wnabeabeast your math was off bro.
that Z06 only beat the 2003 350z by 30 seconds. check the lap times.
the 370z would shave at least 20 seconds off that time. that would put the 370z only 10 seconds behind the Z06 over a 12 mile course!

READ AGAIN^Originally posted by THE BOUNCER View Post6 seconds is not generous at all. the 370 went around the lotus designed test track in 1:27.5 the 350z did it in 1:31.8. only 4 seconds you would say? well the difference is the lotus test track is only 1.75 miles long. the nurburgring is 12 miles long! over a 12 mile distance the 370 would eat much more time off the 350 then 6 seconds, more like 20-25 seconds. i really think you underestimate the 370 if you think its anything comparable to a 350. a 2003 350z that set that lap time you posted only had 287 horsepower. the 2009 370z has 330. a 2009 370z would murder a 2003 350z.
oh and you might want to check your math again. you said a C5 Z06 did a lap of 7:56 and a 2003 350z did a time of 8:26. the difference there is only 30 seconds. wtf you talking about with the whole 44 second rant? lol. the difference between the 370 and a 2001 Z06 would be very close.
if i confused with the above post. please go back and read what you said. your math was wrong my friend.

read my post again. i posted a few more things. your math was way off. it wouldnt even be 20 seconds.Originally posted by wnabeabeast View PostAre you kidding? 20 seconds is not a huge time gap? you claimed in many different threads that 0.5 second lap time difference is huge, now 20 seconds is not. Wow! Lmao :rofl:

Lmao :rofl:Originally posted by THE BOUNCER View Postbut even with all that horsepower the difference would only be about 20 seconds around the nurburgring not a massive 40 some seconds..

6 seconds is not generous at all. the 370 went around the lotus designed test track in 1:27.5 the 350z did it in 1:31.8. only 4 seconds you would say? well the difference is the lotus test track is only 1.75 miles long. the nurburgring is 12 miles long! over a 12 mile distance the 370 would eat much more time off the 350 then 6 seconds, more like 20-25 seconds. i really think you underestimate the 370 if you think its anything comparable to a 350. a 2003 350z that set that lap time you posted only had 287 horsepower. the 2009 370z has 330. a 2009 370z would murder a 2003 350z.Originally posted by wnabeabeast View PostFirst I didn't compare C5 Z06 to C6 Z06. I said an average Joe wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the two cars on or off the track, you have to be a pretty damn good driver to be able squeeze out that second or second and a half time difference from a car that built very similar to the one it's racing agains.
Second you can't catch shit in your POS Nissan. C5 Z06 did a lap in 7:56 around the Nurburgring and and Nissan 350Z did a lap in 8:26 back in 2003 so let me be generous and shave 6 seconds off it's lap time since they made all the improvments to your 370Z, you are still at 8:20 and that's my friend still 44 seconds behind C5 Z06.
So doesn't matter how you slice it you can never catch a Z06 regardless of it's age. :D
Oh here is the link for the official Nurburgring lap times.

he would get me in the straight line speed because of the simple matter of horse power. but when it comes to the corners i would catch him. and then like i said, around lap 20 his car would almost certainly fail being an older American car. :agreed:

the shell coming off was obviously a joke.Originally posted by wnabeabeast View PostBoth of you guys are smoking crack, Corvettes have been using the same hydro formed chassis since 1999, yes they have been making small tweaks since than but not enough to be noticed by an average Joe. so, doesn't matter how hard you throw that car in to a corner nothing will come off.
but if you think you can compare a 2001 Z06 to a Z06 of today you are the one smoking crack.Last edited by Bouncer; 09-18-09, 12:04 PM.

but in 2001 chevy were making cars with parts they found in the sewer. take that 2001 around a good corner and i bet the shell of the car comes off. :rofl:
