What's the different? 300hp? 400? 500?

The Camaro weighs more. The Mustang has a solid rear axle. The Vette has the tranny in the back for a little extra weight back there and wider tires.

The AT explodes over 400whp unless you throw a good chunk of money at it. the 6MT just needs a clutch.

7 out of 8 TT 370z are manual and the only 1at is a g37.
Why is that? 7at cant handle TT? Or it just a personal preference?

its not really HP its the TQ that destroys the 7AT.

i gave up my TT aspirations based on wanted to have a TT 7AT. to do so tack on a extra $7-9k to do it properly and be able to use all the gears with the potential power of a stg 2 TT kit.

you can go TT and low boost run 450whp and 400tq and be ok with some tranny cooling upgrade and valve body upgrade. problem is you can go balls deep in the higher gears (5,6,7) at full throttle from what i understand.

so my quoted $20k for TT, stg 4 AT tranny, cooling upgrades made me just say one thing.....GTR lol

Thanks bro. I live in Australia and a 370z brand new costs 68k. A brand new GT-R costs like 190k(yes, 190k without other fees).

So spend 20k to get a stable 7AT TT 370z is still acceptable in this country. But the point is, 20k is enough for to make a stable 7AT TT Z? I afraid I have to pay like 25k or even 30k to get a AT TT 370z. That's too much for me. Although it's acceptable(20k) but still lot of $. So I just want to ask for opinions.

I do wanna try 7AT because my evo9 and dc5r are both manual, I really want to grab a 7AT this time especially many 370 owner said 370z's 7AT is a amazing stuff.

68K for a Z?!?! brand new ones here you can get for like 40k loaded lol

anyways $20k TT kit and highly upgraded transmission for a 7AT should be plenty powerful and stable. there actually is someone who purchased that specific tranny i mentioned recently. they havent added any forced induction just yet but are in the process of it soon. i'm sure once they do it and share results it will become more popular. i'm guessing most people are like me and cant pull the trigger on a $7800 transmission upgrade when no one has really tested its limits or potential yet.

i'm guessing it should be able to hold up to a stage 2 TT kit but like i said no one has really put it through its paces yet.

also as for you're interest in buying a 7AT Z i'd say go for it. i have driven many 6MT Z's prior to me buying mine but the first time i drove the 7AT version i was sold.

Australia is not the country for cars lol.
Would you mind tell me how much did u spend on your Z to get 12.4?

Mitco39 · 07-23-2013, 10:38 AM

Where you would really see the power is if you had a 1/2 mile or even a full mile run. A stock Z would fall right off after the 1/4 mile whereas the FI'd one just keeps pulling.

i disagree. 1/4 mile i'm at 105-110mph. car can still climb a lot higher and pretty quickly after 110. idk if you've ever done that but it can. just fyi lol

yes a TT car would probably pull faster and harder but it also has around 100-200 more whp. if it doesnt than that Z is a fail lol

Im trying to understand what your saying, lol. Sure a non FI Z is fast, but the FI really shines in 4th and 5th. Sometimes 3rd as well depending on traction. But when you can pull through 5th like nothing else it always puts a smile on my face. The car just squats and goes.

Like was said earlier I actually believe that unless you are a really good driver a stock Z will give a FI Z a run for its money to 60. 1st gear is so short with FI that it makes the shift difficult, not to mention the wheelspin while trying to shift. Its really a drivers game down low once your FI'd

Chuck33079 · 07-23-2013, 10:44 AM

It's a whole different animal. The top of fourth comes up REALLY fast.

NickTurnon · 07-23-2013, 10:47 AM

I like what chuck said the best... after 400whp/500, your traction is gone.

It might be a fun race while you are doing a pull, but from a dig, your S.O.L.

Chuck33079 · 07-23-2013, 10:48 AM

Eh, I get some traction in second if it's hot out. Winter, it breaks loose in second like it used to do in first.

A stock 300hp 370z 0-60 is around 5. So what will a 400whp/500whp 370z get? 4.5? or just a bit quicker?

Thanks.

much faster than honda.
