*a 94 GT 5.0 HO comes outta the stable*
I was thinking more along the lines of a 05+ V6.

But seriously, I've always liked the 350Z, I even considered getting one before my Mustang. In my opinion, its one of the only proper sports cars that comes out of Japan.
yeah who gives a **** if they are from japan or were in tokyo drift, they are badass cars, but I would get a stang before a Z
id go

Skyline>5.0>Supra>350Z

skyline would have to be AWD and twin turbo tho.
why does everyone alway stick the skyline into the mix... its in a totally different price braket

its like me saying Viper SRT-10 > mustang gt > 350z > rx-8

that thing is so theoretically overplayed its annoying... mind you that isnt even a good compairison because the skyline is far more rare then the srt-10

Another 350z just went sub 13.5 stock... just wanted to post that up since I see a LOT of BS information about them.....

2. Warmmilk ------------------------07 Enth 6spd 13.493@103.65mph 2.120 60ft Verified


It's actually pretty impresive. This guy put down 265whp/231wtq (dynojet).
Good, for their price they should have been running those numbers to begin with.
Can't say I disagree.... but of course I drive a 22K car vs 30+ so I guess I expect more for the money same as you do.
Your exactly right about that.
have you ever taken one out and beat the **** outta it? it can take turns our mustangs could only take with a fair amount of mods. just because it doesnt pound people in the 1/4 doesnt mean your not getting your moneys worth...

Those two cars have pretty much identical trap speeds, yet the one with the slower 60 ft (by nearly 2 tenths, a lot for the first 60 feet) ran the faster ET. Kinda odd.
Weather conditions is all I have to even explain it. LOL maybe shifting skills?

I think we will see the 350 hit even better times, they are running what..a bit over 300hp correct? And they just about or probably weigh less thana Mustang. If a stock04 Mach1 can hit low 13s than these new Zs should have no problem hitting the same number, all depends on the driver.

People are happy in their S2000, BMW roadster cars too having paid out the rear... yet they don't perform the greatest in any arena....FWIW a review i've seen of the 350Z on a roadcourse said an RX-8 embarasses it and it plows through the corners instead of going around them. Guess if you are the one that paid 30+K for a car your interpretation of it's performance is higher/better than that of someone who didn't.

I don't necessarily like them, but that is not to say that if I had the oppurtunity to drive one for awhile, that I would even consider passing it up.

In a sense, they are the closest thing to a Japanese Mustang there is,,, since we all know the RX-8 is too much of a sports car, not to mention the lack of power.

But yea, considering how much better that 60' is on the better time, I'm surprised it's that close.

I agree with you but the title of this thread is 350z's are getting quicker Not 350z's sure do handle good[8D] And when you start bringing price into the equation.Some may see it as a performance bargain. But to others it's not such a bargain. It all depends what your comparing it to.
