got walked by tt 300zx
i was headed down the local highway and im following a red 300zx , i look for Twin Turbo badges they have and dont see any, so i figure i would beat him, well i get up beside him and he floors it, and so do i . he takes me by like 7-8 cars and im dumbfounded. so we get up to the stoplight and i asked him if it was a twin turbo and he said yeah, turns out he was a local 300zx nut with like 30 of them sitting at his shop, and he tells me this is his SLOW ONE. anyways it was fast but only the second import ive lost to.

Those 300ZX are fast stock. I think they run high 13's-low 14's with a good driver. A kid at my school has a tt 300ZX, his is stock for now. Hopefully his turbos with break on him, then I when I get my camaro I can have fastest car in school.

Those TT 300zx's are NICE!!!! cars, almost bought one instead of the T/A. And they do look great (in an import kinda way) when you put the stillen body kits and stuff on

300z is nice but for a Japan Supercar it's probably the worst.
Whats with these car makers that still use t-tops. They were cool in the 70s and 80s but jesus they are horrid on new cars and yes this includes new TAs and Camaros. Wouldn't these cars look about 1000 times better with a Targa like every other car with a removable top. The GN is still faster with one turbo.

wow, I have to disagree, you say they'd look 1,000x better if they only did away with a bar. ITS ONLY A BAR cant see it with the tops on except for a 1" peice of molding, and with them off, ITS ONLY A BAR
GN may be quicker in a straight 1/4. but I am told the 300zx TT will do between 180-200 from the factory (well when they were made), and also the 300zx is big enough that it has some weight but no to much, they probobly handle very well
Not specifically trying to defend it, but that is one import that is a nice car, it belongs rite up there with the Supra TT

i pulled up along side a TT yellow one, i dont know if he dumped it going 30 or not but all i heard was the squeal of his tires...i love the 300z's, those supras, and rx-7s are great import rides. as for that mitsu guy, dont be a dick, we just got rid of Camaro_1967_RS or whatever we dont need another poon running around posting stupid stuff. p.s. i guess technically your right about a mod is a mod, but this is the racing forum, i doubt the headlights gave ya hp, or did they

Supra, 300ZX, and RX7 - three Jap cars worth the attention, others are so-so at best.

I think the governer is set at 155mph but if you take that off it has the aerodynamics to go more.
The 300zx was not meant to be a 1/4 mile car. The GN is faster in the 1/4 but anything above 80 or 100 I would say the 300zx has it. It's more of a highway car.
I give the 300zx a lot of respect because it was the car that basically changed how a lot of cars were made. It was the first japanese car in the US (that I know of) to have at least 300hp. That prompted the VR-4, the RX-7, and the Supra to eventually come out.
Oh and of course this ranting has nothing to do with me having one in the past.

GN were probally one of the best, if not the best, American turbo car evermade(excluding the Turbo T/A of course). GN respond very easily to mods from what I have heard. The 300ZX look more as to be a roadster, or leisure car. So of course they are going to have better top-end than a GN stock to stock. The 300ZX are 2 seaters, aerodynamic and have a 5 spd, while the GN looks like a freaking land yacht, or old grandma's grocery getter. But once they get modded, the GN would come closer at top-end. Correct me if I am wrong, but doesnt it take about a $1000 to get a GN into the 12's?

Probobly less that $1,000
and the 300zx could be had in the 2+2 model, whichis not a 2 seater.

They did not sell any 2+2 TTs here in the US, only in japan. So if you see one(highly unlikely) it was either imported from japan or it was an engine swap.

but remember these cars wheren't made for 1/4 mile like the GN
these where made for turns. lets see a GN do what the 300z can in the twist
and if you could make a 300z get a good launch I'm sure it would do just as good if not better then the GN stock for stock... but the 300z can not launch at all

Well, we have a Z in the family, a 1990 N/A 2-seater. Even though all of my cars have been V8 Pontiacs, I was a Z nut before I found my T/A. It's a great road car, even if the seats are a little snug for long trips. According to the build sheets, the Z checks in at just under 3200 lbs, while the T/A is about 3600. It feels, however, like it weighs 2600 lbs. I love the steering in that car, it's the tightest setup i've ever driven, with the exception of a Formula SAE. It launches pretty well, not as hard as my Ponchos, but it gets away from most traffic. It's best at speed, though. Get on an on-ramp and roll the pedal to the floor. That V6 will spin all the way to 6800, and once you hit 4 grand, the motor comes on the cam(s) and it's like someone switched on the HyperDrive. It handles like a slot car, but it doesn't give you much warning when you exceed your limits (might be the tires, Dunlop SP4000), although it is way easier to catch and recover than the T/A.
Great brakes, too. 4-Piston front, on 12" disks, 10" 2-piston on the rear. I wish I could afford brakes like that for my T/A.
Oh, yeah, the 2+2: It shares nothing with the 2 seater from the A-pillars back, except the wheels, tail lights, and the diff carrier. The 2-Seater actually has a bulkhead for the rear suspension directly behind the front seats. There's less room back there than a standard cab pickup.
