+1. The 370Z must have been misjudging the turn after the long straight. 'Cause he always catches up on the other turns to make the pass (again) on the long straight only to loose the position (again).

Awesome vid, by the way.

Some exhaust I've never heard of but looks similar in design to an Invidia.

HKS Oil Cooler
and some other tidbits not really worth mentioning.

exactly the same thing i saw but unfortunately solo has his HR glasses fogging his ability to reason and comprehend the most obvious.

guys are you sure that the "nismo looking" is a 380RS? the 380 has 350hp stock and I can't believe that the 370z with some bolt on is so faster.

something that is insane is the spring rates in use. on the black Z over 20kg/mm... and 16/17 on the nismo.

the 370z was letting them by in the first corner to follow them after the second lap (where the black driver almost crashed) when he caught and passed both of them by the start/finish. he had won.

cool cars, would like to know specs on the 370z. only handling or did they modify the engine.

Let's not forget these are TUNED cars. It isn't a stock for stock comparison. Because of that, any real direct comparison is somewhat irrelevant, IMO.

good point, but what mods are out there for the 370? not much really. on the other hand the 350's probably have some of the best of the best bolted on since its been out longer and more R&D has been done. but yes, i see your point though.

we can also mention something about the tires...
the "nismo" runs with the direzza Z1, good tire but not the best... the 370 runs with the bridgestone RE11 (according to another comparison, probably the best street tires today) and the "old" 350 has the federal 595 RSR that is a kind of "hard" r-compound

interesting that:
besides the springs used and the bias (stiffer front or rear) they handle good and they use a square tire setup... same footprint front and rear.

I would like to see a race between a stock HR 350Z and a stock 370Z.

how do u guys kno the white one is a 380RS? reason i ask is cuz a 380RS would probably be noticeably faster than the other two and he also had sersious driver issues when it comes to shifting gears and bouncing off the rev limiter lol

The Z33 with the stripes is in fact not a 380rs, it is just a regular Japanese spec Nismo edition car with the 3.5 liter Hr motor in it.
