Track Edition 350z stock
vs 2002 6spd Maxima with injen intake
vs GTP with CAI / 3" Exhaust / Supercharger Pulley / PCM (chip)

Is this a real-ish race or just a movie-joke? It doesn't seem like anyone but the GTP is really trying.

If its a race, then I really have to put my thumbs down on that Z driver, unless he/she was still breaking in the car...

 

Dude it's real. When cars get pulled on like mad it looks like the ones losing aren't on it. If it makes anyone feel any better don't believe it. The Max runs 14.1 which puts it on par with a stock Z. A stock Z is on par with a 2002 6spd max with a couple of bolt ons. A GTP with those mods would rip any normally aspirated 350z.

heres my problem with it. the GTP gets the launch, Ive driven a GTP many times, and they are FWD auto mind you. so since when does the RWD manual lose the launch? the driver obviously sucks. after that, the Z still should not have lost by that much to the GTP, and should have beaten the maxima.

 

Race a low 13 1/4 mile GTP and find out. Race a 2k2/2k3 Max 6spd with bolt ons and find out. Fastest 2k2 6spd max with a couple of bolt ons is 13.8 (not bad for a fwd 4 door family car that is v6 and normally aspirated on street tires and 17" OEM rims). Yes it looks the the GTP got the jump a bit but it has massive torque especially with those mods. There is a 2002 5spd altima 3.5L that has run 13.9 with intake only. Realistically the Z is a quick car NOT a fast car stock. It is an awesome base for modifications which it needs badly to go up against fast cars.

 

Im confused how rwd + less weight + 32extra hp can not win? did I miss something? I continue to say the Z driver sucks. as for the GTP, whats it dyno in at? they are no faster than 6.1 and 14.3 in stock trim. even if I give the benifit of the doubt and saying maybe 14.0(in stock form) I dont see how much extra power they are getting to go THAT(.7-.8sec) much faster.

 

Race a modded 6spd Maxima and let us know the outcome if possible. Also the GTP had a 3" exhaust, smaller supercharger pulley and chip etc.. Not sure of the dyno numbers but those mods it is a torque monster. Don't sleep on stock GTPs and 6spd Maximas let alone modded ones.

 

Look DONT argue with a ricer they have limitless cash flows to turn even a corrola into a viper beater and embaress the SH*** out of anyone from what I've seen, you just gotta bite the bullet next time a teenager pulls up next to you in a riced camry you better know its a 500+ Hp rocket know what I mean?

 

of COURSE they would'nt DARE race it bone stock though would they? when is it ever a "fair" race? At what point does a car cease to become what it was, I mean..you modd the SH*** out of the engine so much its hardly anything left, all you have is a maxima body shell on some kinda borg bastard engine (or whatever car it is) its hardly ever a fair race anymore..when that civic pulls up next to you with 6+ grand of mods..its not really a civic is it? But they still have the gaul to brag the kills dont they..pisses me off

 

i own a 99gtp right now with a smaller pulley, 3 exhaust, cai, no chip, but it would be a close race between my gtp and 350z, the gtp would kill it off the start with a good launch, modded the way it is, should be around 290 hp, and 320 lbs of torque or more, but the z would begin to gain on it at around 70 miles a hour, the gtps start to die when they get up in speed

 

GTP has had the pulley mod I would assume - supercharger - hello?

Let's get back to basics...

Stock, Stock, Stock... modded, modded, modded.

BTW - GTP looks like doodoo compaired to my Z

Let's see how the GTP fairs with an ECU, intake, and Exhaust mode.

 

modded modded modded, right now i would stick with the gtp, way easier to get hp from them, fastest gtp runnin 11.7, don't know of any max's or 350z running those kinda times yet......i imagine they will eventually, but for now,

 

Um the Maxima has an intake only! $180.00 mod. No borg thing going on there?

 

Ya a GTP is easy to get crazy power out of and realitively cheap. Torque monsters!

There are SuperCharged/NOS Maximas running in the low 12's now. With the recent development of turbos they will be running 11's when the tracks open up again. 350HP to the wheels ++

what do u guys think will happen if the 350z has a turbo or supercharger?

 

not bad, but thats with nitrous, makes a hell of a difference, the gtp's aren't shooting up and hitting 11's

 

Gimme a break. All of this is pointless. This isn't even a solid race. I wouldn't even CALL it a race. There's no xmas tree. Its a lame stoplight race. For all we know, at the track the GTP might have red-lighted. I wouldn't be bragging until I took all three to the track and see what happens. All I can tell you is that Z driver didn't even seem to be trying at the launch. Either he/she doesn't know how to launch or he/she wasn't trying. The arguments about stock vs. modded are pointless when you consider the race was a bunch of BS to begin with. Street racing isn't anything to brag about, especially something like this.

The Z with a proper driver should get the launch on either of those FWD cars, even if the FWD cars catch up and pass quickly. At the track and under measurable and more objective conditions, a RWD car with comparable torque and weight and a driver who knows how to launch should get the better 60' time and the better start. Don't even make me get into the numbers here (concerning power-to-weight, torque, gear ratios and driveline...).

Take it to the track and then brag. I still think the Z's driver sucks *****...

 

comparable torque??? how do u get that. 274 to 320 + ??????

 

I don't know, this doesn't look like a real race to me. The first "race" you have the Z WAY behind the GTP, and then it pans over to find the Max in front of the GTP. Then the second "race" the GTP is way ahead of everyone and it looks like the Z driver backs off at one point. Very Questionable video....

 

Yup, I watched it again. This is not a real race, more like a few people messing around, getting on it..backing off... Its garbage.
