how fast is FI'ed Z and satisfaction - part 2

ImportConvert · 10-27-2011, 08:11 PM

Every video I see of 400+ whp 370Z's is a blatant reminder that the car is only meant to have 300whp or so. They can't keep it planted, they shift it like a dump-truck because the short gearing makes that redline come up so FAST at that power level, etc. etc. etc.

If you want a 400+whp 370Z that's going to compete with a 'vette in the power department, you have a TON of work to do. The ENTIRE driveline has to be re-done. Not just the engine/power production aspect.

Not hating as I plan on trading for a '12 when they come out for various reasons discussed elsewhere, just observing, now that I own a 450whp car that was MADE to have 450whp. It's a totally different ballgame than some "tuner" car that suddenly has 150% the power it used to.
