Not exactly a mazda 3 anymore lol. With it's modifications it is definitely going to destroy almost any 370z.

God that thing sounds good ... wish they had a clip of the car at idle. I love the sound of those 20b 3rotors

I've always wished they would have made the sedan the MazdaSpeed version instead of the hatchback.

Love the sound but given the same set up with the Z the playing field would be neutral even....????

I'm assuming he means this 3 vs a stock Z. Which is sad...

Z with equal funding/modding would "own" said 3. So it matters not...

I was expecting a street car with a quarter track vid of one beating a 5.0 or something. RC vs stock Pointless comparo. There's a difference of $100,000 between the cars. that's like saying Z owned by ZR1.

Shamu comparo thread, higher trim racing version vs. lower trim racing version = apples-to-apples.

But I might buy a Mazda3 soon, so I can try and set up a drag session with it and my Z.

Ok show me any 370 z that would have a chance against this car on track? I ain't seen one. No porky Grand Am car would have a chance. Please please post a 370 z that could take this little screamer on? ... Sigh

Give me $100,000, why do you seem to adamant against the 370z? Trolling? You do realize all it takes to make a car go faster is money and people/yourself to work on the car.

BTW, I bet these SuperGT GT500 Z's could take that thing on like no problem.

The problem why you do not see GT500 class 370z's is just quite stupidly simple. Why would Nissan use the 370z as a base when the GT-R pretty much covers the GT500 class already? Though this year, the Lexus SC430 cars are freaken quick. As for the GT300 class, the races are less about competition and more about advertisement of cars.

Dreams as opposed to reality. Still stand by my original premise. Takes a lot more than $100k to make a car that well prepped.
