Default 350z ?

When my step mom had a 2000 corvette i had a 00 v6 stang she used to give me hell.she got a job a nissan now,and she wants to utilize her discount and bring home a 350z. Now ive got a 02 gt 5spd flows eibach springs no big deal. Has anyone beat a 350z with a gt, she would tear me up now but i want to know if i have a chance with all the bolt ons. need some stories.

287rwhp stock so no. Maybe from a dig you could get her because im sure yours throws out alot more torque.

I wouldn't say she would walk all over you now,more like a drivers race from a dig.Get some gears and DR's and you will walk all over her.

WTF? The older ones made that to the crank. The newer 05+ make 300 hp/260 tq. Our numbers but inverted. If it's a manual and a newer one it has a slight edge but nothing you can't overcome with good driving. If it's an automatic and you can drive you'll be fine

How do you figure?

Yea...i dont see any stock Z ever putting down 287whp from the factory. I would say maybe more like 260ish.

I raced a stock z and beat. It was probably at my back bumper at about 65 or so (not sure on that it was a while ago). It was an auto though. I would say if you can drive you can probably pull it off.

350z's are not slow stock. But they are by no means "super" fast.

I beat one when I was an even worse driver(few months ago [8D]) and I still dominated him. I guess the Creative Memories sticker on his window just wasn't enough.

They make good power factory... I use to beat them in my bolt on 04' GT without any issues. They seem to have problems putting the power to the wheel, because all the G35 Coupes/350z i've raced or seen race... haven't been very fast. It's a fast car, it may take you - but from my experiance, it may be a drivers race, with her getting the slight edge. I agree with snakeman.. get some gears, tune, and tires and you'll have no issues.
