And I still don't see how people believe that the Z32's are faster than the 350Z's. I'd love to run one from a dig and roll. Stock of course. What did you run stock? I've run a best so far of 13.9 @ 101 with a 2.1 60'. My clutch sticking to the floor didn't allow me to slip it so I could only dump it hence the ****ty 60' time. Probably good for a 1.9 60' making a good 13.5 or so run @ 101 mph with a better clutch setup.
But I've been inside one Z32 and that interior was full cloth and plastic. No suede wrapped doors or nothing. Possibly since it was a base? But to me with my crappy interior the 370Z touring with all options was a step up in fit and finish. Maybe we see two different cars but eh we both drive Z's on an infested Pcar site.  . We have to stick together. |
In response, the non-turbo Z32's have plastic and cloth/carpet interiors. The TT models (mine) have leather and suede minus the 1990 model which is leather and carpet.
In terms of power/performance, a stock TT Z32 has 300hp and 294ft. torque. The stated quarter time is approx 13.7. (STATED) I have dragged my car twice, once with just intake and exhaust, and once when the build for track setup was complete. My original time was a 13.67. My time with the current setup I have on it was 12.24. I am in no way a drag racer. I am sure that someone that knows even slightly what they are doing will beat me and my times with my car on a drag strip. Stock vs Stock, I ran a buddy with a 2004 350Z when he bought it on the freeway. He had the Nismo exhaust and I was running at the time a JWT Pop-charger and a GReddy downpipe back exhaust (was dynod at 307hp). I beat him 40-120 by 5 cars. The thing to keep in mind with that though is that the 350Z is a 6speed and the Z32 is a 5speed. Why do I bring that up, obviously the gearing is different. At 40, he is in 3rd, I am in 2nd. In fact, I am in 2nd til 68 and 3rd til 108. From a roll, most Z32's have the advantage. From a dig, our turbos are symetrically boosting so if you can launch at about 2600 rpms when they "0" boost (also know as brake boosting) its anyones guess. Depends on traction at that point. Go find a Z32 "toy" and see what he can do. One thing to keep in mind though, the Z32 is one of the easiest cars to hide mods on. Can't see anything in the engine compartment or under the car because of how low they are.
DJH, stock for stock, yes, the 350Z will out handle the Z32 on most tracks. Long bank turns its close to even because of our 4wheel steering. I've put about 8k into suspension however so I personally have not lost to a 350Z on the track. (knock on wood)
Anyway, hope the info helps!
