07 350z vs NSX

[NissanFairladyZ32]

Coming back from school today, i was in my buddys 07 350z ( Fujita intakes, tanabe Y pipe, Greddy Single Exhaust, Pulse Spark Plugs, 20 inch Ruff Racing Wheels, Tanabe Lowering Springs)

When a bright red acura nsx pulled up next to us and wanted to race ( i didint know what to expect, this car looked stock and ive heard they were fast, so at about a 60 punch in 3rd to 120-140 we had about 4 to 5 car lengths on him

350Z .... the blue on the hood and bumper of the car you see is tape when it was driven from TX to new york about 3500 miles ( didint want rock chips)



NSX !!

till you take it to a track with corners and run through it for 24 hours straight.

and was that nsx an auto?

[ryan_g35]

Yea man dont be scared of nsx's.. I was messing around with my buddies friend that has one and i put about 2.5 1st-2nd and then hit pulled back around top of 4th and it was 1.5 gap between me and him. we did it a few times and about the same outcome everytime.. they look good and sound amazing but dont think there that fast straight line.. oh my car is stock and a 5at.

The NSX is a car designed in 1990... comparing it to a car designed in 2002 is a wee-bit unfair...

This was not a well thoughout comment. First of all, what do you mean by "designed"? Looks, motor, suspension or just plain "old"? There were plenty of cars that were made 15+ years ago that can still compete with cars that are made today. Example- 300zx, Supra, Skyline GT-R, Corvette, Mustang Cobra and the list goes on. I have a 1972 Datsun 240z and it has a N/A l28 with air and exhaust and I can go head to head and start to pull a Porsche Cayenne Turbo. But then again, my car is really old.

corvette, 300zx, supra, gt-r......yesbut not a mustang. in 94, the mustang was an absolute dog, probably one of the worst ones ever...... i owned an 87 gt with lots put into and stock z's today are running faster times than i was around limerockthe cobra R came out in rare form in 95, but that too will still have a hard time keeping up with a z around a trackthe only mustang I can think of that can compete with and beat the z is the 2000 cobra R and 03/04 sc cobras

You missed my point with the Mustang Cobra. I didn't mean only 1990, just cars in general around the time period, give or take a few years. All in all, I was refering to a thoughtless comment and was itching to say something.

...I have a 1972 Datsun 240z and it has a N/A l28 with air and exhaust and I can go head to head and start to pull a Porsche Cayenne Turbo....

I find that hard to believe. What does a stock l28 push? 135/145 hp? +I/E let's say 5 hp even 10...155hp? That's what a cayenne turbo makes in low rpm's...

[rb30dett]

Yeah they (Cayenne) probably make that much power just by turning over the motor . I was VERY suprised myself. One of those Caddy CTS-V's were messing around with us as well, which I might add, did pull me by a little. I'm not saying my car is fast, but, it definately feels good to have the guy's wife give ME a thumbs up for keeping up. Those Cayennes are boats anyways. At least I can say I beat a Porsche!

[xjmxstac]

You're car has been my dream car since high school. It's just hard for me to believe that 150+ hp can beat 500+hp even if it's twice your cars weight.

I know what you mean...as far as the power difference. To tell you the truth I thought it was ridiculous myself. Fun little car though. Not trying thread jack but it is for sale. Look it up in the classifieds if your interested.

[xjmxstac]

craigslist?

[rb30dett]

I think my wife posted it on craigslist, but, its on NICO classifieds as well. This link should work.

thanks rb30dett. Sorry for veering off topic, OP. BTW you ever thought of slapping a rb30 in your 240z? There's a member in here who has done so...or was it an rb26...Anyhow it looks sweet

Yes, I actually have thrown the idea around. But, my plans changed when I opened my big mouth and offered to sell my Z to buy my wife a bigger car.

[xjmxstac]

This guy has the sweetest ride in the world....I would give my right nut to have this car!

This will kill most cars 25 yrs newer than itself...

[NissanFairladyZ32]

Why are we talking about motor swaps?

the 350 and nsx were stock motors lol

[xjmxstac]

Thread jacked you sorry... Well, someone mentioned that the nsx is an older car than the 350z that's why it got beat, then someone else mentioned that older cars aren't necessarily slower than newer cars and said his '72 240z can keep up with a 500 hp porsche cayenne, then i said bull5h!t! Then I mentioned that the '72 240z has been my dream car...This led to that...and so thread jack--rb26 240z...

[NissanFairladyZ32]

if you go that way then a 99 kia rio with a viper moter will take a skyline ..

LOL

[xjmxstac]

I remember this conversation from another thread...it's like deja vu...something about a civic vs a z........hmmm...

[rb30dett]

[jcer]

a civic is still a civic no matter what you do and same with a kia hahah350z is just higher class I might add ohhhhhhhhh BURN

[ThuG LyFe]

i rather take a early 90s nsx than a new 350z. who cares if the z is faster in a straight line, definately doesn't touch the nsx in terms of looks and fun factor.

nsx = japanese exotic350z = nowhere near exotic

I would never own an NSX. I know your talking used but I don't see how anyone can spend 90k on a Honda. At this same time you could buy a Louts Esprit, Z06, Viper, 911 Carrera and all these cars were just as fast or faster and look just as good. Also you I don't think you own a Z so I doubt you know how it feels to drive. I have had someone this week tell me that when they drove a Z it was more fun to drive then their Z06. They said even though they would go faster in the Vette it felt nothing like driving the Z.

I think an 08 z will take an early 90's nsx in the track. The nsx is a overpriced, under powered exotic. I love how it looks like, but i gotta say it lacks power.However, a Lotus Exige, that's a whole other story.

[msv]

nsx is nice but it is way under power for the price.

[NissanFairladyZ32]

i dont think an nsx was ever 90 grand

maybe 60 -75 but 90 seems a little off

Straight from my 1996 Road and Track... 88K
