370z Twin Turbo vs Hellcat GTR STI CTSV

Not the best angles, I need more GoPros!! Still so much fun at No Fly Zone. Day was insanely hot (got up to 114 degrees) so I needed to turn down the boost, but here is my trip through the Guantlet! Enjoy!

[@Schmegil]

You just made every z owner like their cars that much more.

[@Zero76_Z34]

round two coming 3/13!! Except 200 more whp ;)

[@evodingo3375]

Fast ass car man. Tell that GTR to put some respek on ya name!

[@floored3078]

Evo Dingo this 370z being fast is like having a fast civic.. lol no props. put an alpha 9 kit on a gtr and the z could never touch it.

[@SirtubalotTX]

Gtard? lol. Cut him some slack, GTRS are badarse and are the bigger, more evil brother to the Z. I suspect that this GTR is making a little more than 700 hp if the Z is at 640, judging by the 2nd race. I'm thinking 750..maybe closer to 800. That's a compliment to the Z. I'm a Mustang guy and a newer Mustang would probably need 800 plus to the wheel to get away from this VQ.

[@MkGli]

a 370z is literally a rwd naturally aspirated gtr.. just without the twin turbos.. but when you add them, it’s faster, and better

[@SirtubalotTX]

Not quite. Z is purposed as a driver's car, the GTR..more touring and halo with more power. That's one of the reasons I read that Nissan never added AWD to the Z, they didn't want to add weight or upset the balance they were going for. The VQ engines were not designed with boost in mind like the VR series but that's not too much of a detriment. The Z is definitely not a 'rwd naturally aspirated gtr' but I will admit, they are very nice with boost.

[@CmPx69]

I think this 370z should race a twin turbo Camaro ZL1.

Awesome man. I know Tony from Fast Intentions, great dude. We see eachother at the GTR meets all the time. They build great Z's.

Hey bro! I am considering a Boosted Performance single for my Z, but scared that the higher cylinder pressure is going to quickly mess up the engine. Is your block all stock?

stock block, but needed tuning and fuel system changes. Call Fast Intentions or Specialty Z if you're serious. They will get you hooked up with any q's you have!

my tt build should be on the road this oct.. how are your oil temps... anything custom on that end?

[@Zero76_Z34]

congrats man that's awesome! Never an oil temp issue in straight drag events, but in circuit Oil temps were terrible. Even had the 34 row oil cooler. I did keep her at high rpms on the track though. My recommendation is to either find a place for that oil cooler that gets a ton of airflow, and/or upgrade to something more than a 34 row. I've even seen dual 34 row coolers.

[@jponz85]

648whp 370z... more like 1,000...

[@jponz85]

and btw how could the gtr be 1 mph slower than you when the last race he was pulling in you slightly? lol wtf

[@Zero76_Z34]

I'll copy and paste this response from the other comment: During a half mile race, trap speed at the 1/2 mile is what is recorded. When he slightly pulled, That was me shifting into 6th gear. Always a slight disadvantage to manuals, but I broke caught back up to even again after gaining boost in that 6th gear. Which is why at the 1/2 mile mark I was .5 mph faster. Which is an insanely even race. Yes I agree he passed the finish line first, but that was very much attributed to taking off early. Thanks for watching bro!

[@jponz85]

Ryan Richardson props on your your car but I don't think the numbers match... I believe you have more hp than you stated

[@Zero76_Z34]

+Jonathan Pontel lol! I sure as heck wouldn't mind that!! It's all bc of the weight/hp combo. I'm much lighter than most of the cars I raced aside from the STI who had less power. It's amazing the difference. Mine is whp so if you take the standard 15% loss through the drivetrain that would put me at 750 to the crank. But I don't know that exact number for sure so I quote the whp ;)

[@michaelsevilla4275]

What build did you do?

[@dayadam16]

how did you trap higher when in the video he was either still pulling ever so lightly or it was even but never seen you pull back. Do they start the time when you cross and just measure what you achieved in that time cause if so that makes sense since he started before you and had a slight lead im guessing yall accelerated at the same pace towards top end but since you were behind a lil bit you had the whole half mile he didnt cause theirs no way your car trapped higher and hes still clearly pullin by millimeters

[@almightykeys4734]

It went ok. Either need new tires or figure out launching. Quite a bit of both really. I was either spinning or bogging. My best 1/4 was 11.5 at 128mph with a 2.160 ft. Funny thing is I had a 1/9 60 ft on another run but was 11.6. Just gotta dial her in ;)

[@Zero76_Z34]

even worse. Ugh. They prepped the track so well that I launched better and held through first, but it was so cold I just spun through second. They only prepped the launch pad essentially. This time my best was 11.6 with a 1.9 60 ft. Sucks man, one or the other eh?

Hopefully getting a G35x real soon. I know its not a 370z but well, what is? Insurance on the 37 would kill me, and I just gotta have leather seats and four doors, so no can do on the 250z, but the pickup with the AWD on the G35x is great (thank you VQ35HR) and according to my calculations I should get an extra 50hp or so just from adjustments to the air-fuel ratio and the cam timings (electric VVT and VVL FTW). If I manage to twin charge it though... we'll just have to see how close I can get it to 648hp :P
