HR or 370?
 

Had a discussion with a friend last night.

He was saying stock for stock the HR is faster than a 370

That the 370 was heavier (numbers for the curb weight online are all over the place, he said.) and that it was overrated crank hp


What you guys think?


(Yeah I know 370's are HR too but 350HR vs 370)

No

tell your friend to lay off the pipe....seriously though the HR in the 350 in a straight line is only marginally slower than the 370, but the 370 is stil faster up at the top end due to having VVEL which makes the 370 pull harder up top than the HR in the 350. when it comes to handling though it's no contest the 350 has nothing on the handling of the 370 stock for stock

:iagree: an while the HR was better than the DE, the 370 is a far superior car in every aspect (stock for stock and not putting driver skill into account)

Oh god; I've seen this argument so many times over at my350z.com when I was shopping for a Z. I guess my purchase speaks for itself.

edit: Do they think Nissan would make an inferior replacement?

I don't know of a single 370 N/A z dd that can touch my 08 350z. However I saw your record holder the day he did that 12.2 record run & I'm almost sure I can't touch that. I also think that in stock form or moded the 370z has apx. a 20h.p advantage & some higher rpm advantage.

I believe a 370z is a little bit lighter as well. However I do love the 350z hr 4 camshaft engine. It doesn't get hot & is almost indestructible.

The 350Z DE was inferior to the 300ZX TT

^^^ good point

I don't get it...? You're saying which car is faster?

Are you saying 1/4 mile? If so, what's your 1/4 mile time? (Slip please) and what are your mods? (Interior ripped out is a mod too)

He doesn't know of "A SINGLE 370Z N/A that can touch his car". That's a big statement.

I'm sorry
 

I guess I thought that people know me. Sorry.

I hold the 350z.com 1/4 record at 12.419. I held their record & broke it maybe seven times in the last 3-1/2 years since I started drag racing it.

I also won that September 22 Atco meet n/a heads up class last year. There was no 350z or 370z even close to me. That was done with my 3:90 gears, not my current 4:08's & it was pretty much my first time at the track in many, many months because of the car getting caught by an overflowing river that covered it with ten feet of water:) Storm Irene. It was almost totally rewired after getting totaled, then bought from the insurance company. I have no problem doing 12.4's all day long. I also have only a few mods. Stock exhaust & intakes.

Still I did say that the 370 has a h.p advantage as well as rpm & handling.

Oh, I don't know a single daily driver 370z N/A that's close to my car. If there is one, I'd like to know so not to post that again. Thanks.

HR's, from what I've seen, have really low drivetrain loss... I've seen stock 370s dyno at 271

From everything I've read, the 370 is lighter than the 350.

Just a bit. ^^^^^I only take out my spare tire before racing. Nothing gutted. I do use slicks and do 1.60's 60' times. I'm also a very good driver.

Thought it was 100lbs+, base vs. base. Curb weight of a base 370 is 3232lbs. What's a 350?
