So I drove a 600 hp tt Z .. supposedly..
 
Hey everyone, I just thought I'd share some pics from the weekend trackday...

The silver Z that I drove around is a Fully built TT track car... The thing is on rails, I am in love with hoosiers...

If you ask me, it felt more like 400hp...but thats just me...the owner claims 600. Either way I must say I am, once again, extremely impressed with the capabilities of the 350Z... I really had a blast and this has only made me want to get the 370z all that much more.

600hp at the wheels or crank ? cause a 350z with 600whp on the track is pretty scary . btw who built the car ? how many lbs of boost ?

nogoodname 12-22-2008 07:28 PM

600....interesting


whats up with that really ugly spoiler on the silver Z ??? totally looks like junk on the trunk

AK370Z 12-22-2008 07:52 PM

Looks like you had tons of fun over the weekend. The cars look great. That silver Z is almost identical to my Z. BTW, this is :drool:

Who built the Z? Forged?

That's totally your opinion. It's Nismo Replica V1 spoiler. I like it quite a bit.

^^ true, not everyone likes the same thing......looks weird to me...lol

Endgame 12-22-2008 08:16 PM

Pretty cool RCZ. And you did not even wreck the Z like the guy who wrecked the GT2!! Well done.

18rgcelica73 12-22-2008 08:51 PM

Even 400hp would get kinda scary if really set up right. I mean scary in a good way.:icon17:

Namir 12-22-2008 10:27 PM

:drool:430 challenge....

18rgcelica73 12-22-2008 11:08 PM

^ Yeah now that would be a wicked car to drive around any track.

LiquidZ 12-22-2008 11:09 PM

Pretty sweet cars.

Slidefox 12-22-2008 11:10 PM

Looks like you had fun!!!

M.Bonanni 12-22-2008 11:37 PM

It could have been 600hp. Cars always feel slower on the track than they do on the street because everything else around you is moving quickly too. Or, if you had any heat issues the ECU could have been pulling timing to where you really did only have 400whp at that time. :)

370z 12-22-2008 11:43 PM

Wicked !

bigdog1250 12-23-2008 12:47 AM

Wow great pictures. To me that silver Z's engine does not look capable of 600hp, the orange one seems possible though. And I like the idea behind the Nismo spoiler, however it looks like **** from the rear, if they tweaked it to look more like the Porsche GT2 spoiler (which I think they were going for) it would look like pure sex.

Hopefully someone will make a closer replica of the GT2 spoiler for the Z someday.

shumby 12-23-2008 12:57 AM

nice pic and thanks for sharing your experiance. keep us ipdaded on your track days man love the pics.

Crash 12-23-2008 04:47 AM

The wider the track, the slower you feel! :)

Try running that car on a 1 lane road with nothing but wheat fields on either side of you! It will definitely feel faster! :D

What does it need to "look" capable of 600hp? More shiny stuff? :)

TT kit and built motor is all you need to be capable of 600hp.

18rgcelica73 12-24-2008 11:03 AM

^ Only bling can get you that much powa

o0javi0o 12-24-2008 01:04 PM

In Love with the M3 and the 430.
God! 600 on a 350z in the track that would be a very interesting machine to drive. :)

RCZ 12-24-2008 06:31 PM

No problem guys, I love sharing pics of trackdays. The F430 Challenge was nice for sure...there was a 360 Challenge too that caught fire.

As far as the HP... that car definitely doesn't have the claimed HP... I mean...it had really nice top end, but down low it was getting destroyed by porsche turbos and gt3s... Once the z got into the corners though there was no catching it unless they also had race tires..

I only took pictures of the cars immediately around our area of the paddock, there were a LOT of nicer cars...next time I'll get more pics. Apparently you guys wont have to wait so long till next time since the next event is on the Jan 3rd. If it doesn't get canceled, lots of pics coming hehe.

I can post pics of older trackdays too by request :D

Possibly some HD video too :)

That sounds like textbook Greddy twins to me. Never felt turbo lag before? :) That is a prime example of people paying too much attention to peak horsepower vs. powerband. Who cares how much power it makes if it only makes it between 5k and 7k rpm. :)

18rgcelica73 12-26-2008 01:07 PM

^Very true, peak power makes no difference to me if I don't have the power all over the band. You will find that often in drag racing the lower powered cars with a much nicer and more refined power band beat the snot out of the really high powered cars with a horrible power band.

I used to have a GT35R on my STI, before I got the 30R... I know what lag is hehe.

Yeah I didnt like that setup all that much...

Damn... That viper got MANGLED! WTF happened?

o0javi0o 12-26-2008 06:32 PM

Love the GT2..... so sad to see it with the new crash aerodynamic design.....

18rgcelica73 12-27-2008 03:17 PM

Wow losing a lot of very nice cars that really sucks. You know I really like how the GT-R is designed but should have been a manual transmission to begin with, I love a challenging car to drive.

Slidefox 12-27-2008 04:23 PM

Damn.... poor Viper!!

these offsets make me cry.

SnakeBitten 12-27-2008 04:54 PM

The pics of the GT2 and Viper makes me cry. At least it wasnt an ACR. Surprised I didnt see any Z06's. Usually I see at least one in most track pics.

RCZ 12-27-2008 08:39 PM

There were like 10 Z06s there...
