I feel the same way like you said here:

I hate drag VA cause 80% of the forums are young new Honda heads that don't know shit and make stupid coments in which they have no clue what they are talking about or make false claims like this...

With you having only intake and exhaust on a Teg making maybe 115WHP-120WHP and about 105 WTQ. My buddy dyno's his stock NA 93 Z at 191WHP and 197WTQ. Stock they run very low 15's and some have ran 14's and with headers and N20 that is a mid 13 sec. car with good conditions. They can launch hard with subframe spacers and the NA rear end and from a roll the TT's will own just like supra's. Either the Z runs like shit or your ass cheaks are flapping away like most E-Racers.
Z's are bad ass cars for the money and to make them run 12's it only takes a Stage III and about a grand.

like i said before, i wasn't trying to talk shit to you before. i was just trying to go in a little more detail for people.

i'm looking at getting a nice '91 N/A right now, but im kinda dreading it in a way because i know every wannabe ricer in virginia beach is going to revving on my ass trying to get me to run then. i no longer condone streetracing anymore and i can't afford another ticket because some high school punk wants to run his crx with a fart can

Man, ya'll are dumb. Everyone should know a 300zx could beat any stock civic or teg. Just look at the numbers. It's like 1st grade math class.

Which is greater?

222 or 120 ???

ANSWER: 222 > 120

Anyways, I'm looking at buying a 300zx myslef right now. At first I wasnt really concered if it was TT or not, since my $$ is kinda limited, but after some reading today, I'm kinda leaning toward saving for a long time just to get a TT and then saving a whole bunch more for mods.

Going to check out eBay right now to see what they're going for. I also wasnt concerend about the year.. I was just going for a 90-96, but now, I think I'm kinda leaning toward the newer ones...

Later,
Andrew

hah weight is just an imaginary thing, in reality all cars weigh the same.

power to weight ratio, is just a theory.

I almost bought a white 1991 TT.

Car was fun as hell to drive. It wasnt fast by any means, all it had was an exhaust..

But it felt like a real sportscar unlike every domestic car I've had which feel like V6 econoboxes with V8s tossed in them.

The power band was super smooth

I've owned 2 1992 300ZX's, both of them have seen 150+mph, stock, and N/A. I know plenty about the cars, they are fantastic pussy magnets, the t tops are great, the exhaust note lets you know it's a REAlL sports car... I've never had a ricer rev at me because the Z just LOOKS intimidating enough... I'd run them down in a heartbeat anyway, because I can drive, and it's a known fact that I am relentless and somewhat crazy. I got my first 300ZX for 3800 bucks!!!! My second one, a 2by2, perfect condition, for 6300 bucks!!! If you don't know much about the Z and don't have connections, the same goes with any car: You are going to get raped on parts. I can get a VG30DETT entire drivetrain for $1350, but I am looking to drop something a little more special in there instead... Yes, the engine bay sucks to work on, but learn your shit, be dedicated, and it's not so bad. a good TT you won't get for under 10K, unless you are very lucky. Fuck the norm, get a Z, and you will thank me. Most of what I have read here is beyond piss poor comparisons. If you are going to talk shit, please: KNOW WHAT THE FUCK YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. Any other questions, PM me and I'll be happy to help.

man you make the crappy Z sound almost decent, if our comparisons are lousy what would you like to compare it to?
