I'm tearing the car apart this weekend, so FF would be my last hoorah for a few weeks.

agree completely. im callin it:

2.5T (~220hp)
3.7 VQ with DI (~355hp base)

now those with 2900-3000 lbs could get interesting

more interested to see potential for what the platform can become, less how it rolls off showroom floor.

IMO light, cheap, turbo's are what manufactures need to bring back youth.

and definitely more than 220. guessing 250.

that's what I like to hear!! I know I'm not the only one who'd rather build my dream car, than over extend myself financially for someone else's used stock toy (let's face it, not going to have much left to modify it )

Multiple sources are saying now next Z will have no less power than current platform...

A final reminder! Looks like Saturday's rally is full BUT Sunday's rally on unpaved roads has openings.

This is very "low stress" on your cars as you will be driving the posted speed limits and the routes are on paved roads. The Saturday and Sunday Rallys are 2 separate events. You do not need to do both and you do NOT have to be a SCCA member BUT you must have a navigator. You do not have to have a "sports car"...drive a minivan if you want. This is a great family event. Hope to see you there!

This. Look at the way the youth has clung to the Subi twins. The car has to be affordable. At $30k for base, it's tough for the younger generation to get into a Z. The Z33 is just now to a point where it's affordable on the used market.

I love the GTR, but for the price of a used, higher-mileage one, I can build a super clean, low-mileage boosted Z that puts down better numbers without the maintenance costs that make me feel guilty about driving it.

I'm just gonna leave this here:

This time next year the GTR depreciation will fall a lot. the Nismo GTR will be out and we will be months away from the R36. I will be able to pick up a used GTR for about $45K to $50K with a $20K down payment. I'm looking at a $30K GTR W/ my down payment. I don't consider 35,000 miles a lot of miles for a GTR. Now I have not seen a FI Z come close to beating a GTR even FI TT 370z that traps 127 MPH didn't beat that tuned GTR. jus think if it faced a Full bolt on GTR. I'll take a bolt on GTR making 600 any day. Yes it cost more but not that much more. When your done with your build im sure your gonna be looking at 15K+ with out a built engine. The maintenance for the GTR is blown out of proportion and I can use the car as a DD and year around.


Plans for my GTR? take the car to Jacks in Colorado Springs for his $11,400 package. That includes his Drag 800 trans and the engine build with R&R labor, I-beam rods, pistons, head bolts, balance, bearings, gasket set and cleaning. So basically you drive the car in and then pick it up with a built engine and trans $11,400 later. The bottom end can hold 1300-1400hp without issue. trains would be the limitations so i'd keep the car sticking to the 800-900hp range. The Drag 800 trans holds 700 TQ. Then use the SBD850 Package for $10,295 that includes SBD850 Turbos, SBD FMIC Upgrade, SBD 64mm Turbo Inlets, TurboSmart Kompact BOV Upgrade, 90mm SBD Race Spec Exhaust, 90mm SBD Race Spec Midpipe, 76mm SBD Cast Downpipes, 1150cc SIR Injectors, SBD 290lph Fuel Pumps, SBD 3" Intakes with K&N Filters, ECUTek E-Tune by John Visconti

$21,695 later id have a GTR making at least 800 HP Trap over 150 MPH running 9's with my eyes closed.

If you want that set up in a Z well your gonna spend $45K
GTM VQ37VHR 800HP TWIN TURBO PACKAGE-M/T-GTR KILLER is 45K and that's not even 800 to the wheels!!

So even if I spend $50K on a GTR and another $22K ( ill round up) on mods I have a faster car that's rare and sexy and still come out cheaper.

I'm sure we have all paid at least 30K for our Z So add 45K for that GTM package and your at $75K.

FI 370z's cant even beat NA 5.0's im talking cams and heads and all!! Which they make near 480 to the wheels. Love FI Z's and love to see everyone doing it but not me :wtf2:

m3chhawk 10-31-2013 12:17 AM

My single will handle well over 700 HP and I can promise you it wouldn't take a $35k motor to handle it. :stirthepot:

edub370 10-31-2013 08:15 AM

would take a 550whp 370 over a 700hp gtr tho. if ultimate speed is your goal, the gtr is the best car u can buy imo. but its just not a drivers car imo

and u can do 550whp in a 370z for about $15k (not the point tho)

man after the Z i still wanna go supra or 911 turbo. supra has always been a dream car to me. mild engine work and a single turbo and i'm in heaven
