N/A 370z

Anyone want to fork up $25,000 for this?

500 HP Competition Naturally Aspirated Wet Sump System 4.5L Stroker Engine

BGTV8 · 12-12-2013, 05:52 PM

The European FIA GT4 series 370Z makes ~440 hp with stock internals but different heads.

In the USA, the 370Z RC run by Doran Racing will make similar power. The Grand Sport series permits the cylinder head to be changed (use the HR head and not the VHR head) plus a dry-sump lubrication kit and long-tube headers and low-restriction exhaust (no cats).

These engines run at close to 9000 rpm which is where a lot of the power increase comes from.

Such an engine would not last very long in a road car though.

All I can say to the OP (based on over 40 years of involvement in competitive motorsport as a driver in state and national series, and a volunteer event/series official) if leave the car standard (brake pads and brake fluid apart), learn how to drive quickly (and there is no better place to start than AutoX) and when your times do not improve for two events on the trot, then think about firming up the suspension, then progress to stickier tyres and then when you have 2 events where you are not going quicker, think about a bit more torque (torque wins motorsport events, NOT horsepower).

He probably figured that he gets enough preaching on Sundays and didn't need it here.

OP,

What do you mean by fastest? 1/4 or raw hp? Do you mean stock internal NA or built? Please clarify what you're asking for.

That doesn't make it a good idea. Thet's why we're trying to talk him out of adding power to the car, since it's more car than a new driver should have bone stock.

He's mentioned having a motorcycle too. That's worse.

Pay for it yourself? You need to learn how to drive before you worry about more power. Your parents are irresponsible as hell to have bought you the car they did. The least you could do is make sure you don't end up killing someone else or yourself. Stop worrying about mods yet.

edub370 · 12-18-2013, 10:44 AM

take it easy guys. we were all young once. just cuz he has a z doesn't mean he has to drive dumb.

here i was thinking that buying my z at 23 was young. props

That's why I'm harping on driver education. I'd have been thrilled had I recieved something like a 370 when I was 17. I'd also most likely be dead. Unfortunately teens make bad decisions when driving, and in a fast car that can get you killed.

I still think it's irresponsible for parents to buy teenagers fast, expensive vehicles. Don needs to be the exception, not the rule. Drive like a responsible adult, learn to control the vehicle and for God's sake keep the car nice. You got a $30k car at 16. Take good care of it.
