Driving fast is dangerous, I'm scared! I never go over the speed limit, except on days that end in "y".

This was achieved on a close course test track with professional rider, for you safety guys.

 

Huh?!?! 350Z has less horses.

2005 Mustang : 300HP, 320 ft-lbs, 0-60 ~5.2s, 1/4mi ~13.8
2004 350Z : 287HP, 274 ft-lbs, 0-60 ~5.4s, 1/4mi ~14.1

 

I was solely going on what he said ... He said the 05 350 had 3 :scratch: crap 300 and something horses... but more than our 300. I'm not much into any foreign cars nor do I pay attention to their stats. BUT I guess since he was wrong about part of it... I had no reason to believe any of what he said huh.

 

No, that's not right, the RX-8 is not the new RX-7. The RX-7 was a 2 door, 2 seater. The RX-8 is a 4 door, 4 seater. Their were rumors of an RX-5 as well, but I don't think that one will happen. An RX-5 would be a rotary powered MX-5 or Miata.

The 2005 350Z Track and 35th Anniversary Ed has 300 hp and 260 ft-lbs.

 

Cute...they tapered the torque so they could get more HP. I doubt the times changed.

 

Right, since most people don't know the difference btw. tq/hp, this was probably a good marketing move for Nissan. They can say "hey, our Z has as much hp as the new Mustang, for only $10,000 more, and it has IRS"

Anyway, I agree Ghost, shouldn't change the 0-60 time, maybe a little faster on the 1/4, but very little if any.

Anyway, sorry to get off topic. GOOD KILL! I've been begging a Z or G35 to pull up next to me at a red light Of course to admire their car, not to street race or anything, that would be wrong.

 

Sorry, it was a litle exaggerated....i meant it was like the rx-7 in the body style engine. IT was only diff i tohught in that it had a backseat....I never saw an RX-7 up close, do they have back seats? I thought they did.

 

RX-7's do not have a back seat.

 

Don't forget that they require 91 octane gas to do it though.

 

The day I picked the car up I was challenged by an 98 camaro (figures) anyway, I thought about it momentarilly then decided against as the car was brand new, he revved it a few times, then when he realized I wasnt biting he gave up .we were both smiling, I am sure I will run into him again, and am looking forward to it !

 

A 350z pulled up to me last Thursday morning on my way to work. It was an older guy and his wife. It was nice out, I had my windows down, my music up, and I was in just a cruising mood, but when the light turned green the 350z stomped on it. I couldn't resist so I took it 6000rpm in first, chirped 2nd, and walked past him. I slowed down and he rolled up next to me, he and his wife both had big smiles, and he was motioning like he wanted to go again but I had to make a turn.

 

as much as i want to race again i think im gonig to save it for a track and controlled conditions. haha or not. depends on who challenges me and when hehe. i cant resist the need for speed.
