and yes with no internals or nitrous...just full bolts+ gears and slicksi think the 370Z will see a very high 11. i mean theres already a 12.3 on streets...

The problem is the 12.3 is already on FULL bolt ons and in ideal conditions with a great launch. So that extra 3 tenths has to come from the launch. I have a feeling the weakest link in the drivetrain will be found while attempting to go for that 11.90. It is going to have to be done with ET streets on the back and some skinnies up front.

Now, if the rear end can take that kind of abuse, we're in business.

Though Jnaut is working on his rear-mounted turbo setup so I bet when he hits the 11s it's going to be with the turbo.

what is the trap speed on that 12.3 run?

404whp and 401 ft/lbs with muffler delete, intake/tune... not bad eh?

Of course mustangs are good cars ... Thousands and thousands of soccer moms and 50 year old cougars can't be wrong. Don't those things come with a solid axle still?

Dreezy562 · 12-06-2010, 10:07 PM

i think they are ugly too. looks just like the v6 plus 2 lights and a badge. nothing really special about it.. its like. oh look another mustang.. but! to each their own.

Aren't the heads on the VQ37 pretty good to begin with?

So far all the NISMO has proven to us is that it's a 370Z Base + Sport with body kit and marginally better suspension.

You can only get just so much from a 3.7L V6 at a certain RPM with a certain amount of head-flow.

Jnaut has run a 12.30 on an RE-11 tire. He has LTHs, CBE, Stillen G3 (I think), clutch, flywheel, 4.08 gear, probably a pulley and maybe a couple of other things that, IMO, qualify as "bolt-on." That's with a 1.8s 60'.

IF he can run a MT ET Street without shattering the rear end, snapping an axle, or delaminating the driveshaft, I think he could dip into the high 11s on a 1.6x 60'.

I'd say the heads are pretty well optimized but we'll never know for sure until someone cracks VVEL.

if modded Z's start beating modded 5.0's on the drag strip, ford is doing something wrong.

maybe modded vs stock 5.0...but after mod vs mod the no way. The 5.0 is a fawking caged beast...

111mph which is indicative of an 11sec pass

But only just. With a 1.6 60' you might be able to run an 11.9x with a 111 trap.

GZ3 · 12-07-2010, 09:30 AM

his highest trap is 113

Yep, it usually works that way. Your lower traps will be on your lower ET runs. Higher traps will be on the higher ET runs relative to the performance of the car, of course.

Jeffblue · 12-07-2010, 09:36 AM

so those times are with the Z getting a good launch?

Yep, J is getting a 1.8 60' which is very impressive on a street tire (RE-11) and his 1/8 is very quick. That run is basically all launch and really quick shifting to finish it off down the track.
