TT, SC, or just get an R8 or Porsche GT3?

AndyZ · 05-31-2010, 10:00 PM

Honestly i want more power im pushing 500whp and sometime around 550. But it feels needs littlebit more ponies. Im saving up to build my engine now looking for 600~700whp
it could be little too much but theres boostcontroller for it

Push370zzz · 05-31-2010, 11:08 PM

how is this even a question...get the GT3!!!

Even if your power-weight ratio was the same, you are not going to keep up with a GT3. And who cares if it can anyways...the Porsche is a nicer car all around.

But he isn't going to be embarrassed because he's the one in the Gallardo with the hot wife

In my experience....no matter how fast you think your car is.......trying to race a lambo gallardo lp560-4 is not a great idea. His launch control will rip you apart. It's one thing to have a lot of power on paper and another thing entirely transferring that power to the pavement.

AndyZ · 05-31-2010, 11:44 PM

Drag radials ftw lol

only diffrence between getting some exotuc cars and FI your z is they are in totally diffrent class
cars can be as fast as any other car with mod
but class can not

choose one you prefer more

I agree with Red. Theres a sick satisfaction of beating a car that you shouldn't be able too.

Unless i was stinking rich i dont think i would partake in either of those cars. Although a GTR and a Corvette sound nice to me.

as if his trophy wife actually would give a damn that her husband's Gallardo was beaten by a modded Z

20K modding my first STi , 5K in my second, both ate high dollar 'super cars' for lunch, could not help but smile....lol see a couple of my vids earlier in thread

Id still mod the Z purely because I aint go the cash for the GT3 or like, but hey I got my 4 kids and a smokin hot wife anyways ;-) dont need my car $$ for that

You are in the midwest - embrace your inner hick and get a Z06 and mod it.

2fast4thelaw · 06-01-2010, 10:20 PM

I would mod the hell out of the Z and call it a day. I already freak out about people hitting my car. Its been done twice since I bought it! I would be an absolute basket case driving my car if it cost 3 times as much as my Z.

Lambos, Porches, and Audi's are sweet but they would be nothing but diminished returns for me. My 370Z gives me more attention than I really want in the first place. A supercharged or TT'd 370 Z is not a car many
would want to line up an run against no matter what you are driving. This car has wicked potential for relativlely low cost.

When I had my 2005 Turbonetics ST 350Z I smoked a guy in Honda CBR-600. He even had a car length lead on me and I pulled him.

Supergoji · 06-01-2010, 11:01 PM

GT3, or fully built TT'd 370z.

those are your choices. deal with it.

BAHUMAT2JZ · 06-01-2010, 11:09 PM

How much whp you have in your 350z? I don't think that cbr driver knows what he was doing or he not trying....i have 07 cbr 600rr that walk my friend's 600 whp supra all day

2fast4thelaw · 06-02-2010, 02:48 PM

It delivered about 450 rwhp. Even though the car had killer top-end and tons of torque I was actually really suprized I took him. His bike looked kinda old like a 90's model but it still looked fast. I think he was more suprized that I took him on more than anything. I flat out pulled him dead to right.
