You asking me? Why would I do that... maybe add 300cc worth of Nitrous to make up for your bigger displacement ![Smile](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
If you had a 8.969... you probably will hit 13's... how does the MPH compare... that is more reflective of the second half of a 1/4-mile race!

damn this tread is so god damn ridiculous
with equal drivers
auto Z vs auto Cl-S =Z will win
6spd Z vs 6spd Cl-S =Z will win
what is the problem
3.5L 287 hp DOHC RWD vs. 3.2L 260 hp SOHC FWD
im sorry but the numbers just favors the Z. i have driven both cars except the auto Z and i can say the Z is faster PERIOD

Hmm
Sidemarker: I completely agree with you.
Maximised is having rejection issues and feels even a well-modded CL-S (6spd) will lose to a STOCK 350Z (6spd).

typeR your beefed up cl-s is rated 3.5L 300 hp SOHC FWD, IT IS obvious that you can beat a 3.2L 260 hp SOHC FWD CL-S or even a 3.5L 255 hp DOHC FWD Maxima, would you agree without looking at weight gear or even its area under the curve?
i was simply just making the point that the cl-s can not hang with a Z. im pretty sure your car can but no stock cl-s in this world could beat a Z with equal drivers.

Nice race.
My cousin just got a Z last month, he got a base model for like 27k. I got to admit, it's a hell of a deal for a nice looking sports car. We haven't gotten to run yet cause he's not broken in, but we've played around a bit, I know I can hang with him in some gears. They are by no means blindingly quick in stock form...about as quick as an Lt1 I think.
My cousin told me that Stillen is about to drop a SC for it soon, like 70whp.
Check it out fellas http://www.freshalloy.com/site/featu...len/home.shtml

Look at the facts and you will see that my statement is highly possible. The Z puts down nearly as much hp as a 6 speed CL-S with mods. Now lets factor in a 200 lbs weight difference and a superior coefficient of drag. You probably raced a guy who didnt know how to drive his car to the fullest potential. It takes time to get good performance numbers out of a car. If it didnt, then the first time at the track we would be running record et's. Wait some time and you will see some good numbers coming in.

My Maxima is a nice car and thats about it. I never said that I cannot get beat or Nissans in general. You guys own a nice car too and I recognize that. But YOU think you own a Benz or Ferrari. All your cars are the best or the fastest, but thats all a fantasy world you live in.

Get a fucking clue that not everyone else has the same preference as you. A lot of us don't give a shit about your racetrack argument and just care about what actually happens on the street since that's what really matters to us.
That doesn't make us somehow "think we are great drivers." Stop putting words into our posts that aren't there just so you have something to argue about when there really is nothing to be said.

"A Maxima that ran a 14.3 on street tires running a Auto Z from a roll and pulling barely a 1/2 car...sounds plausible to me. "
And per your quote above..a modded maxima that runs 14.3 on street tires without some parts of the interior can run or beat a Z. But why can't a modded CL-S with interior beat one?! And our mods create alot more hp than yours plus we have more hp and TQ to start with than that year Maxima. lol!

Your a ricer and will never learn. Anything can happen on the street, but you cannot see that. Just cause it happens on the street doesnt mean its the gospel. Keep up the street racing, it will lead you to countless speeding tickets and possibly injury.

Back on topic now:
The new Z is putting down ~240 RWHP and the a modded 6 speed is around that figure also. BUT the Z weighs roughly 200 lbs less than the CL-S and has a better CD. The 350Z has RWD, which is superior for performance also. Please tell me how why physics dont apply to this race?

Maximized, like goldtypes and I stated, the auto z is slow for what it is. I don't recall nowhere, seeing the AUTO z in the low 14s. How hard is it to launch a car in AUTO? Answer that! You can brake torque, feather the throttle or whatever else but if your shit is stock and every damn company states you are at 14.7-14.8 how much time do you really think you can shave off of that. I don't like mag racing neither, but I use a few sources and compare data to get at least an average of cars performance. Furthermore I drove the new z in AUTO. Number don't mean shit because i can list a whole bunch of cars that produce numbers and have good weight distribution but are SLOW. Nissan over rates cars PERIOD. To the whole damn infiniti line to the maxs. Intake/headers on a cls, we put out the same numbers of a auto z. If the max on maxima.org runs 14.3 and alot of members here on our board with headers and intake run 14.3, what is so hard about beating a AUTO z? You believed the max story, why not ours?? Your contradicting yourself again.

Hi folks, I'd like to put in my 2 cents. I was active on this board earlier, I was interested in buying a CL-S 6 speed. I test drove one, it's a very nice car. Pretty quick for a 4 seater.
However, I finally decided against the CL and bought a 350Z Touring, which I've put about 3200 miles on so far.
Given the same driver, the Z is faster than the CL. Not by a whole lot, but it's faster. With different drivers, on the street, the results could be swapped.
A lightly modded CL, ie. short of a SC or turbo will probably still lose to a well driven Z. I say this because of my belief that an intake, headers and exhaust do not add huge amounts of hp.
Physics still count for something.
Please note, the CL is very much a nice car. If I had the need for the 2 extra seats, I would seriously consider it.
An interesting question would be how the CL does against a Infinit G35C. Those two I think would compare much better.

