My 370z vs 08 Evo X vs z06
 

So, my buddy just bought a used 08 Evo X and we were talking about how our cars would do in a quarter mile drag race. My 370z is all stock and his Evo X is all stock. I know that I am putting 280whp and 232wtq. From some research, a stock Evo X is only putting down 230whp. I think I would pull on his Evo. What do you guys think?

My other buddy has a 2001 Corvette z06 that is all stock and is putting down 318whp and 318wtq. He wants to run too. We'd be hooking up at a track pretty soon.

Factory performance figures for the 405 hp (302 kW) version of the Z06 give an acceleration time from 0-60 mph as 3.9 seconds. Owner-drivers have reportedly achieved quarter-mile times of 11.7[2][3] and 11.85 [4]seconds. Car and Driver recorded 1/4 mile times of 12.4 seconds for the 405 hp (302 kW) Z06 and 12.7 seconds for the 385 hp (287 kW) Z06 In their December 2002 issue. Quarter mile drag times are a result of multiple factors including "Driver Skill" or "Driver Aggressiveness" (gear shift timing and optimum shift points) which account for variations in timings. The Z06 is capable of matching or besting the 0-60 acceleration times of some of the world's premier sports cars, including the BMW Z8, Ferrari 360, and Porsche 911 Turbo (Type 996).

Don't think you will beat the Z06....Thats a fact jack. I think I might be able to rip him a new one though :)

Get FI than play with z06
But at the track if ur evo friend can launch and shift well its gona be tough to pull on him

You might be a cvnt hair faster than the Evo in a straight line (actually, Top Gear bested the Evo around the track too), but the Vette will probably kill you by up to a full second.

the Z06 will smoke you both. You should be able to take the Evo if you get a good launch.

It seems that we may have a 4th contender. Another buddy has the older gen Mustang 5.0 who wants to run with us. Its getting interesting.

5.0 should lose if its bone stock..i highly doubt it stock though..

IMO the 370Z and evo will be close on take off cuz of the 4x4 exo and the 370z should pull about half way do to more overall HP, im guessing 3rd. the evo might have a little better take off.

the fast back 5.0 stands no chance against either of you. look at the 3rd generation and the last line. they were rated at 225 but downgraded:

like wishihadnav said...IF he is stock he will lose. you should still be ok if he has bolt ons. I guess you'll find out yourself.

good luck :tup:

You'll have the EVO

you should be pretty even with the EVO X, the corvette no, get some NOS and maybe :P

it'll be a good test of skill, make sure you capture it on video, and hopefully it'll entice you to start modding your stock Z :P

Just pray when he said he was "stock" that he's being 100% honest because he could be tuned and you'd never know (until you raced him).

Have the GF or wife shake her bootie at the tree at them and you'll be fine. Like others said...... Z06 forget about it and hope the rest are "Stock".

Ranger is the guy that did 11.7 in a bone stock 405-hp Z06. That dude is insane.

Pray z06 driver falls asleep.

From what I've seen the z06 will smoke you if he knows how to drive his car. However, the c5 z06's weren't the most dominant car of their time. The 2003-2004 Mustang Cobra with minimal mods smoked it badly and consistently.

The z06 will smoke you and look metal doing it. You'll be able to take the Evo unless it has a few mods or a tune -- though I doubt anyone would bother getting tuned with no mods, so you are probably safe.

Intake, exhaust, pulley, and tuned Cobra would probably lose to a full exhaust intake and tuned c5z06, depends on the driver and pulley size/aggressive tune for Cobra...

All kinds of people run Evo's with just tunes. The X can make well over 300 WHP with just a tune.

You'll probably tear the Evo a new one from a roll, but watch while he spends $500 on an AccessPort and rips you a new one in return a week later. lol

I have owned all of the cars you are discussing, an Evo, a 2004 z06, and I currently have a z. My evo had a tune and exhaust, and from a dig it would probably have raped my z. The Z06 I had cammed, exhaust, injectors, tune and a little go juice, but even when it was stock, It would for sure have taken the z. The only chance you have would be to hope the Evo driver doesnt drive very well. The z06 wont even be a good race, especially if he had some decent tires. In all honesty, the Z really isnt a very fast car. :driving:

I can't comment from a dig, but I've had no problem with an exhaust Evo X from a roll, it wasn't even a drivers race since it was an MR Evo (paddle shift). All in all I must agree, the Z isn't the greatest drag car in stock form. Bolt on's help but if you want a straight line fast car buy the new mustang or camaro.

20-45 in 370=2.8 sec (in 2nd gear)
20-45 in 400HP C6=2.2 (in 2nd gear, 1st was 1.8 or 1.9, depended on traction)
20-45 in EVO X with just a flash=2.6 sec (in 2nd gear)

#'s are nice but I'm telling you I took the Evo by almost 3 cars from mid 2nd gear through the end of 4th. This was when I was still stock, now it wouldn't be a race I'd even take part in. Besides a few guys I chat with at the local car scene all say that the Evo X is a reliability nightmare. The car wasn't meant to handle large increases in power for long periods of time without an extensive build. One guy who made about 400whp broke 3 driveshafts, now that sucks.

Ill let you guys decide from these links but im certain the 370z will win fairly easily with a good take off i only see it being close on take off, after second the evo will fall back.

:shakes head:

Stock for stock, I think I should be able to take the Evo X. We are both similar in driving skills. The z06 will be a different story, but I would still like to try it.

The Z06 will be fun. It sounds and looks great as it sprints away.

Reminds me of the time I ran an M6 at the track. Oh man that was lovely. :tup:

I ran an Evo 8 in my Trans Am a while back. From a dig they refused to go, lol. Wanted it from a ROLL!

I put busses on that car.

Dunno how they compare to the X's though.

I drove a 370Z and it felt a little slower than my WS6 did. maybe it was just due to having no torque. Either way, it felt good, but a HAIR slower I thought. I am pretty sure the Z06 is going to kill you.

Launching an AWD car isn't as easy as it sounds. I think you will take the Evo. The Z's have no torque and wide-tires. As long as you let the clutch out properly I would think it is pretty spin-proof so after you get rolling, ur G2G.

The 5.0 will need forced induction or larger displacement or weight reduction or a stalled auto to get into the 12's by much.

The most powerful NA 302 I have seen on the street is around 320whp. Keith Craft and I discussed it at length back when I had my '88GT.
