| gotta love using FF w/ the bugmenot extension :)
anyways, here are some quotes:
"he other night a 300zxtt wanted to play so I went for it and belive it or not I got him off the line and was ahead till he hit his nitrous and then he went bye bye
We were on I-75 doing about 120 or so.
I guess I its the 6th gear that helps out the most. Just my story to share with you." "I was driving my cousin's TL-S the other day, and a 300ZX TT wanted to race with us. So, we just went ahead and beat the Z. BUt I can tell that Z didn't sound too healthy" "I've owned a '96 300ZX TT and currently own a 2004 ZR. I think that the current engine is a better engine. The 3L TT had very little low end torque, and made its power with the turbos. It was a monster over 3000 RPM, but in agreement with an earlier post, until the turbos get spun up, the current 3.5L has better pull off the line. I'm sure the 300 would pull away eventually, assuming the 300 was in proper working order. The 3.5L would probably be a real killer with TTs. For a daily driver around town, I kind of like having the low end torque that I was missing, but the jury is still out on reliability. My 300 was bulletproof for as long as I owned it. Just to put my 2 cents in on handling, the TT had the super hicas rear wheel steering, so I don't know how much difference there was compared to the NA models, but the 300 had more grip than I had guts. It cornered like it was on rails. Although the weight of the ZX and ZR is about exactly the same, the ZR feels heavier in the turns. The '96 TT was a $45K car in 1996, so the difference between it and today's Z has to be somewhere. Of course the price is what eventually killed it." "The '96 300zx weighed 3518 pounds! Talk about a boat! The 350z is smaller, lighter, has more displacement, has a better power/weight ratio even being NA, has a better weight distribution, and also has a slightly better coeffient of drag. Don't get me wrong, I've never driven the 300zx so I don't know. The above are just stats on paper. I just can't imagine the 300zx blowing away the 350z at handling. What makes some of you guys say that? The 350z handles like a champ. The 300zx must be godlike" "I've driven both and the 300ZX TT does seem heavier. As for power the 350Z has alot more potential. With the 300ZX TT guys would do intake exhaust and a JWT Chip and get a little over 300 rwhp like 315ish. and they were running around 15psi of boost. On my Z with the Greddy kit set to 5psi and a full exhaust I'm making 362rwhp. As far as a full tilt upgrade remember the Sport Compact Car Project 300zx TT? They got 560rwhp after a full motor build up, crazy porting and 24 psi on 116 octane race gas. SGP has a 350Z making over 560rwhp on 93 octane pump gas with only the Greddy kit at 14psi ,forged, pistons and rods and a set of nismo cams. That with the car only being out for 2 years says alot."
Mind you, most of these guys are n00bs.
My adverseries crumble when we rumble, it's a catastrophe
When will you learn, you can't tie me down babydoll - cuz I get around. |
