370z Vs Rx 7
Ok guys - asking this on this board to get a different feel for the build as compared to the RX 7 or rotary boards.
What i am looking to do is build an acceleration monster for running NC vallies and country back roads. Not really too much top end speed but getting from 20-150 asap i feel could be fun. Current cars: 2012 Nissan GTR So ya, i have godzilla and am contimplating just putting in an AMS kit and calling it good but i thought i would expand the stable a little bit and see what opinions you guys have about it. 370z build with engine mods will be a must. Thinking 550-700 TO THE WHEELS would be necessary. Pros for this are is availablity and relative ease of the build. there are also a plethera of tuners to do such a build. next would be styling of the car. cool looking with great lines but this is also a negative as well since there are so many of them around. Body kit of extreme quality would be a nice option if you guys have ideas on such kits please let me know. RX 7 - very light weight and cheap to get started. I have a few shops willing to fortify a 20B for me to support the 600+ HP i am asking for. These shops / engines aren't cheap. Also going with a True Veilside Fortune kit for it. Pros are amazing styling of that kit if you like the kit and power to weight ration. question is will i need some huge gaudy *** wing to keep that power gripped to the road. I am also considering dual charging both cars if possible. SC for low end then Turbo for the high end - much like that gentlemen did in CA with his lotus Lets try and keep this discussion to the finer points of the builds with no hazing / raggin on any posters or their opinions - we are all adults here. Thanks Greg |

built 370z will leave a stockish gtr from about 50mph on. tons of fun.
rx7's are great cars, but as u said, finding rotary specialists/parts is getting harder by the day.

RX7 with LS1 drop-in
 then, of course, take it to the TRACK to enjoy, not the streets.

Ive had a few rotars in the past and you know they carbon up if you dont redline them frequently. you mentioned you dont need top end so maybe the Z is a better option. Rotors are gonna need more maintance too and arent cheap to do so. On a side note theres a guy here in sydney with a 20B powered 350z. 800hp animal.

So you have a GTR, and you're selling your yellow 370z because you have a kid on the way, and are now looking to by a RX-7 or another 370z again?

Did op say 370s are everywhere...... I have seen only 4 just randomly driving around in 3 years on the road (obviously see a lot in my Cars and Coffee meets)
Check the numbers only about 30K Z's sold 2009-2011 which makes it pretty rare.
