??what are you talking about its only a 03 350z 3.5 L VQ35DE V6 287 bhp 274lb·ft torque with a intake that does 14.1 1/4 mile stock with Curb Weight 3,247 .. why is it so hard to believe i seen hondas with a basic swap take on those cars they are not anything special unless is the 370z. -_- and just to be clear when i weight my car i came to 3,085lb not including the 28lb i lost on the wheels so how is that the same? to 3,247lb? and 2 times the power i have? so then 350z have 400+ crank hp? 0_0

its hard to believe because it just doesnt make sense. unless the driver of the 350z was a complete retard or the car was running on 4 cylinders...

You have a pretty much stock 1.8t right? Now, my mostly bolt-on 2.8 was quite a bit quicker than fairly stock 1.8t's, especially from a dig. With that said, My G35 is A LOT faster than my 2.8 A4 ever was. With that said, My G35 is a lot fatter than a 350z and a hair slower than a 350z. SO unless you're chipped with full bolt-on support I dont see how it works. Just an observation and again, just my .02. On another note, a stock 350z is capable of high 13's in a 1/4 with the right driver, another factor to keep in mind, The 350z nets over 100 MORE WHEEL HORSEPOWER and almost 130 MORE WHEEL TORQUE. that makes a HUGE difference since you're only a couple hundred pounds lighter, and the effect is going to be even greater if your car is AWD. AWD slows cars down, unless you're a GTR which is fueled by magic and unicorn farts. Maybe if you shed another ~800 pounds off the car you could offset the power/weight ratio, but thats a stretch.

the wife has a 2009 370z manual in the garage, and when she lets me drive it, it is the fastest darn rig I've ever been in, sticks to the road like glue, and gets me in trouble with the Police. I'm not mature enough for one, so i stick with the 2000 a4 or the f150.

Ok the 350z has 287 WHEEL HP. Your A4 has 150 Crank, which is abut 120 at the wheels. Even if you consider me rounding the 13hp up for the 350z yes it's half.

Do you know how much a Del Sol weighs compared to a B5?
