the SRT-6 runs a 13.5, while a Z runs a 13.9 hmm does 20-30 thousand deserve that much of a difference?
SRT-6 gets to 60 in 5.1, the Z in 5.5
while your Roadster has worse times.
the SRT-6's engine is ZERO potential. the VE35 is modified mecca, every company has some kind of performance part for the Z, how many have for the SRT-6?
Twin Turboed Z= 0-60 low 4's. 1/4 in 12's.
First and last time to the track I ran 13.2. The G35's/350Z's were all running in the 14's (14.3 being the best time if memory serves).
Zero potential? Not sure what you are smoking. Pulley & ECU will gain 90ft/lbs in the midrange and 40-50hp up top. Very easy to get over 400hp.
It has been over a year since I looked at the 350Z but saw several Turbo'd and SC'd 350Z's were running 5.3-5.6 0-60 and mid-high 13's in the quarter.
Not fair comparing NA to SC? How is it not fair to compare competing cars? So it is not fair to compare a 911 turbo to a Ferrari because one is turbocharged and the other is NA?
Ok, there are more differences than just the engine between the cars. It is up to each individual to decide if the price differential is a factor or not.
