Man, you really are in love with yourself aren't you? Lol. Ok we got it, you are a good 1/4mile driver. I think I've read a hundred posts from you bragging about your times.. But that doesn't mean the 370z doesn't outperform the 350hr stock for stock. Maybe all these 370z owners you encounter at the track just aren't very good drivers. We've had several members here in the 12's, N/A. I know one guy who is an active member that is down in the low 12's, granted he has 4.08 fd but still. Moral of the story, the 370z is faster than the 350z. Wasn't that the original question, and is the performance difference worth it to go with the 370? Case closed, and have a wonderful day.

Have you guys not read my post here^^^^^^ saying that the 370 has more H.P & potentials than the 350???? Also that I'm shopping for a 370 next month.

You say your shopping for one.. but then go on to say how you have yet to see any 370s break into the 12s... If you are so concerned about drag times go buy a pony car

I wish I could understand what you said.

I said I've seen 2 Z's in Florida get into the 12's. In the north east, I never saw in person one 370z break into the 12's. That includes the 2012 Atco NISSAN only meet. What do you want from me??? Talk to the 370Z guys up north

That was tranceformer & your record holder Jason. I was there when they posted their best times. So for the 2nd. time, that's when I realized the 370 z had more H.P. & more potentials. O.K???

I'm just curious, because I've heard you claim several times that you are going to upgrade to the 370, but what made you change your mind?- this morning drove the 370z for the first time ever

Sounds like you should just stay with your beloved HR- don't understand why only 5 moded Z's in the 12's ???

I stand by what I experienced when testing that 370z. I think 4:08 gears would be a must if I got a 6sp. My last post^^^^explains why I'm looking at the 370, AUTOMATIC

I also stand by my second post you posted....

What is your car's avg. drag time? The 350's you beat, were they DE's or HR's?

Mopping up 350's

If they were DE's, it's like beating an Altima.

Your times????

Still, beside those two, I so far have not seen a SINGLE 370 in my neck of the woods break 13 seconds. We have a ton of 370's in the N. East!!! You pick the reason why.

"I clipped a mid 13 second run, bone stock". That's excellent, but you still couldn't touch 12.9 to low 13's HR 350's w bolt ons. that I ran across on the track

You have more to work with than they did, so let's see some mid 12's from you, then brag how you "mopped up" all the 350z's.

FIRST time I took my 08 350z to the track was in Florida/same track. I did put on m/t street radials that were better than stock but still could not hold my car from spinning them. 2 months after getting the car, bone stock but for the tires, I did ALL my runs between 13.2 & 13.5. with my best being 13.195.

So, take it easy

Got to go now!

Since I don't know what kind of new Z is coming our way, I may get a used low mileage 2012 370 automatic. As much as I love manual trans & find it easy to produce great times with it, I'm getting to old & tired driving 3 hours each way then changing all four tires/wheels twice. That adds up to 16 tire changing

I may just put M/T street radials on an automatic 370z, just drive to car to the track & do NOTHING except have coffee before drag racing.

It won't be as quick as my 350z, but if I add 2 more mods, I'll be able to do 12.7's 12.8's without a problem. It will be a better car for bracket racing than my faster 6spd. manual.

If you are so convinced that your 350 is faster, why would you switch? Are you that into bracket racing? Also.. just because you havent seen it with your own eyes, doesnt mean that these cars wont run high 12's with the right driver and good conditions.

but I need to answer this fellow.

For over 3&1/2 years & maybe 7 times I broke my 1/4 mile time that is listed on my350z.com. The bolt on 07/08 hr section. I've done it with Niss. STOCK intakes & except for test pipes, STOCK Nissan exhaust, muffler & all.

This spring I replaced my 3:90 gears with 4:08's that I purchased from the 370 car & site. It was a complete diff. set up. Seems like they are the same for both cars. A Nissan dealer just took mine out & installed the 370's in.
After my gear change, I went twice to the drag strip this spring hoping to break my last record time of 12.508@110mph. Well in those 2 times at the track, I got in about 13 runs. 10 of them were 12.4's, with my best of 12.419.

So it isn't what I think, feel or dream off. I've drag raced at the two top tracks up here(north east), Atco & Raceway Park, plus 2 other drag strips. 4 tracks in 3&1/2 years. The ONLY N/A 370's I saw do 12's were the two in Florida. There is no one from North East that has a 370 posting here that I'm mistaken. There might be a couple of cars that do & did that, but I don't know them & haven't seen them.

I no longer have my 350z(long story & not important for my points) so looking at the great times of the automatic 370's & me becoming 65 years old in Dec. plus living 3 hours away from the track & NEEDING slicks to drive a 6spd. car, I decided that I no longer want to drive 3 hours each way & change all four tires twice just to enjoy a day of racing. So I figure that since we don't yet know what 2015 brings, & I don't like to buy the first year of a new car, why not buy a 2012 370 automatic & add similar 2 mods that my 350z had. That should put me in the 12.8 range with stock intakes & exhaust minus cats. With M/T street tires I can just drive to track, no tire change, just coffee & go racing. I've done well in bracket racing & with an automatic that will be much easier to do. Makes sense??? When a good Z comes out in the future & I'm still alive, maybe I'll buy one & go for that record

andre12031948 · 10-28-2013, 05:22 PM

that on your list, stock 370's automatics are doing 13 second & a bunch close to that time. That's amazing & one reason why I might get an automatic.
