370z vs 300zx

These photos remind me of how badly I wanted a 300ZX when it arrived in 1989. Most attractive Japanese car up to that point, and not surpassed in the years since. Doesn't look a bit dated 20 years later. Thanks for the photos, guys.

I had the first one in town, March 1989..... man was it sweet, and really turned heads. People were always asking me what kind of car it was at first.

$5 says you don't get either car, ever.

I want an engine that can hold up to 750hp but run 500 for daily driving so i guess adjusting boost could help me with this. anyone know the hp limits of the stock 300zxtt engine and the 370z engine. does anyone have top speed on a 370z w/o limiter and whats a 300zxtt top speed stock.

You probably need to contact Z1 outside of Atlanta.
They are about the best you can find for the Z32 (300ZX).
Ask for Russel.

The Z32 will give you as much power as you can pay for but as the previous poster said you can't use 750 hp on anything but a drag strip.

im hearing two sides hear not my gtr. some are saying that a few bolt ons and brakes will make a 300zxtt run like a 370z. so whats the real story? how much and what would it take to get a 300zxtt to perform like a 370z on the track? and for those knocking 750hp, many of the best sports cars/ supercars that turn out amazing lap times on a track turn between 600-750hp and im sure i have stated that 750hp is the extreme. my goal is closer 500-550 hp from 6-9psi so that if i wanted to i could up the boost to reach closer to 750hp.
and how will i never have either. its not like they cost 100k. seriously.
