370Z = old technology?

brucelidat

I thought the v6 Camry and Altima were faster than the Accord. At least they used to be back when I bought my last car (07 altima v6)

accords are slow, always have been and always will be, but that wont stop some kid who put a fart cannon on his accord from telling you otherwise

nmjaxx9

isnt that right, but I see it as they are car guys like us to I guess, so I cut em slack.

I had a 2000 Prelude that was pretty fast for FWD. I only had intake,header,exhaust + good driver = faster than 350Z,s2000,g35. Not as fast as STI or EVO but that prelude h22 in an accord can do damage.

I hope you are being sarcastic because with your list of mods, there is no way in hell your little prelude is faster than any of the cars you mentioned.

i call BS on the s2k
maybe the 350z and g35 if they had the old DE engine but if it had the VR engine, the 350z would smoke you 5 times over
maybe the 350z with the DE engine but that really isnt an accomplishment, the 3.5 altima and maxima would smoke a DE 350z


some are and some arnt, the ones who are car guys know what their car can and can not take(and i respect that), and there are ricers who will tell you bs, like this one ricer i met, he said his v6 mustang will trap 115mph in 1/8mile and he has 500-700hp depending on if he had his turbo turned on or not(true story btw, we made fun of him all night)

s2000 iS lacking torque stock. If any of those cars were modified theres no chance for my "little Prelude" but believe it or not my $1000 smsp header made that H22A engine very nice and i wasnt even tuned.

and yes I'm talking about the older DE engines.

luigi90210

i dont know much about the s2k personally but i know that's a fairly quick car(not as quick as an mr2 though)

untuned for those mods you wouldnt see much gains, maybe 12whp but i dont think that would be enough to smoke a 350z even the older DE models(but its not impossible)

are you talking straight line or track?

So VVEL is considered as old school technology now?

Variable valve timing, lift, and all it's variations, is not new technology by any stretch of the imagination. If the next gen Z car does not have direct injection, it will definitely be considered old technology.

Ya... ??

tell me how your fwd prelude with those mods, making anywhere from 160-170whp, weighing just shy of 3000 lbs (ya i researched quite a bit) beats a 350z which makes ~100 more hp AND is RWD AND weighing only 200 lbs more... or the s2k which is rwd AND makes about 50whp more AND weighs slightly less than a prelude....
