Message	Also, let's compare apples to apples: Stock NA 300: ~ 200 WHP on 3.0L Stock TT 300 ~ 280 WHP on TT 3.0L Stock NA 370 ~ 300 WHP on 3.7L Z32's are easier to mod in TT form, look killer and have a sensible interior and sightlines. 370Z's have excellent suspension, brakes and look a damn sight better than the snailish 350Z's. Myself and Mixman have modded our TT's over the years and we both organize and marshall local autoX & participate in track events. We are running practically the identical SPL/Powertrix suspension setup. He has a full Stoptech kit, I have Wilwood fronts. We have had our cars custom aligned at our local race shop, custom SZ tuned; we're both comfortably over 450 HP on 94 octane. And yet, we're struggling to keep up to a club member who was running a bone stock 350Z. Then he added full SPL suspension, intake & Fast Intentions exhaust, full Stoptechs & race pads and had a SZ custom dyno tune. Got even quicker... Then we had a club member show up in his new 370Z, fresh from the showroom. He equalled the modded 350Z's guys best time on his first try. Showroom rubber & brakes. We were amazed. Also, I ran my brother's stock 350Z around the course before we added the GTM TT kit two years ago... I was a full 2 seconds faster than my best time in my modded Z32. Kick Ass Suspension. Cheers, MY Zs ARE HYBRID VEHICLES, THEY RUN ON GASOLINE AND MONEY "I expressed no attitude, I'm correcting you. If you don't like it, try not to be wrong next time.
