CTATV Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Hey there, a friend of mine in town has a 350z, black on black with stereo stuff and nothing that ups the power. My 06 Spec.B is stock as of now. in 6 months or so when i graduate ill be adding AP stg I, SPT catback exaust. How do the two compare performance wise on the strait line either roll on or dead stop? just curious, because ive been informed by multiple people who didnt even know what a legacy GT was that my car was so far off from it and i dont really know much about the Z other than its a sweet car too, so i figured id see what you all have to say...

05GT Guru Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 What year, the earlier years started at 270hp which you would probably take, but the new years are around 300 which i have seen good drivers run 13.6s 13.7s with and legacys are 14s. If both cars are stick id say drivers race with a slight edge to the 350 if its a newer one. From a roll i would give the edge to the 350z but like i said 350z from different years have different power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urfsin Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Run him at a track and see what happens!! P.S. Get a good launch or you are toast. Slide It Sideways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTATV Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 its like brand new, no more than 2 years old but i think newer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gire Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Race him thru the city at night and the first person to chicken out from the insane speeds is the loser. G35's and 350Z's are basically on par with the Legacy GT stock for stock. Now, some lunatic will probably chime in and tell us what happened with his street race after both cars hit 100mph+... but I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTATV Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 We all KNOW that the spec B is faster every thread. am I supposed to just say Legacy GT, its not. its a Spec.B thats what it is... figured id point out its the 06 spec.b to confirm it doesnt have the inteligent drive nor does it have the 6 spd like the newer ones do.

CTATV Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 of course any race would be closed course, but im curious by how much people underestimate my car... I like that they do... of course a challenge to a snow race would be more interesting from my point of view Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05GT Guru Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 If you can launch the car well you do stand a good chance, if not he will win, liek i said from a roll they have the advantage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTATV Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 Admittedly new to manual as a main mode of transport (driven stick pickup trucks for years but not a car as my own car) where would most of you launch from? Ive been riding dirtbikes since first grade I know to get a holeshot on a bike you get about mid throttle and drop the clutch, can you drop the clutch safely in the car, if so at what RPMs would you be doing it at?

05GT Guru Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Well you cant just drop the clutch, you best bet is to side step it at like 5500 or so, some people say thats a good way to blow your clutch, but how are you gonna know waht you and your car can do if you dont try. People who say things liek that shouldnt buy the performance version of cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguin Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Given two good drivers in a 1/4 mile race at a track, you will have the edge to 60mph, but the Z will run you down by the end of the 1/4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

05GT Guru Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 /agree, 350s cant launch for shit and street tires but the fact that they make more hp and have less drivetrain lose means more power is hitting the ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godwhomismike Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 That should be a real good race on a 1/4 mile track. Let us know what happens. Post times and slips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyMtnGT Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 +1 Get a good start (AWD FTW!) and crack off some good shifts and you should be able to keep it damn close since you are probably at, or at least close to sea level... http://www.caranddriver.com/features/12245/2007-subaru-legacy-25gt.html lists the fastest cars under 35k on their site, and has the 350z as 3rd and the LGT as 4th!

CTATV Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 well im in RI at school but i imagine it should happen sometime My buddy has 500 acres with a grass airstrip with big fields on both sides of the road that runs parralell, a private road not public access. so that is the most likely location. its a strait half mile strip of pavement... and how much do you think my 18s, being heavier, will or wont affect acceleration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camber Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 You'll win from a standing start on the street type surface. If you get a good launch. From a moderate speed roll it'll be pretty even unless at higher speeds. If you were stage 2, I don't think a stock Z would win. That's of course with equal drivers. Remember, to turn off you TCS if you plan on launching the spec. B. The TCS will cause the car to bog. I like 4-5k rpm letting the clutch out easy untill I feel the friction point or the clutch starts grabbing. Then just fully let out the clutch at that point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camber Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 The new 2007+ 350Z dyno +250 WHP but are heavy cars for their size. The previous versions vary from low to mid 200 WHP. It'll most likely be a drivers race in a straight line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTATV Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 I dont think the 06 has any of that stabilty traction control stuff. thanks for the advice on the clutching Camber. My only racing experience with a clutch has been on 2 stroke dirtbikes in low traction surfaces like dirt roads or fields so thats nothing like a car on the street. didnt do a whole lot of racing in the F350 with a mowing trailer on the back although that thing was a monster. the gas power 460 V8 with the 5 speed in it. wawawiwa you could start from dead stop with a trailer in 3rd gear no gas on a flat surface Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
