CAI/Tune mods shouldn't make the car any faster then the previous model. The 3v in this car is the same as a 2005-2009 but has a CAI and custom factory tune. So if you swap on a aftermarket CAI and get a custom tune, then you are removing the factory improvements and are in the same position a 05/09 CAI/Tune car is. You might see a 1/10 or so with the track pack, since it can be had with 3.73's and 255 rubber.
Stone, great find! The results were exactly what I was expecting also, but I am suprised that a "buff book" was able to trap 107 in the Z. Could see some of the general public trapping 109.

Rebel, every time I turn around, it seems like there's a new set of wheels out running stock Mach 1 times/traps. I think our cars are quickly becoming the badass' of yesterday. Oh well, I guess thats what the aftermarket is there for!

1. What a disapointment the hyundia is! Thats all you get with 300HP?
2. I'd buy the much cheaper turbo 4 banger hyundia and work my magic on it. That car could be sitting on 400HP in no time! Just imagine a 60 trim turbo and rear wheel drive.
3. The 370 is a badazz machine. Now they can justify the high price tag.
4. The Mustang is solid. Real nice all around performance and extremely impressive handling for a muscle car with the track pack. And probably the best bargain of the group.
5. I want a New V8 camaro!!!!!!!

The new 370Z is impressive... handling is rediculous (the old 350Z pales in the handling department in comparison)... they will be nailing off low 13s / high 12s once the freak drivers get ahold of them. Awesome comeback for the '14 second car' that used to get bashed so badly.

They sound pretty nice too, wonder how wound out they are though (will they take to boost ok? etc...)

Think about stock 5.0's in the late 80's....quick compared to loads of cars..now..not soo much.
In the mid 90's LT1s were fast...not so much now..
When the 4V Cobras came out in '95..same story...just not so much now..
Even new edges were quite respectable their first year in terms of competition...now...we're lumped in as worthless just like the Non-PI 4.6 guys...
