Benca, whats up buddy!? On the rocks with the ISF now?

A 370z and the ISF are two very differenct cars! Your ISF is going to be very "engineered". The one thing I didn't like about it was that in sport mode the transmission would change gears randomly up and down, seemed like it was referencing the TPS a little too much. The Z, with the manual tranny, is going to be a very responsive, function built machine with a very sporty ride comfort level. If you want a quiet "luxury" ride with all the bells and whistles the ISF is it! If you are looking for a lightwieght machine with brakes, steering, gas, etc. the Z is the way to go...purpose built! When I get on the throttle with my Z, it doesn't *%&# around! You add the S/C and you will be putting the Corvette where it belongs...

Sorry to see you leave T/W, wish you could keep the Taco too!

I feel wider tires do not help.(305's) I still can't keep traction from 1st-3rd. Be prepared to do a lot of feathering...lol

I have an ISF and an NA 370z. Some quick input... The ISF is a very different car given 4 doors and 4 seats. The ride is slightly stiffer on the ISF than a 370z with stock suspension. The ISF has a higher quality interior but the 370z is fine. The ISF prob has more cache with folks outside of your select friends that tune cars vs a 370Z with SC. ISF accelerates like a mother and is actually pretty fun to drive on a track to, but the SC 370Z will beat it. One downside, the ISF feels like a much bigger car. Another might be looks - but that's up to you. Overall, for a DD, I'd probably get the ISF, esp if you carry passengers. For a track or occasional track car, the 370Z.

So, Travis, are you going FI?

Hey Mike. Wouldn't check this thread if I wasn't at least thinking about it

If I ever did, I'd look for the most torque and least HP gain for classing purposes. And I don't need a lot more power... I'd be fine with 370-380whp, and a reliable setup. Generally, the advice I am getting is to stay NA and aim for 350whp. I'm not sure that is attainable, however, so that's why I continue to follow this thread. That and the drama! haha

hey thank you so much for the reply......and help .. what are the 0-60 times for the z with sc?????

and yeh im still debating a ton .. as dad said that we have a meeting next week in torrance about a gs-f ..... so will have to see what happens with that at our next dealer meeting ....... and yeh i know all about the is-f as I drive one everytime we order one and have had 4 come back on lease from 08

Mike · 06-21-2010, 09:41 PM

I don't think anyone has done a 0-60 on the stillen Z yet, but if you can wait a couple months, there are several magazines testing it. the thing is, if they test it tomorrow, you probably won't see the article for 3-4 months.

Mike · 06-21-2010, 09:30 PM

OK, so I should have taken a picture, but pulling out the i-phone on the runway when you are lined up for takeoff is kind of frowned upon at my airline, but I laid over at John Wayne saturday night. I left Sunday morning and as we taxied into position, I could see a big red 'Stillen' on the building on the right side of the runway. I will get a pic next time from the cockpit, as thats pretty damn cool, and I'm going to SNA a couple times in July.

That being said, I was all ready to sell my 370 and get the new 25th anniv. M3, of which they are only making 30. I figured if I sold the Z I would only have to finance 50k, and its an extremely limited production. I might have even kept the Z, bought the M and resold it. But, they were only taking orders over the phone at 1130 today and I was in the air, so........ This supercharger is looking better and better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(I am screwed) I went to Zdayz last year Zless for the first time, had a 240Z for a few years after the 350, saw the 370 in the flesh for the first time and bought mine the day after I came home. Its only a matter of time for the SC, as its in my mind, and there is no reversing it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just got to figure out when! (and get a test drive)

It wouldn't hurt to increase your sump or modify your cooler

Alcohol/water mist is a great option also for on the spot cooling, there are a couple different ways to install/use it. Won't fix your specific problem but when your rolling with a boost its great.

Hey Mike,
I thought you were never going to go F.I. again?

You're right NA is more fun! j/k

thats what I said before FI on the vette too!

0-60 is a meaningless figure. Soon the only way to get a sub-3-second 0-60 will be to have tank treads on your car. Much more interesting will be the 1/4 mi time and speed with the SC.
