Definitely, that is something that has never been done. :ughdance:

I would love to see Brazilbro whip some 'stang!

Someone on this forum (company) get Mike a supercharger or TT setup. hes a damn good driver, and already knows how to handle his car very well! To go vs a 5.0 mustang that is possibly modded I think he may just need a lil more power (drag race).

m4a1mustang 11-25-2010 07:39 PM

Well you figure if the Z is supercharged then the 5.0 will be as well if they are doing a "mod for mod" thing, otherwise it's kind of pointless.

make that 2 s14's, and you and JB need to be out there dreamer, ill go if you do.....

theDreamer 11-27-2010 10:37 AM

Eh, a SC 370z v. a SC 5.0L is going to go to the 5.0L in the 1/4 mile
Circle track wise it would be a fair race for the most part but really I think the 370z needs to go up against something else. The Mustang is better fitted to go against a Camaro SS really.

Yep. Ford already has two superchargers that put out 525 hp/470 lb-ft and 624 hp/536 ft-lb from the factory. No idea how high aftermarket already goes. The lower powered option even comes with a 1 year warranty.

The highest I've seen so far is 800whp but no one has really bothered to push the limits yet. Probably 1500whp with a built motor if you wanted to get down and dirty.

theDreamer 11-27-2010 11:38 AM

Aftermarket we have seen a SC go into the 9s on a 5.0L.
Here in Houston they have been working on a single turbo setup hoping to push 800whp (800whp has already been achieved elsewhere but not stable yet).

I would be all for going out and having some fun, buy the best race would be a stock 5.0L v stock 370z.

ThoriumHotdog 11-27-2010 11:46 AM

Can I slap some Nissan and Z badges on my CRX? I'm sure I can get it put back together and run low 12's high 11's as is. If my ship comes in before that I'll get it a few seconds faster. :)

Robert_K 11-27-2010 11:47 AM

Since this is "Forum Wars" I win over all! :happydance:

theDreamer 11-27-2010 11:48 AM

Oh, if Robert wants to step up then maybe it would be a worthy challenge.
Then again, I just say we do a third gear pull.....

How about a Strasse Forged vs. Forged Specialties competition.

christian370z 11-27-2010 05:43 PM

Haha, what we really need is a channel called "The370Z TV", that debate would slot in there nicely.

theforumwars 12-02-2010 06:39 PM

Nissan 370Z vs Ford Mustang GT 5.0 - FastestLaps.com

If anyone is interested in knowing stock vs stock.
Any apparently, Mustang GT 5.0 has already beaten the 370Z on Willow Springs.

bullitt5897 12-19-2010 09:48 PM

I will ask sam if our base tune will be ready for the competition. If so I have a crap load of work to do to get the car ready in time. Also, it is still open for anyone to take the spot for our forums. I'm not 100% confirmed yet so guys who are F.I. And have track experience we need you to step up if I can't get the car ready in time...

m4a1mustang 12-20-2010 08:13 AM

So I was just putting around on Stangnet and noticed they confirmed a stock 2011 5.0 (exhaust maybe). I don't even think it has the brembo package so if a FI 370Z does get picked then there's no point in even racing. :icon17:

I thought they tried to pick similarly equipped cars?

m4a1mustang 12-20-2010 08:16 AM

Yep. No Brembo package. Pirelli all-seasons. All you need is to run quicker than a 12.4 @ 115 and it's all yours.

AutoX should be no problem for the Z considering it's a non-Brembo GT.

Yeah. I'm guessing that's stock with exhaust and maybe a tune. Couldn't tell if he's an MT or AT but all I know is he's stock or close to it.

FWIW the quickest stock 5.0 I've seen ran a 12.4x at 114.x. Like the quickest stock 370s tend to be, it was an AT.

Zeto 12-20-2010 08:26 AM

Interesting...

ah gotcha,:tup: i dont even know what the quickest recorded 370Z 1/4 mile stock record is...but i did see that thread for the 12.4 in auto 5.0/// veddy nice

m4a1mustang 12-20-2010 08:28 AM

Yeah. They said on their post over there that they were looking for evenly matched cars, which to me would be a full bolt on 370Z Sport vs. lightly bolt-on modded 5.0 w/ Brembo package.

Stock for stock the 5.0 is faster in a straight line but on a road course the Z would beat the non-Brembo 5.0 and get beat by the Brembo 5.0. The Brembo cars get the sport suspension and summer tires like the 370 Sport.

We'll see, though. If it is true and they pick this guys car against, say, Bullitts 370, then there's really no point. :icon17:
