So a 650rwhp Z wouldn't impress you either. Or any car for that matter?

dont mind him HDPD he makes wild inaccurate/ludacris statements every now n then its just something you grow to learn n accept as a part of the forums.

You know like when ur in school and you have that "special" kid and hes always yellin out in the middle of class for no reason. You learn to ignore him same thing in this case. =D hope that helps

As long as it has a Turbonetics turbo he'll think it's the shizzle!

If I had the offer, I'd rather have a 17 year old 550hp 300zx than an 07 650hp rsx.

power to weight.

honda engines pull like nobodys business in the topend too.. much faster then a VQ.

Traction is the killer though. On the street, its useless until 3rd+ gears. And even then, at 700whp, you have to peddle the **** outa it. Get it onto the highway.

Honda's are my passion, like others ivehad hi-hp turbo EG's. But man, the 350z hooks up like a **** on the street. And makes anyone look like a good driver. U need some skill to control/optimally drive a turbo honda

I had 275/40 BFG KDW tires on the rear of my Z. They wouldnt hook up worth a damn. The best I ever got was a 2.4 60ft. I even let some experinced racers try and they agreed they were crap tires for drag racing. If they lost all traction in first they would light up all the way through 2nd gear. I tried launching them over and over in diffrent conditions. At 3000-3500 rpm launch they would just fry, with my lowly 9.1 compression low horsepower engine lol.

Id hit a 2.06 0ft in 2 passes If I can hit a 2.0 60ft in 2 of 3 stock runs, you/your guys are doing something wrong or your track sucks, or both. No excuse for an NA car with decent camber on 275 KDW2's to not hook 1.9-2.0 60ft's....

My 245wide KDWs got me a 2.1 60' and I know I could get more out of them. I would agree that you and your friends were doing something wrong.
