I was being sarcastic when I said I "beat up on" the Z. Which is why I wrote "(edged out)" right after that. The Z was usually at my bumper to about 90 when we would shut down.

The Z was a stick and I don't believe he sucked at driving because the results of our 10mph punches were pretty consistent. Note that my car weights a tad under 3100lbs, so I have a 250-300lb weight advantage. Combine that with 3.73's and a strong low end for those low speed punches, I believe the results make sense.

If you're questioning my '83 making 210rwhp, thats fair. I have not had it dynoed since recent mods. The car made 190rwhp with just a dual exhaust conversion. Since then I've added a few mods; Edelbrock Intake Manifold(big SOP difference), UDP's and 1-5/8 headers(replaced the crimped stock '87+ I was running). I'm guessing I'm close to that mark.

Anyways, the HR Z's have gotten into the 13.1x's w/ a good number seeing 13.3-40's. They've got about a 350lb weight advantage, though. Gearing may factor in as well, not sure what G37's have out back.

I've seen a 13.3 slip posted on G37 forums. I also saw a slip of a guy running 12.9 stock with D/R's.

Whats the difference in rwhp?

210 sounds about right for your car. I've had some pretty good luck against the older 350Zs and G35s with my car, but I guess the cam really helps on the top end.
