Doesn't seem like it should be light years ahead of the 350.
I'm not a huge Z fan for their straight line performance and would think the same thing. But the magazines and Z owners would have you believe they are low 13 second cars right out of the box????

I've never actually raced but according to my dyno numbers. I should run 8s on street tires.

Exactly. That's why I like to go down to the strip and watch. By the end of the night you'll have a good idea what average joe is gonna do behind the wheel.

Like I said... I've owned both and my Z was quicker. The Z's problem though is that it's limited in how much power you can make while staying NA. I had just about every bolt-on possible and only made 40 rwhp more than stock. An S197 3V makes 40 rwhp with just a tune, cat-back and an intake.

40rwhp from a n/a 6cyl is pretty damn impressive in my opinion...thats alote actually...us new edge guys r lucky to get a extra 35rwhp with full bolt ons...i heard the 350z dont even respond to bolt on mods tho.

Uh wut? A cat back does practically nothing for these cars. Unless we're talking about removing the cats entirely and having just a straight midpipe. An intake and a tune is not gonna come even close to netting 40rwhp.
on the highway my Lincoln LS beat a orange 2003-2004 350Z by a 1/2 car... race was like 60-120/130MPH, plate read "MNSTRZ"... thought it was funny
IDK, with my stock lincoln running 14.7 @ 98MPH on a 2.4 60ft, I'd say a Z's straight line performance leaves something to be desired for a "sports car"
back when I owned my basic bolt on automatic 2V the 2003-2006 Z's were pretty much fodder for it and I was making 24XRWHP... 10 less than the OP
an older Z is not going to be faster than a 3V GT... sorry
