Default Have you read the article on Stillen SC in HCI Mag?

FYI, check out HCI (Hot Compact & Import magazine Oct 2003). You will find 13 page article on the stillen SC car. My take on it is the article is more of an advertisement for Stillen rather than an objective article. All it does to me is state what they have in the car. No testing on handling, braking, or dyno's etc. I wish they would have compared the Stillen to the ATI SC and give pros and cons with each. Anyways, after you read it, give feedback.....

I read the article and I have the Stillen SC. In cold weather the car feels like a rocket. In warm weather the car feels a little sluggish. I really can't wait for the intercooler to be available. I agree with you on the article, it really doesn't say much. I wish once and for all someone would compare side by side the ATI and the Stillen SC and give real times etc.

Heck, if we can figure out we want a comparison, why cant the mags? The 350Z is the #1 selling sports car in the USA. You would think these mags that focus on modding would be jumping at a face off on the only 2 FI mods on the Z.

I am trying to find someone with an ATI here in Los Angeles to compare. At least I want to see first hand an ATI kick my ***. I dont doubt it I just want to see the difference at the same time in the same temp on the same road.

ok, anyone have a ATI SC? skk100 is willing to meet you with his Stillen and we can compare how they sound, look, and get an idea of the difference between the two SC'ers. I would love to do this since I am highly interested in getting a SC. I for one would be interested in hearing the stillen to see if it is as loud as the ATI.

We could write up a comparison. I am sure all the people on my350z.com would love reading it.

That would be an interesting and useful write up. Hopefully you can find a Procharged Z out there somewhere.

Default Supercharged Stillen SMZ Test Drive

SUPERCHARGED --- Stillen SMZ test drive begins on page 18 and ends on page 27 of the fall issue of Sport Z Magazine. This not a commercial for Stillen, it's the real thing. Written by David Muramoto and driven by David Muramoto aka dkmura.

Those of you with subscriptions should be receiving their issue this week or next. Come on USPS --- KICK IT.

The supercharged article is wonderfully written and supported with beautifullly designed graphics. All 350Z owners need to read this issue if you're interested in superchargers.

In the upcoming winter issue, we review the Procharger.

Bob

Hey, If Sport Z wants to come here to SUNNY Pennsylvania, I'd be willing to let them test my Procharged Z!

Dr. Bonz --- if I were to come to SUNNY Pennsylvania to test out your Procharger, what part of SUNNY Pennsylvania would I be coming to? There is a possibility that I may be in PA in October, if it happens, there may be time for a get together. The test would have to be of the butt variety, I am not even close to being a racer so my data collection would have to be strickly empirical.

It would be a good way for the good doctor to get some face time in Sport Z Magazine.

Please email me direct at publisher@sportzmagazine.com.
