well today was my first run in with a 350z. mine is all stock and im guessing so was his. we were cruising at about 45 mph and then he sped up and slowed down so i did the same. we did 3 honks and we took off. we stayed head to head for a while then he gave up.

idk...doesnt sound right, no offense i'm not marking it as b/s but the 350's are pretty quick cars. i've been trying to find one to match up with one but i dont want to get spanked... i mean its a 280+ v6....the only thing we would have on it is weight...idk though if you did that well then i've gotta try now to see how i'd do

you must be forgetting the drive train loss as any of us know the z will more than likely lose power due to it being rated at the flywheel. where as the cobalt usually get a bit higher due to gm not rating their motors accordingly. this being said the z would be a good match for the ss.

I raced a stock 350Z down the high way, when I had my stage 5 intense kit and an injen CAI, and I left him by about 4.5 cars.

sethallen

also from a 45 roll the balt could be quicker....

yellowcobaltss05

that's exactly how my race was with one when we were both stock

DaREDss

sounds exactly right i pulled a fender on one from 35 . Then from a dig same thing prob a so so driver but im not to good either. . .

mezzanno

good race. I had a similiar experience. I was getting on the highway and there was a 350z in front of me. It was a low 20ish roll and i had to start in second so i was in a dead spot plus He was on it first as I was behind him and had to wait for him to go first. Anyway he pulled out about 3 cars and then when i finally got in to power it stayed that way with me maybe pulling back about a half of car by the time we shut down at 130. I also had a passenger and he was alone. Overall very even cars stock for stock.

Well, the times that they are listing for the z is with a average driver. Alot of people have went from 13.5 to 13.8 completely stock in the z's. The top speed for a 350z is 159. It will do it, just takes a minute to hit it. Also those hp are for a 06+ model. The 03-05 have 287hp and 274ft lbs. Just alittle more info to the pot.

been there done that, one of my favorite kills stock. good job bro

monkeiboy

Looks like the Balt is about 500 lbs lighter stock.
I think the Z has a bit of an edge, but the stats are close enough to make it a close race.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go nail my girlfriend.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

phxSS

I've beaten three 350z's

intense_SS

nice run in ninja and by the way the header looks great!!

8cd03gro

that really doesn't have much to do with it...the z still massively overpowers the ss/sc. the ss/sc just has alot less weight to pull. MOST z's run low 14's, so it should be a good race for an ss/sc. some run high 13's and VERY few, but a few nonethe less have hit mid 13's, so the z is the quicker car, but again, it should be a close race on the street.

black06ss

it actually does the power to the wheels is what you use not what you have to the flywheel. all the statment was is that even though it has 287 or whatever it has doesnt mean that it has 82 hp more than the cobalt.

scottw03

Nice Kill

8cd03gro

it still puts down a good 50+hp to the wheels. we all knew that before you made your statement. your statement was correct, but weight has more to do with it as the z greatly overpowers the ss/sc.

I like the 350z, but I think I would rather have the turbo'd 300z......

DaREDss

350z weigh 3600lbs cobalt wiegh2900 cobalt wins

Apex

The 300ZX Twin Turbo is a much better/faster car then the Z imho

Spectral

its pretty dead even if you ask me...i think the cobalt would pull it out....but as for mods if you put a twin turbo on those 350z's they freaking fly. i watched a vid of a stage 3 srt-4 and a 350z one heck of a race.

Spectral

well i havent raced a 350z but i have raced a 300zx twin turbo....lol i didnt getta see it for too long he left me in his dust....but like i said with the 350z with a twin turbo those suckes FLY.

intense_SS

hey spectral you swap ur motor yet...lol or ya still running that little buger u call an engine

Spectral

no i havent switched it and i think ive changed my mind about what im doing....it would take to much time to do an engine swap like that....maybe wayyyyyyy down the road ill do it....but i think im just gonna turbo it and do some other engine work. and its not a buger....its a go cart engine thank you VERY much :P
