How does a 4th or 5th Gen 5speed fair against a 300ZX NA 5sp 90-95

I am aware a Z has a 32hp advantage against a 4th Gen but it seems like the increase in horses did not change the 0-60 times by much. I think the Z does have 10-20 less ft/lbs of torqueI would like to see a VE 5speed/ 95 5speed/ and a 2k 5speed and a NA Z run in a straight line, no twisties. I am sure some of you guys have run against a NA Z 5 speed.

Thanks,

Pat

I had a 90 300zx N/A 5 speed. Although it was old it still pulled hard. A 95-99+ max would have smoke mine. It was heavy but it looked great and sounded good. It was my toy for about a year, until I decided to get married, now all my toys are gone.

Thanks for input.,,,,,,,,

Thanks for all the input. I drove a Z perhaps is felt quicker because it was so low to the ground and I was being pushed instead of pulled (RWD) I am looking for second car since I have a modified auto that I am bored with.

Thanks for input.

Why Not

My friend a non-tt 300zx and his car feels much heavier. I drive it all the time and its nice but it can be beaten with ease. I did it and he was shocked that a maxima could beat his car, i mean all i did was drop a gear and was out got it up to 110 or so in 4th and dropped it into 5th, and call it a night.

Now he wants to get a tt engine, anyways a max with some mods can beat it.
