Z35 motor theory

Just today i pass an altima 3.5ser, just going around a slower car and all of a sudden he guns it with his 3 or 4 passengers and paases me looking over at me. Its those altima race car commercials, every altima even the 2.5 are now faster than the z even loaded down.

The world is dumb!

Lol wut?

FPenvy

this makes zero sense. obviously he will pass you if he guns it and you dont. BUT the altima is not faster than a Z loaded down or not.



put your right foot down hard and come back to report the results.

Not necessarily. Altimas (6mt) are just as quick as a 350z (non hr) especially an 07+ Altima (revised 2nd gen vq35de with a much better top end). I agree, against a 370z it cannot hang, but with a few mods they move. Don't under estimate them, especially a 6spd version. I used to have an 08 3.5se and miss that car.

well obviously i was talking about a 370Z since thats what we all pretty much have and it's called the370Z.com lol

they dont stand a chance against a 370Z period.

lets go with 2015 specs:

Altima 4 door: 182HP - 3191lbs
370Z automatic version: 332hp - 3320lbs

anyone wanna do a HP/weight ratio on that?

If your going to be techinical, you said 'a Z' last I checked 'a Z' didn't equal 370z only. You should clarify your blanket statements.

Secondly a 2015 altima v6 is 270hp but paired with a CVT. Still no chance, agreed. A 6mt 07-09 v6 with intake, exhaust, and tune will keeping up with a stock 370z until 80 given equal drivers. Stock for stock, however, no chance. It's clear you don't know anything about those cars, except 'they have no chance'. Flame away.

FPenvy

first i do know about these cars and plenty more than you trust me.

i was quoting a guys comment who has a 370z so its quite obvious i wasnt talking about a 350.

and even the V6 version of an altima with 270HP is 3440lbs. still HP/weight ratio is not in its favor again.

again in the quote i was commenting on i highly doubt the altima in his story was a 6mt with bolt ons and a tune.

you are going out on a limb that wasnt the reason for my original comment.

now as for you 07-09 6mt bolt on and tuned altima i will happily smack one around and prove it still aint shit to a 370Z with bolt ons and tune

please fully read comments with the statement being quoted before coming at me about my comments which are correct and factual.

i will win everytime

I had a 3.5, they are very fast for what they are but, that cvt has mushy faux gear changes and you can't do a tight 90degree turn at high velocity. The suspension is 350z firm and stable at high speeds. A great straight liner. But it's far from a Z. This is my issue right here. We would all like the Z to increase in performance, but I don't want it to become an American style muscle car to do it. There is no na/v6 outperforming the Z. Be proud of that. When the Z goes turbo, and you read the stats, yall will go fanboy again.
