My co-worker has a 2004 350 and he always turns his nose up at my car. The other day he snickered at my idea of putting some wider tires on my car. Basically he said "Why would you do that?...your car doesn't have enough power to turn em!!". Is there a configuration that could blow away a 350Z at least in the straight away? Is this even comprehendible with a 4 banger?
Z specifications: 287 horsepower. 274 lb-ft of torque. curb weight 3,400 |

I agree with the others, anyone can drive in a straight line, well except my neighbors wife but that is a different story.
Will (qa1142) & I were at my SCCA regions AX this past Sunday. His 74 1.8L & my 70 with a 73 2.0L both had raw times faster (53.294 & 53.270) than the 03 Dodge Viper(54.669), 04 WRX (53.329), 04 SRT Neon (54.825), 04WRX STI (53.374) and....... my point is all these cars will kick our (stock) ass in a straight line. Just because you have mega HP doesn't mean you know how to use it. |
