The VHR hasn't proven to be really any faster YET at the drag strip over a HR powered 350z. I ran the drags last Wednesday (1 week ago) and a 370z was doing 13.9-14.4 while I was doing 13.8-14.1 with 104 mph traps. He also did 101-104 traps. But I had no traction in 1st gear while he did when I saw him launch.

Like many have said, the HR has done 13.1 stock at the strip. It will happen but they are so equally matched that it really comes down to the driver. The 370z right now is not faster than the HR and vice versa.

That being said, put the two together, I think it's very easy to see how outdated the 350z looks. It's a bit of a shocker to even say that, considering how amazingly different the 350 looked when it came out.

You can get into the modding war, but there is very little doubt, the 370 is a better car in every regard. On other forums HR owners will fight until the bitter end stating the 370 is not faster, and basically pick it apart.. In my test drive I noticed a giant leap forward in refinement, while maintaining the essential bare sports car feel I loved about the original 350.

I am always a fan of advancement, even when the REV UP engine came out, I was jealous of it, when it was nearly the same. Too me, there is always very little doubt the newer model wins..

The 350 was a great car, made from a company (Nissan) in not so great financial condition it was an impressive achievement. The 370 works out much of what was lacking in the 350 while still retaining the Z car feel.
