Re: for those who have not seen the video 350Z vs 98 max

I can understand why it got deleted in the first place. I was expecting an actual race but all I heard for the first 10 seconds was you driving really easily. The only thing I saw was a 350z disappearing really fast. Not really a race IMO. How about a more proper subject: 350z spotted on the highway.

You are aware that this car comes stock w/270plus ponies and a slip diff!!! well not too educated on the 300Z. but if you boost this new monster it will put you up there in the mid 350 horsepower range!!and you know stillen has some stuff that we dont even know about!!

dont know cheston but can find out!!I forgot to ask what which 350 it was! most likely its going to be a 6 speed. And guess what dude is about our age if not younger, but how can he afford such a car is the question?

HIS OLD MAN OWNS THAT NISSAN DEALERSHIP !!


You can ask BrianV or even Y2Kev to drive for you, I forgot brian moved to Texas and Kev lives in San Fran!!Geez theres got to be someone else out there!!

gee thanks for clearing that up... I mean working at Nissan and all I would of never figured that one out
The 300z TT has more hp then the current one.
The 300 is proven to be a good car, the new Z is not.. ITs a new car it will have alot of bugs as the new Altima has.
The 300 has a big aftermarket that will allow you to imporve the hp rating on it more then needed.
6 speed? wow if you want a nice tranny you can always change the gearing on it. In the 1/4 that 6 speed wont help you at all. Stillen wont have anything great for the car. The car is non turbo , they cant do too much to a car like that with simple bolt ons. Nissan got alot out of the car so dont think that Stillen will work wonders on it either

i thought the 350z is faster than the 300z TT? and of course it doesn't have a big aftermarket, yet..give it sometime man. like u said, it's a new car. and has anyone proven that the Z is not a good car? and i'm pretty sure someone somewhere is working on a SC or turbo for the new Z.

dude read some reviews of the new 350Z. Then go test drive one. Then realize it costs about 10 grand less than a comparable 300ZX did when it was being sold. If that doesn't convince you its a good car, then i dunno

Cattman fixed it and put a nice long thick flex on there!!I immediately installed it!!aaah felt great!!then I had to call warpspeed after reading cumalots post and ordered that fence pipe!!aaah feels so good to gain about 28HP!!! at least 3-6 from that fence pipe!! and man did I tear that little strip up on Piedmont felt so good!!I just got one last power mod! to do and thats about it!!

dude... I have read the reviews and I have driven the car as soon as we got it at the dealer. The 350 z is a nice car buts its not all that. You go buy a 350 z for 33 k and I will get a 300z put about 4 grand in to it and spank you all over. Unless that car will come out with a turbo.. its not worth the money at all. Sorry, but I could care less that the car is 10k less then the 300z new. That means nothing
