300zx's are brutal
wsup guys... so my buddy just recently gets his 90' 300zx 2+2 non turbo registerd right... we decide to go racing.. we went to the tracks and did 3 1/4 runs... i beat him on all 3 but on all 3 he was on my front fender towards the end... it was pretty frekin crazy.. we both are completly stock.. well i have a k&N intake but thats it...
Then we did another one on the streets... immediatley at launch, I jumped 2 cars in front of him.. but his Z reeled me in quick status at like 60mph.... he passed me at 85mph...
300zx's are quick.. dang... and his was one of the heaviest non turbo models.. lol... crazy.. those nissans have top end....
so if his non turbo model caught up to me that quick.. i can't imagine the Twin turbo ones.. geez...
So can a stock WRX whoop on a stock 300zx Twin turbo?
do you think?
On quarter mile we rule.. but their are some cars out their that can snag us on even that u know? can a Twin turbo Z beat me on a 1\4 ? how close will it get?..

It can be done...
I was cruising around and saw this guy with a SICK rex all white, not too many flashy mods (he knew where to put his $) i'm goin like 50 thru town and he pulls up in the next lane with my little '93 1.8L with no muffler. so he hears me and just drops to 2nd and floord it- gone instantly....I caught him a couple lights later just to hear his BOV and everything (one of the biggest/loudest WHOOSH! I've heard) and pure turbo under WOT ;P
n e way he came up behind a white ZX TT who was closer to stock than the rex but still a TT (only had exhaust that I could tell). they just started draggin down the busiest road in Longmont pretty much neck and neck but this time the dubby would start pullin away from the Z at about 50 and couldn't be caught...then they're comin up on stopped traffic at like 75 or somethin and screech to stops- LOL! They did that like 3 or 4 times- I was behind them the whole time laughin my *** off that a twin turbo just got spanked like a 6 year boy old by that insanely tuned dub-x.....

hahaha thats coo... i'm still gonna steer from those nissan bad boys....I have a AWD crew.... Theirs me (2.5 rs) AWD Eclipse turbo ,3000gt (vr-4), another impreza (but a Wagon L) and an old 944 porsche .......my friend set up a race w/ another crew... the other crew had 3 pickup trucks,1 s13 silvia, and 1 bad *** mother ****ing 300zx TT ... the guy had the hugest exhaust and loud *** blow offs.... the 300zx was pushin 390hp @ 19lbs boost... daaaaamn!! the fastest car in my group is that Eclipse, it has 280hp w/ NOS .... it runs 1/4 in low 13's.. anyway we all raced and all got beat.. we saved our fastest for last, the eclipse vs the Z.... at launch the eclipse was in front, but as soon as the Z pulled in 2nd, he was gone.... GONE!... i was like daaaaaamn!!!! ..... I'm scared of Z's.... even the non turbo's are quick..... Z's pull on like every *** car.. they even whoop on Supra's , Z's have damn good topend....
no more racing Z's....

Hey guys,
Don't fear the Zs.....Most are stock and slow. They are great cars but they weight too much for there drivetrains to haul them around. I was able to pull away from a non turbo like a freight train from a 60 mph roll....and I only drive a DODGE Shadow....well it is pretty fast...hehe

300zx
hey there,
i own a 300zx and you are right the top end is a lot better than the bottom end. A lot of you WRX guys have a good chance at one of us in our Z's on a short run but i'd have to say that on the freeway the Z has the top end over the WRX, speaking if both cars are stock. The Z is heavy but lighter than supra and i think 3000grt as well so it does alright in its class i think but highway maybe a different story.
good stories though and drive safe!

you think that is scary
my cousin has a 300z with about 600hp at the wheels and has not even touched his turbos
he cant drive it in the rain because as soon as the turbos spool BOOM no traction

well that is why about a month ago he wanted to look at selling his Z and buying a "real" Porsche which to him is a air cooled, turbo and AWD but seems now he wants to keep it
just to let everyone know aircooling stopped in 98

Z's are serious tuner cars, you can get lots of power out of them and the 6cylinder engine is potent before the mods begin. They have always been known for being LOUD whether it's 4 or 6 cylinder Z. There are so many damn 280z's in the Bay Area alone, great cars.
