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 |

hey guys....im new to this forum and I don't know much about the 914s. Anyways, what are the popular engine swaps for these cars? and what 1/4 mile times are you guys pushing out? I'm not a drag race fanatic, but I like using the 1/4 mile timeslip to get an idea of a car's accelaration.
Great looking cars you guys got....by the way. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) |
