The other day this guy at work was driving a 350Z with a vortech supercharger and some nice wheels. He said it made 412 horses. So I asked him when were we going to race. So that night he gets behind me on the way home from work. He pulls up beside me on a straight away and we raced from 40mph. I stayed right beside him for the whole strech of about a mile I let off and he got in front of me. I was pretty proud of my car and dissapointed that a 412hp 350Z couldn't do anything more than just stay beside me. I love my car and would buy another one if I had the money. It just go's to show that American muscle can't be beat when it's at it's best. Hell yeah for the ford mustang.
You sure it was supercharged...ur not pushing 400hp are you?
but either way, nice job.

Ya, I sort of wonder at the 350z owner's claim of 412hp as well (or being supercharged at all). With what you list in your sig I don't see how you could even be over the 300 mark yourself.
Yeah, that kind of surprises me. I would think a properly aspirated 350Z would be able to pull away from the GT, being that stock for stock the two cars are pretty close to begin with.
Differences are that the Mustang adapts nicely to even mild mods while the Nissans struggle because they are so high strung to begin with.
Stock for Stock, the 05+ Mustang GT will dust a 350Z (even the 300hp version) If he was pushing 412hp that's probably at the flywheel which means he's probably closer to 350 RWhp not a big enough improvement considering you're driving a modified GT.

The performance shop I go to has a new 350Z as a "shop mascot". They just put a turbo kit on it and it is making around 375 at the wheels. I have seen it spank 450hp Cobra's.
375rwhp translates to 450 crank (roughly) Cobras are also very heavier becuase of the iron 4bolt main block and IRS (about 300lbs more I believe than even a stock 05+ stang which is way more than a 350Z)
Not a clue on the mascot car the shop runs but if all the guy had was Vortech on the street, I can see what was described happening (just keeping up with 05+ stang)

Ok, put a mildly modified GT against a turboed 350....NO contest....
I have a friend in Atlanta that has a 350 Z turboed and its mean...
And it can make turns....not just go fast in a straight line....
i have to agree, my friend has a 350z, and im waiting on getting my GT...but a supercharged Z is fricken fast. I would think you would need atleast a supercharger ur self...

I don't see why they'd pull the motor out to test it's hp rating...
