Why can't we include a Subie... or an Evo for that matter? I am pretty sure a turbo on the Z constitutes "all kind of **** done to it" so why can't the other cars have mods?

I think traction control is a cool addition but I dont think a 370 with a stock engine is outside the realm of natural traction. And I don't agree with all the slicks talk either... This is a mid 500s to the wheels car.. Ya a slick will get the most of anything but there are more than just the 2 options of 19-20 inch street performance tires or 15" drag slicks. It's really common now for high power RWD cars to roam the streets on R-compound radials and I don't think we need anything more than that, not on a stock boosted engine

All of the slick talk is about maximizing 1/4 potential. If you want to go as quick as you possible can go in the 1/4 in your high HP rwd car... you'll need some ET Streets.

Yes I agree if you want the most. I suppose I am stuck on keeping this all street car setup.
I don't think it would take a serious build. 335/35/18 drag radial should do it mid 500s at the wheels I expect |

whether or not the Z is a drag car is irrelevant. High HP claims should always be backed up by 1/4 mile times. The road course is NOT the place to be showing off tons of horsepower, and thats where you can actually get away with having a less powerful car. For example, Mike (the powdercoated) runs around much more powerful, more expensive cars with his FBO 370z with a real road course setup.... and guess what i bet he'd lap any TT 370z with their street setups. 310whp and weight reduction with a proper track setup is better around a road course than 600whp on street tires and 20 wheels with stretched tires.... but thats besides the point... the overall impression i get from tt370z owners are that they are basically undriveable when you put your foot down... wheres the fun in that?
I could care less about how much hp you have if you can't put it down and you'd lose to a FWD turbo CRX with slicks on the front... because thats where the TT 370z's still are. honestly with how much the TT 370z's actually cost to build... whats set of axles cost on the scheme of things? if your car has 600whp, it should be running a good time and no one wants to hear that you are too scare to break it. If you are going to run around like your car is hot **** then prove it. no one cares how much horsepower you have to spin your tires. I know GTM put a lot of R&D into bullits car... but with all the money that was spent on that car... why not actually spend some driving it and proving what it can do. i think a lot more people would be impressed by your car running a 9 or 10 1/4 mile than if you had 1500 hp. i doubt a set of axles or whatever could concievably break if you through some slicks on and tried to run a good time would even cost much in comparison to what the overall build cost. it'd be cool to see some TT 370z's that weren't just dyno queens. that being said i wouldn't want to be the one who had to put my car on the line Last edited by Jeffblue; 12-07-2011 at 12:27 AM. |

i dont understand why there is such little date on these tt builds other that dyno numbers, it seems like there are only 3 or 4 guys who take them to the track, there is no reason why these cars arent in the 10's yet and there is no reason why nobody has done 60-130 numbers either. Expecially these shops why wouldnt they advertise and show what these cars can do other than dyno??
