370Z power

Island_370 · 09-15-2009, 06:32 PM

I came from a modified biturbo Audi S4. The low end torque is no comparison, but the power delivery is strong and linear. You get more of steady push into the seat for a longer time compared to the fast hard shove and then slight fade.

Different feels, but still quite pleasant.

Yeah the VW turbo has nice torque from 1800 on which makes it feel faster than my old 04 WRX even though it`s not. I was really disappointed in the power of the WRX as it was so hyped and I never got to really get on it with the test drive. After when it was broken in and I did I was expecting more.

The Z has to move as the 0-60 and quarter mile times are as fast as a new mustang GT

I guess the torque will feel better than my VW as it only has like 200/200 stock.

I believe the Mustang is mid to high 13's VS the Z which is low 13's so the Z is faster than the Mustang GT.

The car is fast however, as others said the power is linear so you will hit speeds quickly but it does so smoothly so it doesn't feel nearly as fast as it really is. In other words...the speed will sneak up on you quickly. Take one for a test drive and make sure it's the car you really want.

You're not kidding on how fast it "gets up there"

Going along at 65, it's easy to be going 80 "passing" a semi.

Fastest I've been with this car is 120ish. Was ran through each of the "gears", was in 5th (of 7) and was attempting to get to redline, got spooked and decided to slow down - plus I was approaching a subdivision entrance and didn't want to risk anything. For that 3/4 mile though....WOW.

My work has a private road so I took one of my co-workers and launched my car...as I let off he was like wow that was a fast 0-60 and I looked over and laughed and said...you mean 85? He was like WTF...what impresses me the most is that it keeps pulling, it doesn't fall off which is rare for an N/A.
I have to admit the more I drive the car the more I like it!
