One video doesn't prove crap. The fact is that the 03-06 350z is a drivers race when compared to the 300zxTT and from a roll the 300zx has the edge. The 07-08 350z would kill a 300zx TT in a drag and would easily walk a 300zxTT from a roll. The 370z would have no issues in any kind of a race. The 300zxTT and similar cars of the era just have so much hype behind them that it's hard for people to let go. The 300zxTT in it's time was amazing but in today's world it's nothing special and actually kind of slow (in stock form). I mean remember, this car pulls a 13.9 in the 1/4. That is the same times that a 20k SRT-4 can pull, a 25k WRX will pull much faster times, same with the cobtalt SS, etc. To it's credit the 300zxTT with some basic mods is a monster but in stock form it's so restricted from the factory. Just some old history for your new people to the Z world, when Nissan designed the VG30TT motor they designed it with 600hp in mind. Then they went ahead and swaped in smaller turbos and intercoolers, plugged up the exhaust and intake, and dialed down the ECU. This is why with some basic mods the car really responds.
