I’d be curious to see how much faster your car is than my stock 2013. It’s got the elite package so u know the cooled seats makes it a bit faster.

[@RevsALot]

[@PiterStreak]

Great run! 370Z has weight advantage and power curve advantage. those suckers hold power from 6k rpm to 7.5k rpm. the j37a4 peak power at 6.2k rpm and by 7k, they actually drop power (10-15whp) even worse with boost unfortunately. Thats why he pulls harder on the top end.

[@RevsALot]

Thanks! Yah the TL with stock Pre cats and no intake definitely drops after 6300, but with full exhaust, intake, and tune it'll pull right to 7.5k also.

[@RevsALot]

2012+ you should be fine, only issues is oil burning. I've read of driveshaft propellor issues for 09-11. As long as it was well maintained, all fluids changed at correct intervals and the gears are smooth as butter you're good. Also, there was a letter sent out to j37a4 owners for a top end rebuild due to the oil burning, so can ask if that's been done. All around an amazing car for all weather conditions, and the ELS sound system is 🔥. Better than the 2015-20 TLX ELS. Worse case you're going to burn 1-2 quarts in between oil changes.
