I don't know about them being a 13 sec car. The fastest I have ever seen 1 run is 14.3@96 with a 2.0 60ft. They only dyno in the 240 range with the manual. I beat one bad from a roll in my 04 GT auto. It ran 13.8@101 with my mods. I put at least 3 cars on the one I ran with that car. An auto mach runs at least 13.80s.

 

i thought 350z's were meat for 99-04 GT's and no contest for Machs.....

 

You have about 40lb-ft more torque and 23 hp more than him (the track editions have 300hp). He also weighs close to 250 lbs lighter than you. I still think that you have more of an advantage than him. From a dig you should have the edge. I have the G35 and because of IRS it's hard to launch them. From a roll I surmise that it would be closer. In the end you should win although it'd be closer than people think.

 

The older ones were running 14 flat as tested. the new ones have 300 crank hp. they are a little heavier I think and actually, they arent much lihgter than the mustang.

 

Stock for stock 350Zs are fair game for a 99-04 GT...

I wonder just how many times I've said that.

06 350Z weights:

350/Enthusiast/Tour/Track/Grand
Manual transmission 3,339 3,346 3,400 3,370 3,404
Automatic transmission N/A 3,344 3,380 N/A 3,391
Weight distribution 53/47 53/47 53/47 53/47 53/47

MT equipped cars make 300/260 hp/tq
AT equipped cars make 287/274 hp/tq

Just keep in mind that the Tour/Track/Grand models will outhandle the living hell out of any 99-05 GT... that's the main reason the car is built with a near perfect 53/47 weight distribution.

 

The 350Z has been driven to solid 13 ETs, it's been documented. How fast is an auto Mach 1? How much will a cold air intake and tune help? I still believe the Mach should prevail, but if the 350Z driver knows what he's doing then it shouldn't be a cakewalk.

 

Hes gonna get you if you miss a shift...no you have an auto... as long as its in D you got it

 

Put me in with those who say it should be close, but I'd give the Mach I the edge. Race him from a dig if at all possible...
