335i vs 350z....

PuNiShEr · 08-14-2007, 04:13 PM

My car 2007 335i stock (Steptronic) with Ultimate Racing HKS blowoff valve kit.
2007 350z: Had after market exhaust and I believe an intake &
6sp manual / 306hp & 268 ft lbs of TQ. Well it all goes down like this.

On the way home today from work I have a little spirted driving with the above mentioned 350z. We never did a heads up pull together.

We were both coming out of a turn on to a straight with him in front. He accelerates and I try to anticipate the jump. We both nail it at the same time. He pulls on me a half a car length more then it just stays that way for about a half a mile at which point we both chill out. What gives

(and yes I know the blowoff valve does not make more power it just holds boost a lot better than the stock blowoff valves.) And of course he looks at me with this stupid grin on his face.:mad:

get a PROcede and you will spank him...

LOLrance · 08-14-2007, 04:16 PM

Actually the stock BOV holds boost just fine even if your running procede. But thats a totally different topic and different strokes for different folks.

The new Z is no joke. Specially since the 07's get the new VQ35HR and the manuals have a higher redline (7500k). Dont be fooled by those on the forum that believe the 335 is god and you can take any car out on the road.

PuNiShEr · 08-14-2007, 04:18 PM

Very well said l4wr3nc3. And I should know that. Just a little surprised..

sflgator · 08-14-2007, 04:19 PM

Since you met up with this guy on the hwy. and really don't know what he has under the hood, I'm guessing he might have a plenum spacer, racing pullies, a CAI, an exhaust, and maybe a couple extra things for an extra ~ 20+HP/TQ...so a close race is possible between you and him if my guesses are accurate.

Just get the PROcede, and you'll be the one to give the "smarta$s grin" as you fly by him like he's standing still again, and again, and again!

E90ice · 08-14-2007, 04:20 PM

Whats the big deal?

His car had some mods. Probably more than just an exhaust and intake, but even stock...their are not slow and they probably wieght less.

LODOSS · 08-14-2007, 04:37 PM

07's are putting down 250-260 rwhp stock.. with a few mods it should give him another 5-10rhwp.. seeing how the car is about 200-300 lbs lighter.. it should be a dead even race vs a 280-290 rwhp car.

i dont think its a god on the road, but the times clearly show its faster than a z

CarbonE39m5 · 08-14-2007, 07:04 PM

i find that surprising..ive dusted many 350z and g35s..although i dont know about them being 07s

renasis · 08-14-2007, 10:42 PM

didnt know the engine in the 07's makes that muck different. Since i have walked many 350z included my buddy's supercharged one, i didnt think is that hard to bit the 07's

TheAcAvenger · 08-14-2007, 10:44 PM

Punisher? you're local? do you remember anything visual about the car? alot of the z's around here are not stock. And when I say not stock, I mean they're running a whole lot more than exhaust and intake

JmanE55 · 08-15-2007, 01:44 AM

Get PROcede and find him for a rematch.

slick101 · 08-15-2007, 02:44 AM

i think it's maybe u didnt give it full throttle.... i hate pushing my car past it's limits....sometimes i think that i'm flooring it but then i realize i'm no where near the floor....but if u want that smartass grin on ur face it's a small price to pay...if u are absolutely sure that u gave it full throttle then cheers to the 350z for keeping up with a 335

doesn't matter, unless they went FI the most the could possibly get is like 30hp

termigni · 08-15-2007, 11:57 AM

350Z is no joke indeed esp. those 07 ones with 300+ hp. Like someone else just said, don't think your 335 is the king of the road.

precisely. there are at least 4-5 guys with sc'd or tt'd z's. A few of them tend to drive around together actually. Seeing 2 or 3 of them with intercoolers in your rearview mirror isnt exactly a pleasant site.

i thought it still revs at 7000. i thought the first nissan engine to rev at 7500 was the VQ37VHR

No, the HR (like in the '07 G35 Sedan) revs to 7,500 redline.

voltron1011 · 08-15-2007, 12:41 PM

Did the 350z have a slight bulge on the hood? That's the only way of telling if it's got the new engine or not (an '07)...

On a side note, doesn't the 350z have a limited-slip diff?

Yes, the 350Z, G35, and G37 all have a LSD (but of course that doesn't help in straight line acceleration from a roll).
