Are you certian. If they both had equal driver im sure the 350z wouldnt be too far behind. The Z32 TT vs Z33 is basically a driver race. Depend mostly on the drivers.

I would think the Z33 would be able to take a Z32 on a circuit, do you think so? Circuit meaning road tracks with corners also.
 
i still believe the Z32 would be faster down the 1/4, but around the track i would have to say the Z33 would be quicker.

if the the drivers are dead equal in the test, i do believe the Z33 would be closer.
 
I was watching motor trend, or car and driver on tv a long time ago, and they had that red racing 350z and they said it costs 75k, does anyone know if this is true, and if so, are they sold out,

ha, i cant get one now, but in few years i should be banging big bucks, everyone has dreams

If i had 75K i would get the GT-R. Why would i want a tuned 350Z when i could get the new GT-R for the same price?

Well I like the Z's, and thats a full blown race car

Still 75K is a big price to pay for a Z. I would rather have the new GT-R with 400+hp :D It also has a turbo lag system ;)

You guys DO realize that these cars use very different engines, right? The Z33 is an N/A vehicle whereas the Z32 is a twin turbocharged vehicle. And the Z32 makes more HP than the 350Z anyways. So naturally the 350Z will lose a drag race against a 300ZX.

BTW, drag racing is useless in determining automotive performance.

Yeah, he knows one is N/A and the other is TT. He already made a comment on how he doesnt like the Z33 because it is N/A.

As for Turbocharged and N/A, the S15 Silvia has the same hp as the Honda S2000 and its turbocharged run silghtly slower than a Honda S2000 stock for stock.

Also, dont always think HP and Torque counts the most, the Honda S2000 with 240hp runs the same as the 350Z with 287hp. Weight also should be taken into consideration.

Actually its a driver race. Depending on the driver skills both car run high 13s most of the time. Fastest time for the Nissan 350Z i heard is 13.7s and the 300ZX TT at 13.5-13.6s. Those times are with professional drivers behind the wheel, so average drivers would run around 13.9s about the same.

300ZX arent that much faster than a 350Z.

Useless?! No. Its not useless at all. In reality its pretty important.

People determine automotive performance by 0-60mph times, 1/4 times, and top speed. Along with skid pad, and such.

just because a car has more HP doesnt mean its faster


rollazn's said pretty much everything i wanted to say

Honda S2000 vs Nissan 350Z - not the case here

SRT4 vs G35- not the case here

Mitsubishi Evolution vs Nissan 350Z

Mitsubishi Evolution vs Subaru Impreza STi - about the same with STi more power ;)

i can mess up all different combination, by the statement you think Power is the only thing that matter in drag racing is wrong.

Oh, sorry. I meant that it is useless in terms of all around performance. The only thing that drag racing tests is engine performance (a far cry from the total performance of a vehicle).

When people talk about all around performance they take everything into consideration from 0-60 to top speed, including the 1/4 times.

Alot of people compare 1/4 times even the magazines do it, if its so useless then why do they even compare.

I said ALL AROUND performance.

:lol: Someone else try to deal with this, i cant do it. :lol:


Anyways sure for ALL AROUND performance, 1/4 times arent worth anything. :rolleyes:


I still go with my idea, that if someone want an All around performance idea of a car it would include skid pad, 0-60, 1/4, top speed, and even how it handles on the track maybe. But thats just me, crazy o' me.

Noone will agree with me. Im wrong your right. Your awesome! :lol:
 
I must concur, that ALL around performance includes, top speed, acceleration, skid pad, and decelration, with drag racing you have 3 out of the four, there's more, but those are the four basic ones

OK, Drag Racing is the be all, end all of automotive performance. I mean, why bother with lap times or slalom runs. All that matters is how fast you can go in a straight line.

And while we're at it, lets get rid of braking distance; hell, that has nothing to do with engine performance, which is CLEARLY the most important factor, according to your inane ramblings.

I'm done here. Anyone who wants to talk s***, PM me.

They'll think "wow, look how stupid and pointless and off topic this thread got":) I would stop now if I were you
 
Braking distance is not a part of performance???
WTF is that, Races are won in the turns there buddy.

I was being sarcastic. I was merely demonstrating that there are other aspects of performance than just going in a straight line.

Hey Nismo im not trying to piss you off in any way. Lets go over our conversation in here alright?

End of Disscussion

Summary

Nismo think 1/4 are useless in all around performance.

Roll think 1/4 arent useless in all around performance.

Both think that skid pad, track time, braking distance, slalom mph, etc...



Who was wrong in this little disagreement?

Hmmmm. In my defense, I was in an extremely bad mood when I wrote many of those posts and was looking for a fight.

Also, I am surprised that a little blurb at the end of one of my posts would lead to such an argument.

But ultimately, I apologize for not fully reading what you posted.
