He's comparing the price of aused car and turbo to the prices we paid for brand new. Why even bother posting that crap? I can buy a used fox and dump 20k into it and be much faster. We were talking about bank for buck, he just wanted to brag that his 350z is still in one piece after running a low 11.
Now if you don't see how his post was useless then i can't explain it any better. Inviting me to drive 2 hours to tampa to line up next to some rich kid with a really fast 350z that would likely put me into the wall, no thanks.

i find nothing wrong with his post... he was even inviting... why so hostile?
on a side note, please close this thread
I bought the car 2 years ago for 22K. I could have bought a new 05 base for 5k more. I decided on an 03 because visually, they're the samebut the 03 is about 150lbs. lighter.I saved about $1500by buying a used Turbo kit. So, if you want to compare out-of-box its about dead on.
By the way, I'm a 28 year old General Contractor. I use this car as a release,I turn all my wrenches and get a big kick out of the whole deal.
The point of my post is, how can you say what the best bang for buck when you don't even know the car. Hell, most of our best tuners are still figuring stuff out and we haven't even scratched the surface.
When I bought this car, I was told I'd never run this or it'll cost too much to do that... whatever.
This car was only putting down 400whp to achieve that 11.2 and with just the turbo, running360whp netted an 11.9. I've also had about75+ nitrous only runs ranging from 100-150 shot. Thatgot me consistent 12.2-12.0 with a best of 11.83.
But I guess these motors don't last(under the wrong tuner, what motor will)
Anyway, If youdon't want to come down for the event, thats cool, but it is a nice time with a lot of fast street cars.I wasn't challenging anyone, I've got trying to be the first stock block Z to break 10's in the states to contend with. Plus, we'd know the outcome!
Lastly, I would like to say I enjoy this site, I've bought a few sets of used wheels and DR's from some of your members which I appreciate.
Happy Racing!

this is my last post here... but YOU might want to do some research of your own... a whipple is a twin screw ROOTS type blower.... the fact that you think you don't have a roots blower shows your credibility.... what categorydo you think a positive displacement twin screw design falls under? centrifugal? [sm=icon_rofl.gif]
Nothing against you M.I...........but making that statement is gonna cost you credibility in the technical knowledge department. As 67mustang302 stated......a twin screw and a roots blower are not the same animal. Make sure you know what grade of ammunition you're playing with before firing it at other members.......even ones as asocial as moosestang.[8D]
BTW, where's JD? Shouldn't this one have been locked down about 6 pages ago?[:@]

I don't think they correct times at the 1320 for that......
I give up. Good time on the 13.2 Peak350. Next time, get a video of your car, and try to get a shot on the time at the end of the vid. I am sure you are not lying. But, when people throw up these phenomenal times, others want solid proof. When I told everyone here I ran a 13.2 with minor bolts on, it was a flame thread. Why is it so hard for an 07 GT 5A to run that low of a time, on street tires? All depends on the driver. I am sure with some DR's, you will break into the high 12's. Don't expect to go any faster without some bolt-ons or some F/I. Good running man, keep it up. Youare more then welcome on this site IMO, since you did not come in bashing mustangs and starting more crap.
For the price on the NISMO, it is pretty expensive. You could buy a stage 2 Roush for the same price, and get a bit more bang.

Thanks.
BTW difference between a roots and twin screw. (I thought he had an eaton, wasn't paying attention).
Roots - compress air inside intake manifold - the pressure wave from compression travels back from the intake valves to the compressor. Heat of compression is at the port, and the pressure wave causes a big loss of efficiency when it reaches the blower.
Twin screw uses a second rotor to cause compression internal to the compressor so the pressure wave travels to the engine from the compressor.
Lysholm, autorotor, and whipple are the big 3 for TS units, just for reference.
Lysholm bought autorotor so that leaves 2.
And the Nismo isn't worth it as a daily or even just a car. It has a chasis thats been seem welded, a lot of extra bracing. Very well tuned suspension, a few goodies on like exhaust etc. over stock. But the big money is getting a factory backed seam welded chasis. And Brembo's.
