You've got to pay to play.

so basically the 370z can't run a 10sec 1/4 mile because it will break if it has enough hp/grip to actually do so?

The 370z most definitely can do it. It's just that no one has really tried yet.

Did the axles change between 350 and 370?

Berto had to go stage 5 to get to 11.2

550 rwhp is pretty much the brink for where street tires will actually grip effectively, and even that is a stretch. so in order to put down any more power you need slicks or drag radials... but with slicks/drag radials, people grenade their axles. so basically a 1000hp 370z can barely run a better time than a 500whp z?
so that leaves you with the choice of going slow because of tire spin, going slow because your car is stock, or blowing up your axles.... sounds awesome.

Or beefing up your rear end...

is there anything you dont have to replace in order to get the car to run a fast 1/4? might be simpler just to work backwards...

m4a1mustang · 12-06-2011, 03:45 PM

What is your definition of fast?

All the FI guys that have run the 1/4 with the 370 so far have been doing it on street tires... we don't even know at what point stuff will break yet with slicks... but I reckon you could get at least one 10.xx pass out of the stuff.

Sounds like the standard set of choices for almost every car in the price range

The diff should be fine. It's a somewhat weaker z32na diff.

I had no problems with the z32na at ungodly power levels, I imagine it can hold up to the power in most z's.

The axles are weak though.

m4a1mustang · 12-06-2011, 03:49 PM

I meant the collective rear end.

Kirkster · 12-06-2011, 03:57 PM

The axles are a relatively easy fix. but then the problem becomes the CV joints and I don't think there has been a stage 5 CV joint.

Mine put down 990 to the wheels repeatedly at 28psi so I would say yes the axles are a bit stronger

But I also have the traction control system...

This.

Putting down 990 to the wheels doesn't say anything at all... shocking the hell out of the axles with a 990whp launch on slicks... that says something.
