Any opinions on 350z vs gtp?

My boss has a 05, 350z with an intake and i ran it on the dyno and he got 236hp peak. I put my two weeks notice in because im graduated and im going back home so were going to set a race up. I drive a 99 gtp with flow masters a down pipe and intake so its not modded too much. So i think this might be a good line up but I will soon find out and ill keep it updated.

Let me know if you have had any past experience with 350z's?
 


Just run the guy.

Moreso...if it is an auto car...and you can drive...your car will at least be faster through the 1/4.
 
For years i thought they were something, there just looks with a crappy drivetrain.

Now if you start modding them, There very fun but stock they aint ****. then again a GP in stock or modded isn't either but there both fun
 
Na, you got this, just learn to launch well and you should own him. Torque FTW

05 350z (35th Ann & Track) - 3.5 L (210 cu in) VQ35DE RevUp V6 300 bhp (220 kW) 260 ft·lbf (350 N·m)

L67 - Power is up to 240 hp (180 kW) and 280 lb·ft (380 N·m) of torque.
 
Ya its a six speed 350z but like you guys said as long as i don't bomb the launch and i should be in good shape.
 


yea my buddy has on 05 six speed one. learn to launch and you wont look like an ass.

he takes me from a dig, i can keep up from a roll
 
It's his race to win or lose. While you do have a little more torque, you also have more then enough extra weight over him to cancel that advantage.

Actually go to the scales with both cars, you'd be suprised... the 350z are rated upto 3600 curb weight which is slightly more than ours, the track versions are lower so it depends on the options and all that. Not to mention keep in mind a car with a full tank is slower than an equal car with a 1/4 tank of fuel.

Also you could really win if he doesnt know how to launch that manual tranny.... granny shifts with those cars are worthless, gotta know how to play with the clutch, and make the shifts. Auto is just roll and go :th_thumbsup-wink:
 
if your car isnt fast enough granny shifting then it isnt fast enough. pounding gears is for slow cars, like mine.
 
Take out the passenger seat and back seats along with any junk in the car (spare tire) before running, it'll help a bit and you're going to need it against that 6 speed.
 
HAHA you know its getting serious when i have all of seats taken out except mine. He has the base package 350z and he dosent like to push it like i would. When i ran it on the dyno i ran it all the way way up to 6700 to get that 236hp and he was like "man you were really getting it up there wernt you i was watching you through the back windshield". He wasnt that mad when i explained to him thats what had to be done to get that 236hp and he just never drives it like that.

I smell a winner :th_jester:


How can you be afraid of someone who doesn't drive their car. Shifting a manual during regular driving conditions and during racing are completely different. You have to know how to handle the car during the clutch release of a 7k shift too, the back end can get squirrely quickly and before you know ,.... wall
 
YA my hopes are getting better and he dosent ever race so i think im going to take him as long as i nail my launch and dont miss my shifts 1-drive.:th_winking:jk
