so basically the 370z can't run a 10sec 1/4 mile because it will break if it has enough hp/grip to actually do so?

The 370z most definitely can do it. It's just that no one has really tried yet.

Did the axles change between 350 and 370?


Berto had to go stage 5 to get to 11.2

550 rwhp is pretty much the brink for where street tires will actually grip effectively, and even that is a stretch. so in order to put down any more power you need slicks or drag radials... but with slicks/drag radials, people grenade their axles. so basically a 1000hp 370z can barely run a better time than a 500whp z?
so that leaves you with the choice of going slow because of tire spin, going slow because your car is stock, or blowing up your axles.... sounds awesome.

Sounds like the standard set of choices for almost every car in the price range
