It has seen the Drag Strip only once. I would love to try Autox but never have yet.

ChicagoZ.com :Any performance specs? 1/4 mile@mph, whp/wtorq, track times...
dbz33 :The only times I have are 13.0 @ 111MPH with my Vortech kit on a bone stock 350z. I took that off and now have a Turbonetics Single Turbo with 390 RWHP not tuned. I will be tuned soon and will go back to the Drag Strip to run some low 12's.

ChicagoZ.com :What other modifications are you planning on doing to the 350Z, if any? Whether it's performance, handling, appearance, and/or sound system....
dbz33 :The only thing left for my car is the UTEC system, 500cc injectors, and tuning. Next year I hope I can build the motor and run more boost.

Yeah, I'd expect the car to burst into flames at any given moment due to the opposing forces of the good/evil parts coinciding under the same hood....

Just kidding. I'm actually considering using an APS exhaust on my car when I finally get around to building. Should work well.

Car looks hot! Good job!

I knew someone would say that. Thanks for the props guys. I will also have my UTEC system, tuning, and injectors installed next friday at GRD. I am looking for 410 - 440 RWHP on pump gas.
