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

sr2208 · 07-23-2013, 09:53 AM

Hi there,
I really want to know what is the different between 300hp 370z and 400/500hp 370z.

I always see some ppl post a dyno chart/video on youtube but say it's 400whp 500whp.

I have no idea how fast are they.
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.

Go take a look at the 1/4 mile times threads. You're not going to see a huge difference 0-60. There's just not enough traction, and it just gets worse as the power goes up. Compare the fastest NA times to the fastest boosted times. It's a huge difference.

only like 1 second isnt really much though.

1. jnaut (NA) 12.245
1. coop (TT) 11.130

you'd think for dumping around $10K more into forced induction it would be more though. but i'll admit getting into 11's is impressive and for TT getting in the 10's would be awesome too.

i'll still proud to be 5th fastest NA with only intake/exhaust/tune and FULL weight on street tires.

Thanks. I just had a look for the 1/mile time attack thread.
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?

At ~120, the distance traveled in 1 second is about 175 feet, or 13% of the total distance. It's pretty substantial.

respect for doing all the maths and research lol

but......i ran against a guy doing mid 11's the other weekend and he didnt seem that far ahead of me. def not 200 feet. i mean my perception of it from a driver seat may be skewed but doesnt seem that far ahead.

New Best 1/4 !! 12.24 @ 111.81

And I think Z_eliminator had more $$$ in it with slicks and such

It adds up fast but the reason why Jnaut was so fast is he had all the upgrades he needed to put down the power. Jnaut was on slicks, 4.36 gears, upgraded LSD, weight reduction, full bolt-ons, tune, probably suspension of some sort.

Remember that our bolt ons are expensive as is but factor it all in. Exhaust for $1-1.5kk, intake for $600, LTH or shorty/test pipe combo average of about $1k, LSD $1-1.5k, Gears for $800, install of the gears $400-1k, tune with uprev $800, Clutch and Flywheel with upgraded CSC $1k, Slicks and wheels $1000, and I'm sure I'm missing stuff.

According to that post.....only thing out of the ordinary from most peoples list is the gears. I'd hardly say close to $10k DEpointFive0

A second in the 1/4 is huge. The difference in trap speeds was more what I'm getting at. That's where you're going to see the power. It's a difference of 12 mph between NA and FI.

yea of course but trap speeds are weird sometimes. i'm had runs being my fastest ET of the day with one of my slowest traps. yest i'll admit my fastest ET has my highest trap but i ran again and backed up a 12.899 with a 12.900 and it had a 4 mph slower trap at .001 second slower. just baffles me lol

and yes 1 second is huge but for 10-15 grand for a good TT kit and tune it is just a lot.

There aren't many 11 second cars out there for $40-55k that aren't a Vette or Mustang/Camaro.

Noob question...why can they get HP to the asphalt? More weight on the back? If I just need more weight in the back I can always stuff my ex-wife in the hatch.
