Message	My Z looked pretty fast before turbos, but the fact is, it wasn't. Most modern v6 family sedans come from the factory with close to 300 (crank) hp. The 240 ish (crank) hp my NA with mild bolt ons was producing, would only just keep up with v6 ImpCamTaurAccords accelerating away from a stoplight. I'm not talking about racing these things, I'm just talking about pulling away from a light when two lanes merge into one. When my Z was NA I usually just let the sedan go ahead, because unless I really got on it, hard and early, I wasn't going to be out in front. That is no longer an issue, as even with easy acceleration away from a stop, my TT is far quicker than most cars on the road. My Mod List & More At Motortopia or The Car Space
