bad driver in the 350.

stock for stock 350 wins.

MannyGT · June 25th, 2007, 09:07 PM

I have to give that to shap, stock for stock 350 wins.

Kilzod · June 25th, 2007, 09:17 PM

Depending on year, but I agree as well.

NotUrAvg4G · June 26th, 2007, 02:34 AM

I called out an NSX tonight and he punked out big time...

Tech_Greek · June 26th, 2007, 12:11 PM

He turned on his hazard lights at 60 MPH wtf? haha

Leeclipse · June 26th, 2007, 01:33 PM

A race between a 350Z and an 06 or newer Eclipse GT is not a win for the 350.

You need to quit racing by statistics and start racing on pavement. Half of the race is getting in the other drivers head. If you have him convinced that he has to beat you in order to save his face he will blow the launch or blow a shift almost all the time. The one you don't want to race is the guy that doesn't care if he wins or looses, because he's relaxed.

Both these cars are close enough in power that either can win the race. It's all up to the driver.

it could be possible stock gt vs g35 with intake = win for the gt

Nope, G35 will win also. The one with all the gadgets.

nope auto vs auto gt wins

Tech_Greek · June 26th, 2007, 06:29 PM

The bottom line is that I've drag raced with 350z'ers before and they all ran anywhere from a 14.0 to a 14.5 depending on traction and that same gap of performance applies to 4th Gen's and times.

MannyGT · June 26th, 2007, 10:56 PM

Tech I havent seen a stock GT doing 14.0 yet, only 14.3 to 14.5, I still think G35 and 350 stock vs stock wins

Kilzod · June 26th, 2007, 11:11 PM

IIRC, the fastest stock time was 14.1? Could be wrong though.

mbunds · June 26th, 2007, 11:31 PM

The baytown Nissan dealer is just up the street from the Mitsubishi dealer. The Mitsu' dealer says they have lined up with the 350z's and get them off the line every time because the 350 can't transfer its torque to the ground effectively, being RWD. The 350 gets the GT at the top end.

Dan6g75 · June 27th, 2007, 08:16 AM

There was a stock GT who did 14.02 but that was more than a year ago.

Tech_Greek · June 27th, 2007, 06:54 PM

The 350z is one of the hardest cars I've ever driven to launch because it has such a low rpm range, and that torque is all sudden so if you launch too high you're defintley spinning and if you launch too low you're just going to bog and loose.

As far as winning, it's a PURE drivers race, there's nothing more to say about the entire thing.

Thats why I was saying if you get in their head you'll beat them every time. They try to hard in order to save face and end up spinning out or blowing a shift.

Damnit... INVU Manny

I want that clutch/LSD/flywheel combo so bad.

It really does make a world of difference.

I really need to get my budget straight and get with the mods!

For those who are really dead-set on improving that launch, there are also other more expensive and advanced non-FI ways of achieving this - such as solid engine mounts (not recommended for daily driving) and crankshaft knife-edging. Hollow camshafts would be nice, but looks improbable for our market

EDIT: I forget, short shifter. I always fn grind on 3rd! Isn't there one already available for the GT?

Kilzod · September 16th, 2007, 12:11 PM

Yeah - TWM has one, but it's only a 25% throw reduction and 0% height reduction. Unless you cut the shifter more yourself.

But all in all, I've heard the shift quality is a lot better than stock with their bushings etc. Also weighted knobs help.
