I think that's probably why they didn't pick a 370Z in the first place.

I think it's a Greddy TT pushing 750+ or so with every performance mod known to man iirc. That 240 doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell.

There WAS a car that would have probably beaten it but they didn't select it.

Nah, it's not that high. I think it's about 500 WHP or so.

It's not nearly as decked out as you think. Boost, exhaust, intake, suspension, and rims with street tires.

I believe that 240's running 350ish WHP, suspension, much lighter weight, and possibly better tires.

You're giving that 370 far too much credit lol.

Oh I figured it was a monster. That's not really all that impressive.

Not many "monster" 370Z's exist I believe. Most typical turbo kits put them right around 450-550 WHP, depending on the kit. North of that takes some work.

One of the challengers was at 1000+ Let me see if I can find the car specs.

Yup, here we go:

-GTM Stage 6 Twin Turbo Kit with GT35R Turbos
-GTM GTR Intake Manifold Kit
-GTM 3-inch Downpipes

1000WHP

Please, although a 1K HP Z is no track monster. Maybe straight line, but that's about it.

Anything north of 500-600 WHP starts to SERIOUSLY bring question to the legitimacy of a car's track worthiness.

Rofl, talk about a show car. Those wheels and tires would make it absolutely worthless in a RACING competition lol.

But boy it'd do some sweet burnouts.

That's Bullit's car.

I've met him at Znationals 2011, although he didn't have the car with him at the time. Great guy, and it is mostly a show car.

I have no idea what I would do with a 1000hp Z. Wacky burnouts?

I bet it makes a really cool noise though.

you'd spend all your remaining money on tires is what you'd do with 1000hp!
