New found respect for 300Z's

Well I found out tonight that 300Z's can be pretty badass. One was walking all over my basically stock 05 MR. Didnt get a chance to see what he all had done but it had to have a lot due to the fact it looked brand new on the outside. Flawless car kept in mint shape!! Big ups to 300Z's!

Exactly!! he had some mad money into it but to each his own, Buy a cheaper car more mod money, more expensive car less mod money but she is coming along at a nice pace. I chose to do suspension wheels and exterior mods fist. Right now i guess i am a engine parts collector till next season i.e cams studs fuel pump and clutch sitting in my room. lol

The 92 up 300 Z's came with turbos right? I am not positive....but one thing is for sure, it's easy for him to look good when you're rolling stock. Throw a few MODS in your car or a 50 trim and then see who is doing the walking. Although many cars old and new can be modded to be seriously fast.

Peace.

500whp 300zx's are pretty easy to do..... 700whp+ is a little pricier but not difficult either. Don't be surprised if you see one trapping on the mid-120s or higher.

in the US, 90-96 were available in both the NA and TT form. Nissan stopped sending both in 97 but were continued in Japan.

Moneis941,


I am not surprise at all, a 300 ZX with some bolt ons vs your stock Evo he will walk away from you without effort. The thing is that your car is stock and his wasn't.
Switch roles around, his car stock and yours with mods and problem solve.

Don't swear it bro, it happens all the time...

Carlos
