Hi from Mazdaspeed3

Alexsered · 02-09-2009, 12:31 PM

Hello 370z forum members.

I am in the works to buy a 370z around April, I thought I would get a jump on the forms. I currently own a Mazdaspeed3 and its a pretty sick car for the price, but after 2 years, I'm getting tired for turbo's and FWD. So I'm looking for a simple, RWD, N/A car right now.

I would have considered getting the 350z, but since I am beating them in my mazda when I was stock, I can't justify buying a car I know is slower. But the 370z looks very promising.

Okay, enough of my blabbing on. 2 questions

I'm seeing some crazy HP gains on the internet on this car. for example, 18 whp with just high flow cats, I've went through a bunch of cars, and numbers like that are usually not seen on N/A cars. So is the potential there for these cars to gain some HP, or will it be not noticable

second question, is anybody in the works for a tuning package for this car?

I hope this community is as helpful as the other communities I have been a part of. I look forward to it.

-Alex

Welcome to the community, Alex!

To answer your first question, yes, there is great potential in the 370Z. Just keep in mind that going FI is the easiest way to acquire large gains. As far as a tuning package goes, Cobb should have their access port available for the 370Z soon. People that use the access port have seen decent gains N/A, but like I said, if you want big gains you will have to go FI.

Anyway, that Mazdaspeed 3 looks sharp! I am sure you will not have any issues selling it.

yeah, the market it kind of iffy about used cars, but I'm not in a hurry to sell it, when the right person rolls around, they will buy it

I'm not looking for big power anymore, people can go right ahead and do that, but it comes at an expensive price. I would like to get some intake, exhaust and tunning done. Then I would focus on the suspension.

over 320 whp would be awesome for this car. But I will be happy with just over 300 whp.

^^^ I agree. I think those numbers are attainable as long as you have all of the basic bolt-ons and tune.
