Speeds8erM-1 said:97gtblue on here ran one that had almost no mods at a 350Z dyno day here in town, ran from a 20 roll and canned the 350Z. 97 GT has 3.73's, offroad h, flowsmashers, pulleys, filter. It was a few cars at least.
5spd GT said:Let's not stereotype drivers. I have seen good and bad from each driver of many different cars and trucks.
Also, handling is very similar.
A 350Z will beat a stock 98 and down gt...you just have to have a good driver. A 99+ car will usually get the win by a bit, with a good driver. The Mustang has the advantage, slight.
BLUE03GT said:Well, 2 things: The 350Z wasnt racing or the driver shifted at 4 grand
a 97 GT with bolt-ons stands no chance against a 350Z from a stop and especially NOT from a roll, sorry just aint gonna happen
my 03GT with 3.90's, muffs and cai barely pulls a 350Z from a roll by like half a car length

Stang|ess said:Are you comparing the handling characteristics of the 350z to a Mustang? I sure hope not, because a 350 will run laps around a Stang.
5spd GT said:Correct, I am...the 350z is not that far from the 99+s...just look at the stats.
Speeds - It is quite obvious the 350z owner did not know how to drive.
Trav4011 said:No offense, but you obviously know nothing about the Z's build quality or background. The Z has just as much history/nosaltiga as the Mustang does.. dating back to the 60's.
The latest offering is a precise, refined machine.. ZERO body roll, and very sure-footed. It is probably one of the best 2 seater's that I've driven for under 30K. Squeezing over 300hp (newest engine) out of a 3.5 liter V6, and retaining it's status as one of America's 10 best engine's is no small feat. If you ever have the chance to put one through it's paces in the mountains, or on a road course... you would be blown away. The Z isn't a drag car... it never was intended to be... Just stupid kids have tried to make them out to be.. And, whether it was designed for that, or not, it sure can hang. Again, no offense... just wanted to share a few facts.

VPStang said:You really, honestly believe that a mustang handles close to a 350Z?? wow...
stats mean jack chit-- cars can be made to look good under car and driver's "AWESOME" handling test which consists of one run over the skid pad...
That means nothing when you're on the pavement working through the twists--or rather, the twists are working YOU
BLUE03GT said:Speed you are an ignorant fool, a 350Z will pull any bolt on 97GT from any speed....
And as far as my 3.90's go, they pull harder than stock gears up to 120mph which is faster than anyone needs to go to prove who can pull in top end... i have raced other bolt-on 99+ GTs with stock gears and my 3.90's pull on them from a roll all the time... the only thing my 3.90's limit is my top speed which is still higher than most 400hp cars can even achieve
my friend owns a 350Z track edition 6 speed...
We have raced about 30 times from a stop and from a roll... at all speeds... and its about even from a roll depending on who takes off first and from a stop i usually win (keep in mind my car has trapped 101mph which is normal for an intake and muffler 99+GT)
Like i said before, a bolt on 97 GT will not pull a 350z from any speed i dont care what the circumstance (only circumstance would be TERRIBLE DRIVER)

A skid-pad is a constant. It isn't what you "feel" on the road. It is under a controlled enviroment. Look at the stats...
By the way I have drove a 350z. It is a friend's mother who owns it. She let me flog it, me and the friend
They handle close.
Speeds - The gears don't hurt these cars like those stock 5.0L's of yours
