E92 m3s are a joke. My friend has one and on 6psi (456whp) andi leave him like he is standing still. BTW someone plz beat my 127mph trap speed = )

Most stock E9X M3s put down around 335-350whp and 250-260ftlbs. Add in the extra weight, and it's an even match for a full bolt on 370Z. Add forced induction to the Z or G, and it will not be close.

have you guys seen a supercharged e92 m3? those things are ******* beasts.

sorry for bringing the e92 comparison back up, just thought i'd mention it cause i've always thought highly of the m3 motors.

= ) well I'm getting a retune so I'm hoping to go over 130 before they close the track by me.

Sad thing is I got a ride in a tuned/intake M3 a couple nights ago and it felt as fast as my car with the SC.

Run against it and see

I think that's just a matter of perspective (i.e. being in the passenger seat). I always feel like cars are stronger from the passenger seat. For example, in my STi, I felt like my 460WHP map was totally manageable from the driver's seat, but when I let other people drive it, it felt way stronger and was a bit scary.

BTW, what are you getting post-370?

well said, couldn't agree more. however, dct equipped M3 traps close to 115 and they are pretty fast up top. a supercharged 370z and a m3 would be a good race.

not a bad idea, but Im on heavy 20's now since I sold my volks and the partout is next week.

It was a big surprise, I did not expect it to pull so hard.

Come on down the tracks are open year round.

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.

I think I have to disagree with you. You can get the traction control system, that will take care of the planting and all. My friends vette in all honesty doesn't really plant any better then mine does. He slides his *** out just as much as i can. Now maybe because he is modified but he has maybe like 75 more ponies to the wheel then me.

...and a ton more torque and a lot different power-band.

Can you floor your car and go WOT on good pavement without spinning? I can. TC off.

Just because an electronic nanny prevents you from spinning the tires by limiting power doesn't mean your car is handling the power efficiently. It just means it can't handle the power. The 370Z needs a LOT of change to handle it.

i have to disagree. coming from Evo and M3 i feel Z's stock gearing is way too tall. i raced an older cts-v once on highway it literally took forever to get out of 4th gear. hence why 4.08 equipped Z accelerate noticeable faster.
