370z vs ferrari f430

geohartanto · 02-13-2011, 11:49 AM

and speaking of twin turbos. In the GTM website there were 3 types of TT kits listed. One says (tuner), then (turn key), then (set up). what are the differences for all of these. And also they are cheaper than the TT from the Greddy website. So i assume GTM is the better way to go ?

Also a bit of a noob, how will a TT kit affect the driveability (may have just made this word up

) of a 370Z with the 7 speed auto?

Also, I think with the amount of money you would spend to try and make the 370Z faster than the f430, you could probably trade/sell it and buy the 2012 GT-R, which is probably faster than the Ferrari 458 as well.

how much worth of mods does it take for a z to beat a ferrari f430 in say 0-100mph?

I disagree. It think a 370z could be developed into a 430 beater. Just would be very expensive. Extensive lightening, lots of suspension work, huge tires, and ground up turbo build. But your talking $1ooK of work.

My $15k 200 hp Porsche 914 race car had opportunity to chase a 430 all day at Laguna SECA Granted driver wasnt pushing the car to limits but chase footage is still classic. I love it when he dusts me in straights only to have me reel him back in in the more technical sections.

Performance wise, it's more than possible. A lot of what makes a Ferrari so special is the attention to detail and craftsmanship. The thing is, by the time you throw enough mods on the z to match the Ferrari, it will have cost you nearly the same amount considering all the parts and r&d involved.

After reviewing top gear I found that the F430 had a lap time of 122.9 The Z had a time of 127.5. A difference of only 4.6 sec. I think the Z with upgraded everything could perform at the level of the f430

(for less than the price of a Nissan GT-R) on paper at least, the new camaro ZL1 should be able to handle the Ferrari F430, but who knows? there is no performance data for the ZL1 at this time.

Ferrari F430
4.3L V8
483 hp

Camaro ZL1
6.2L V8
550 hp

The OP's question is interesting, though somewhat irrelevant. They are absolutely different cars, built to different standards and targeting to absolutely different markets. For not too much money (relatively speaking compared to an F430;s cost) one could build a early 70's Camaro or Chevelle to beat the Ferrari in 0 to 100. So what?

Attempting to consider the difference between a built (no money limit) 370z and an F430 reminds me of the people who ponder whether Capt. Kirk or Capt. Picard would win in a fight. Interesting (for dorks), but pointless.

Have a great day.

That Camaro has 550( I think that right, it's up there) torque also. My money would be on the Chevy.

Very true. It's kind of like comparing the F430 to the Veyron. Exclusivity also has a premium.

Yup, and no matter what you do the Z will never feel like a Ferrari (if that is also a criteria).
