Well, I can say I'm not too impressed with the SC & TT 350z's. Great vid!

Absolutely pathetic about the Nissan 350Z's. A simple Camaro with cams keeps up with a TT or S/C Nissan 350Z... then a Trans Am Ram Air(dark blue) blows the doors of the 350z's.

All that burning tires (white 350Z) then after all is all show no go. Pathetic!!

350z's are over rated. So are the turbo kits

There's a couple things you guys need to remember.

The 350Z is a 6 cylinder with high compression and an open deck aluminum block. It does NOT respond well to FI without major modification. It isn't supposed to and is not designed that way. Don't hate the Z, hate the owners who are too stupid to realize this and then represent poorly.

Firebirds, Mustangs, and Camaros are V8s with a lot more power potential than a 6 or even the precious 4G63. You tend to forget this with a turbocharged, closed deck, iron block high revving engine designed for 20 psi. It's unrealitstic and not even common. Name one other car out there like the Evo. There isn't one and that is why it's so appealing.

Watch this video and welcome yourselves back to REALITY. Duh.

No argument here, I just didn't realize the 350z's had an open-deck block.

great vid. The cobra was dissapointing as well. I expected it to lose but not that bad. I think the vid. said it was making 21 pounds and a 35 shoot, so it prob had a built motor. I guess this helps prove that ls1 are monsters.

Twin-Turbo Z for whoever thinks in error that they are weak.

They are weak...with just the SC or turbo, especially for $5-8K. All you've shown is spend enough money and you can make anything fast.

FWIW, the car really needs a built bottom end so you can crank up the boost.

That is an exceptionally nice Z, though.
