Yeah the new GT has 300HP at the crank(engine). You are gonna lose some power getting it to the wheels.

oh, to add more to the list...

miatas, lancers (not evo), RS's (wrx's will lose to us in a longer race too), legacy gt's.....i have beat an rx-8, but from what i hear, they are very fast but take a very good driver to make them reach it....so i wouldnt count on us being faster than every rx-8 on the street, pretty much it goes from dirver to driver

Press papers say GTs pull 300, but I'm not sold. They don't feel like it seat of the pants. Crank means the HP coming out of the motor. Once the tranny, driveshaft, diff, and rubber dig in it'll be less than what comes out of the motor.

Echo.

why do ppl think 350zs are so damn fast? Ive yet to see a stock one run better than 14.4 in real life here, and that guy was damn good at driving. Most of the stock ones run high 14s, or low 15s. Even with heavy heavy mods, they barely run low to mid 13s, and thats with a damn good driver.

Just compareing it to our V6ers.

myfriend has a G35, basically identical to the 350Z, and i was ahead for hte first 3 gears, when i hit about 120km/h, he was beside me and then continued to pass me

my friend has an 04 g35 coupe, headers, intake, tune, exhaust, and 305 tires out back, and his best time is 14.9. He spent 33k on his car, including my mods im at 23500. 10k less, and im almost a full half second quicker.

Those cars take a serious driver to get the power down right, otherwise u spin, or bog. Thats what happens when u dont have torque to match/exceed ur HP

That is pretty impressive!! And good news too. So is it a safe statement to say this. Our cars are fast OFF the line or from a DIG and can take many other cars. But on the freeway its a different story all together. Which is fine. Because most people that want to race me are always at a red light revving their engines. i do not race them because I do not know if I could win and plus its not safe. But it is nice to know that my car is powerful at least. 210 HP just does not sound powerful. But I guess that is where the torque comes in right?

So what if a nissan maxima will ride me. I could beat him from a dig. I think lol

Oh and just out of curiosity...what would an 04 gt vs. an o5 v6 from a dig be like?

in stock form, i wouldnt race any japanese v6, not even a sentra SER 4 banger.
