I agree with MightyBobo that AWD with 350hp will eat you up on the street. Take it to the drag strip you should launch better plus you don’t have to worry about going to jail. Racing charge is a class B misdemeanor, with up to 90 days in jail.

Just about any Joe is going to cut a solid 60' with a nicely powered WRX. Probably in the 1.7-1.8 area. And that's barely even trying.

On the other hand, its going to take a fairly good driver to even get sub-2.0 60's in the 370Z.

I guess short story shorter, even at the strip, 350 AWHP is going to eat the 370 to shreds even if the WRX driver half-asses the launch. Guess he could hope for ridiculous turbo lag?

A friend of mind has a 2.5RS with a ej20 and slightly higher boosted turbo, and he lost from a roll on at 60 to an s2K ap1 which just had bolton mods

AWD will launch better than a Z any day of the week

Absolutely true, which is why I traded my WRX in for my Z. With that said,

my WRX w/Cobb 2.5 tuning would smoke the Z off the line like all other cars. An 1/8th mile race wouldn't be close. A 1/4 mile race would probably be neck and neck. Anything beyond that distance the Z would win simply because of the bigger motor has more top end. I can't speak for those who might have a rebuilt or stroked WRX motor.
