A SC 370z could be as fast as a z06 I really think that if you took a ride in both cars the Z06 would feel faster. The torque alone would make it feel faster than the 370z SC.

I looked at a few dynos and I am not so sure I am agreeing with this anymore. The 370Z with a TT kit (I know, this is about SC...) is pretty strong in the torque department, even down low. I was suprised.

But the stig ran almost a full 3 seconds faster than himself GTR>Z06 I'm not gonna mention that it was almost a second faster than a ZR1 because the track was damp. If you could afford a Z06 spring the 10 grand and get the GTR because the back seat is useful for hauling all that @$$ around in.

A fast Z06 1/4-10.981, a fast GTR 1/4-11.510, a fast GTR w/tune 1/4- 10.928. They have a GTR stock in a straight line but a $300 tuner throws that out the window. The Z06 does look like one angry car tho

Edit: whoever mentioned tires tho on the SC z was probably correct, a pair of DR could be the lynchpin

RCZ nice shot of inside of your car. A friend of mine has a 2006 400hp corvette.
He is putting the 596 hp edelbrock SC on it, Its a tvs 2300. What a nice package.
The RWHP should be 485 to 495 @ 7 lbs . depending on the tune. Now get that SC ported and polished and take it up to 8.5 to 9 lbs it will make an easy 520 rwhp.
That car will easly kill my stage 2 GTM. Total cost just under $9000.00 installed

:tup:To the stig

Very true. But on the other hand, there are also a helluva lot of other cars on the road that would get straight up smoked by a supercharged Z.

By my rough calc the Z06 did 25-125 in 10 seconds. Your 370Z did 55-110 in 7 seconds. Just shows that the Z06 is savagely fast.

Now your talking about a TT witch will alway make more torque than a supercharger.The 370z with a TT makes way more torque that a supercharger. Where talking about a 370z SC here,the torque of the Z06 will push you back in the seat and would make the Z06 feel faster than the SC 370z. The most torque I have seen out of a sc 370z if 350 ish with the GTM SC a Z06 has 400 plus. I have also seen Stock Z06 do mid 11's all day at the track a SC 370z would have a hard time doing that.

I agree. SC 370 < Z06.

TT 370Z vs. Z06, I would like to see.

Now your talking that would be a nice race.

How do you know a sc z would have a hard time doing that? No one has actually gotten their @$$ to a strip yet that has one or at least they aren't telling.

also on the videos if you stop them both at 60mph and stop them both at 110mph they are within a second of each other.

I say the Z06 would win but it wouldn't necessarily "dominate" the z.

Yes they did, they ran 12.8@113 or something. It was the Stillen SC that was tested. The car stock trapped 104. It doesn't have the wheaties to take down a Z06.

^ lol , like that , or the right SC ;-0

The Stillen SC ran a 12.8? @ 113. My 370z 7 AT with bolt ons run 12.800 and traps at 112.7. Lets just say the guy driving the car could have done a better job of driving it.
Im hoping to go 11.7s with my GTM stage 2. The stock torque converter is killing my car and i now have a gtm 2900 to 3200 rpm stall converter. This should take me down to 12.6's with bolt ons. You guys should remember is easy to go fast on the street but its really hard to get a good time at the drag strip. It requires a lot of skill and you have to know your car and how it runs. I have run 13.35 one pass and a 12.80 the next pass.
If you run the 370z and do not let it cool down for an hour it will not run faster, it will go slower on the next pass. Heat just kills the 3.7 engine.
I feel that i would give a stock 400 hp 2006 corvette a good race at the track. It would be a drivers race. My 4.08 gear sets up makes a big difference.
You guys are going to have to wait till May 2011 to see what my GTM stage 2 will run at the 1/4 mile in.
Jnauts 370 z would eat the corvette at the track.

Like to see a vid of Jnauts - any in exsitance?

There Vids of racing a 550 supercharged mustang.

PM me a link would ya

Big time fail comment. As stated, there are NA 370z's doing that and better at the track. The Stillen 370z driver could not drive...

Its in the Drag Section

i do not know how to post the link.
It was very hot and humid that night, my best pass was 13.02.

Z

Well, he ran a mid 13@104 or something in stock form. You can't blame the trap speed on the driver by THAT much of a margin.

Another Z ran a 12.3

Trap speed?

Like I said before the SC 370 WILL be a force at the track WITH supporting mods:

1.5way, coilovers, drag radials, (forgot about 4.08's earlier)

I just dont prefer it since expansion is so limited.

Well, I rolled into 60 and then hit it. You can start counting at 60 not at 55. Its hard to tell because the gearing on the z06 is plain ridiculous, so it is in its powerband in one gear till 90 (second) and then he shifts. I'm slower, but if you take into account 60-100, its not that far off. Like I said, I'm gonna try again soon...probably next week sometime.

Just do a 60-130 and compare it to online numbers. This link shows a stock C6 ZO6 at 7.8 seconds.

I say this because of the dyno numbers that sc 370z are putting out.Rcz car is impressive but you can't just go by a speedo shot. I use to own a sc 350 and my numbers are higher than most of the sc 370z on a old car. You also have to take into account that a z06 traps over 120 all day long.

The gearing of the Z06 also makes it killer on the top end. Holding 4th until around 160mph. The Z won't even do 160 in stock form.

Is that because it is software limited? I have a hard time believing with its power numbers that it can't beat 160. E46 M3s, which have similar power and are heavier, can go around 180 with software limitation removed.

Edit: yes, the 370Z is software limited...

At what distance?
I am sure with a mile long the Z can hit it (160ish).

The 370Z is limited to 155, IIRC, but the CD and the power of the car lead me to belive that it would top out at around 160-165 if it weren't. It has near identical CD to a C5 corvette, and just a touch less power. Those top out at 170mph

^the Z is drag limited. it doesn't have a governor.

^^^ don't think so, I have put mine over 160 on the speedo but I would believe there is a some amount of speedo error past 140. Need a bike next to me next time. Mine hits 150 pretty easily now.

the fuel would cut off if it had a limiter right?

Yes, it would just cut which most who have gone those speeds report it does not.

You are accelerating so slow at that speed that you wouldn't even feel the fuel-cut when it hit.

The car is governed to 157mph.

http://www.caranddriver.com/var/ezfl...61a7a3bb51.pdf

true that i've gone 157-8 and i believe the car is actually limited with the vvel and electronic throttle bodies because it's pulling up to 157 then bam it just stops accelerating. Drive by wire and electronic driver assists have killed the fuel cut. also guys with FI that don't have limiter removed probably won't feel the "cut" either some one car to test this or chime in?

If you remove your governor chip, then you won't have a red line correct?

Stage II GTM SuperCharger ftmfw!
You'll definetly leave them feeling shitty once you smoke em.
lol
How did I lose to a V6?!
Got that whine yooooo!

I just don't think a bolt-on SC 370Z is going to cut it with a Z06.

Yes, you will. The point is that the governor isn't holding the car back from redlining it much at all and is almost a moot point. Rev the engine too high and you will wish you left well-enough alone, lol.
