Z needs what to be > M3
What does a 350Z need to be as quick or a little faster than an M3 coupe? I know they're like 330 HP. I'm just curious. Now don't say Force induction, cause I'm sure there's a way to be by staying N/A. I still haven't raced one, so i have no idea how much slower I am than one.

Minus the cams, don't they dyno roughly the same as a stock M3? The gears along with the flywheel/clutch combo would make a huge difference in a real world scenario though.

You might now remember me, but I was the guy in the red M3 during the Angeles Crest drive awhile back. When you started that last thread, I recall you texting or calling me about how the car would do. Honestly, the M3 is a good deal faster, especially from a roll. Not sure how the gears would affect things, but I would still expect the M3 to have edge from roughly 80-100+. From a dig, it should be quite close with the Z possibly having edge until you reach the top of 3rd gear.
Just to quench your curiosity, just run one and get it out of the way. If you do it from a roll, you'll have a better chance if you start from a lower speed such as in 1st or 2nd gear.