Rouxeny: Thanks for the informed opinion.
I would just like to counter one thing you mentioned:
Actually, on the CLS, headers give a pretty large increase in power compared to most other cars. (25-30 wheel hp)
A I/H/P + tires 6 speed CLS should have a few more dyno HP than a 6 speed Z (stock). I think the race would basically be a drivers race. If the Z is modded, I think for now, short of a SC for the CLS, the Z wins hands down.
Modded Auto CLS (mine) vs. Auto Z should be a very good race too.
I really like the Z and it may be my next car. I was just staying my $.02
I would just like to counter one thing you mentioned:
A lightly modded CL, ie. short of a SC or turbo will probably still lose to a well driven Z. I say this because of my belief that an intake, headers and exhaust do not add huge amounts of hp.

You can have bad track conditions, weather, missed a shift, bogged, revlimiter, and a whole bunch of factors at a track. If i told you i raced from a stand still to about 110, what conditions rule out that, the other driver was phucked?
Maximized, like goldtypes and I stated, the auto z is slow for what it is. I don't recall nowhere, seeing the AUTO z in the low 14s. How hard is it to launch a car in AUTO? Answer that! You can brake torque, feather the throttle or whatever else but if your shit is stock and every damn company states you are at 14.7-14.8 how much time do you really think you can shave off of that. I don't like mag racing neither, but I use a few sources and compare data to get at least an average of cars performance. Furthermore I drove the new z in AUTO. Number don't mean shit because i can list a whole bunch of cars that produce numbers and have good weight distribution but are SLOW. Nissan over rates cars PERIOD. To the whole damn infiniti line to the maxs. Intake/headers on a cls, we put out the same numbers of a auto z. If the max on maxima.org runs 14.3 and alot of members here on our board with headers and intake run 14.3, what is so hard about beating a AUTO z? You believed the max story, why not ours?? Your contradicting yourself again.
:P

Now, how does Nissan overrate the Z???? It dynos at 240 RWHP and that is what it should be putting down. Autos are easier to drive, especially from a roll. BUT obviously autos are somewhat hard to launch or we wouldnt be seeing bad 60' times. No one has taken an auto Z to the track and reported about it, so no one really knows what it runs. It should be a low 14s car with a good launch though.
I have never disbelieved the race the original poster said. I never called BS on the guy. I just pointed out that the Z's on the street are new and not fully broken in. Find me one Acura CL owner in a 6 speed that ran record times not broken in and only having the car for less than 3 months. If someone did that, they are one hell of a drag racer.

Go ahead, I don't care. You are just a stupid ass kid making yourself look worse and worse till finally you might get banned one of these days from this forum. How can they be lies when locals saw it, but idiots at clubsi and other places assume they are lies because THEY NEVER SAW IT since they are all over the country.
lol! No sir, your buddys at Maxima.org are the main reason gods chariot started not just me. I was once blinded like you are, and no longer have been.
See everyone, he is trying to toss the blame, but everyones sees him making gods chariot obviously is the Maxima. lol!

Hi folks, I'd like to put in my 2 cents. I was active on this board earlier, I was interested in buying a CL-S 6 speed. I test drove one, it's a very nice car. Pretty quick for a 4 seater.
However, I finally decided against the CL and bought a 350Z Touring, which I've put about 3200 miles on so far.
Given the same driver, the Z is faster than the CL. Not by a whole lot, but it's faster. With different drivers, on the street, the results could be swapped.
A lightly modded CL, ie. short of a SC or turbo will probably still lose to a well driven Z. I say this because of my belief that an intake, headers and exhaust do not add huge amounts of hp.
Physics still count for something.
Please note, the CL is very much a nice car. If I had the need for the 2 extra seats, I would seriously consider it.
An interesting question would be how the CL does against a Infinit G35C. Those two I think would compare much better.

Headers alone add 30 hp to our car, add intake, udp, exhaust, thats easily another 20.
With those mods our CL-S in auto will take a auto Z without a problem, 6spd will do the same against a 6spd Z. You don;t know alot about our cars since you haven't owned one.

For everyones info. I found this post at my350z.com.. All I can say is with Headers alone we will kill the Z.
350z Auto Dyno #'s...
Dyno results for the automatic
Heres my results from some dyno testing with my Automatic useing the tiptronic.
rwhp = 226 3rd gear ( tiptronic)
Tourqe = 214 3rd
rwhp = 214.6 4th gear ( tiptronic)
tourqe = 214.7 4th
So your losing around 21% with the automatic. I looked for some results on this site from a standard dyno but could not find any would like to see the difference in loss in auto vs standard. im thinking 1-2%. So if any of you standard owners have dynoed pls post your results.

BTW.....I dont think the Maxima is gods chariot. I dont plan on having next year. Any time I want to drive a superior car I can take a A8 or 330i for a cruise.

You have already made yourself look like a ass. Good don't post, because everyone is sick of your BS lies on here.
