But I've had turbo cars before and have worked on many Mk IV Supras and even they didn't make that power without intake, intercooler, exhaust, AND a boost increase. BPU+++ was good for mid 400's on pump gas. If you wanted 500 and above you needed to swap for a single. And in terms of a road course, I doubt it. All that power and stock tires? Plus the Z out handles it stock...
And im not trying to be fresh, but I've never seen one driven by a man.

There is pretty much no way this won't beat my Z on a road course. I had R-Comps and sway bars, but I guess we'll see.

Now I know a tune frees up around 60who on a stock motor so I say your at like 340-350rwhp. And on a straight line for the 6k difference in price just ask jnaut what he spent on his car running 12.2xx on the 1/4 on street tires. Maybe around 4-5k. And on turns the 135 feels good and I think it's a drivers race but they come with skinny little 255s in the real if I recall. My buddy is making 430ish whp with only 3k into the 135 which is awesome so just enjoy the car both cars are almost equal when considering price difference and money invested (performance wise). The 135 is very confy dd tho.

It's not a true sports car, that's not why I bought it. The lowest boost setting brings it to 360 rwhp, and I can add another 3 psi or so on top of that. It's not a drivers race against anybody that isn't Jnaut...I have no trouble turning out sub 5 second 0-60 times starting in 2nd gear, and 0-100 is right around 10 or less. The Z was lucky to do that in high 11's.
Bottom line is you guys are frustrating me...I am still a loyal Z enthusiast, but I'm just pointing out how disappointing it is that Nissan put such an un-tunable motor into the 370. The car would be awesome if you could pump out 400 rwhp for under a grand. Unfortunately, you can't, and as a result...the 135i has been a much more "fun" alternative to my Z.
