Another 350Z bites the dust

Had me what has to be the fastest one I've seen so far. Some aftermarket exhaust (yeah, thought it was just another fart pipe mobile), but nothing else to screw up what I think is a pretty good looking car. We hit a light in town together yesterday, and of course I'm not thinking there's any reason to play. Green and pull away not paying much attention when the guy lays into it. I figured I'd leave him for dead and I floored it too. This thing had much more than exhaust! Up to 80 mph I only had him by 4-5 cars!! Whoa. Surprising to say the least. He would have walked me hard if the 55 was still stock! I guess everything's getting faster. Time for a 50 HP dry shot I think!

It probably had a little engine mod called a supercharger.

Ahh. Didn't know they had'em for the Z's. That would definitely explain it.

That Z definitely had some forced induction . Given the aftermarket support for these things, I'm sure there will be a bunch of 600+ rwhp monsters coming out soon. Although, traction is a big problem w/ this car...

Maybe even Turbocharged. There are a few of those 350 beast out there, but not very many. I think i heard something about those engines not bieng able to support to much power.

If you tuned it correctly with SC or TT, the stock engine can good amount of power so dont discount Zs as just slow rice cars. Mine is pushing over 500whp and Z weighs in at 3250lbs.

Mine has forged internals. On the same dyno, 469rwhp was achieved on stock internals.
