2010 Stillen Nissan 370Z Review ? Stillen Performance Parts Make One Killer 370Z ? RoadandTrack.com

Nice article. However, it makes me a lot LESS interested in scraping together $6300 + installation charges to get the SC kit. 0-60 in 4.5s and 12.8s 113mph 1/4 mi? Not as impressive as I was expecting (although maybe I'm being unrealistic). The 1/4mi was my major disappointment...that's a marginal gain over the stock 370's time.

For the price of the kit and install along with all the other bolt-ons as well as the headache if you have problems, you should just buy a Cayman S.

Total is $8K dealer installed plus your powertrain warranty is voided, however the work is warranty for 1 yr.

My concern as well. I'll probably FI after my factory warranty wears off.

Considering we have people on this forum with bolt-ons running 12.8s@110...

shitty drivers fellas, didnt yall read the part where they said their stock time was a 5.3? and their stock 1/4 was 13.7 @103? they dropped 8/10s on their 0-60 and almost a full second in the 1/4, whats that mean? that guys running low 13's can run low 12's, put on some D/R's and the car will do 11's. Thats nothing to scoff at gentlemen.

I must agree with this.... As Import Convert stated, we have bolt on guys running these numbers (almost). I bet this is a case of bad driving.....

Have you ever seen a C6 Z06 magazine time in the high-12's? That is the kind of hp/weight ratio we are talking here, nearly. Find me a C6 Z06 time/trap magazine-time within half a second and 5mph of that and I will buy it, until then--inflated numbers.

Better yet, find me a similar magazine-time AND trap for a GT500. It has tires just as narrow, or narrower, and similar power, with LOTS more weight.

I'm just not buying it. Not at all.

agree....... well, sort of. I still think bad driving coupled with lack of HP... Whoever said this car was putting out 375, I have to agree.

The ET is bad driving/tires/suspension (for drag). The Trap is the 375 I predict.

So...they gained 100whp.
FAIL.
1 second quicker, 10mph faster = 100whp.

Stock Z's dyno around 270. This one seems to be around 370.

432bhp...or roughly 70bhp less than advertised. Mazda did something similar once (RX8) and had to offer to buy back every one of the cars at the price the customer paid, if the customer chose to take the option.

Scoff scoff scoff

. I'll believe low 12s 1/4mi times with that kit when I see them published. And not with some tricked out Z running R-compounds.

ya gotta understand man, not too many cars running street tires are going to have fast 1/4 mile times, when you have that much power, all you're going to do is spin in the pit, you need stickier tires to launch harder, 500+ hp on the stockers is way too much for those tires to handle.

Yeah.
Not going to buy it. The mustang GT 255 rubber--runs better times than that Stillen Z, supposedly with more torque and less horsepower.

The trap-speed does not back up a 500bhp claim. Not one bit.

The ET of 12.8 with the trap of 113 is right on for an FI car that makes most of its power in the top end of the RPM band on street-tires with a mild launch. The car is probably putting down around 375-385whp.
