The Brembo package GT is the equivalent of the Sport package 370. Over the base GT it has the better brakes and then the spring rates and shocks are stiffer.

If you do a comparo IMO it has to be Sport 370 vs. Brembo GT, simply because the base GT is NOT tuned for handling at all unlike the base Z. Sport vs. Brembo GT handling will be almost equal. Base vs. Base the 370 has a clear advantage.

Obviously from the 370 perspective you want to race the base GT. But if you are really trying to do an honest comparison it has to be Sport 370 vs. Brembo GT. That's really the only way.

i just hope the right car with at the very least a decent driver steps up, dont need another convertible, auto review on the 370Z's dock

Hi Guys,
Please have someone step up. We would like to have a car with mods that would make it a fair fight with the 5.0. We are considering dropping the 0-100-0 in favor of a slalom or figure 8 race. This would make it more of a drivers competition. If you or someone you know is interested. Please email me directly at theforumwars@gmail.com.
Thanks,
Paul

what kind of exhaust/bumper is this?

m4a1mustang 12-23-2010 09:52 PM

Zele bumper with a custom Zele-style quad-tip exhaust. :tup:

Yep fully custom exhaust :tup: GTM can reproduce the exhaust but... the tips alone are $500 (Agency Power GTR Titanium Tips) We should have vids of the exhaust starting in Jan ;) If you hear it you will want the exhaust hehehe :happydance:

I could justify the bumper but the zele exhaust price is a little overkill. How much is does GTM reproduce the exhaust for?

ps. sorry for the threadjack

Why don't they run a v6 stang against the Z? They had no problem running some POS 350 against a GT500 lol. And the 370 was already out that year (if that was last year). What a joke.

They didn't run a 350 against a GT500. They ran it against a Shelby GT which is basically an 05-09 GT with some suspension tweaks. The cars were more evenly matched than you would think. The 350 driver was lacking, though.

If I remember correctly The 350 was also slapped together something like the week of the competition, not time to tweak at all.

Well, my guess is the 350 would have faired better if the guy driving the Mustang also drove the 350.

Give Sam a call over at GTM :tup: my guess around $2~3k range but really it's up to GTM since this was a custom exhaust for this bumper. We had to trim the exhaust outlets in the bumper to make it fit. Lol you would never know though ;)

Too late, none of you 370 guys stepped up so they picked a lightly modded 350z.
