i have to wonder if that old school MR2 was a supercharged or not though.

hahahaha! yeah!!

That was $$$

it does make me a bit sad though that nissan chose to take a step backwards with the current Z.

well, who is (was) their competition?
 

With the 300zx they had to compete with the RX-7, the Supra, and the Vette. When it came out in 89-90 it blew the doors off everything else, only the redesigned RX-7, Supra and top model Vettes that came out a couple years latter AFTER they knew what to try to beat were in the same league. Now, the Z is still better than most if not all of its competition (price wise) i.e.RX-8, New Mustang... what else is there in the two door coupe division? There is no way it competes with the new vette (its less than 1/2 as much in price and nearly 1/2 in power). So for the money about 26k to start roughly 1/2 the cost of the 1996 z, its a pretty good deal.

Hey the 3Fiddy put up a good battle! The Z32 just barely won with twin turbos and the 350 is N/A.

The tt had a bad launch. Look at the video I posted above you.

In that second vid...no way that 260 is anywhere near stock....

I thought it was pretty representative.....all the 0-60 and ET times I've seen for the TT Z32 and 350Z are just a few tenths of a second different. That 350 in the second video must be an automatic or bad driving or something....

I totally agree. It was hauling balls

i dont think they went backwards, the naturally aspirated 350z v6 barely lost to a twin turbo 6cyl. how fast do you think that car would be if it was also twin turbo? its not hard to do because there are tons of FI 350's out there. that being said, you are correct it is still "slower" from the factory which does suck. :(

also let me add i think those two cars come down to a drivers race. lol sorry for getting of subject :)

heu check this one out! car pigeons!

awsome, both my cars trampin everyone. Z32 and 260 FTW!!!! and it could very well be stock. teh carbbed Z's were MUCH faster than the EFI ones actually mostly due to emmmissions. the 260 may not have been stock but i dont think it had much on them. all those cars were still very quiet

performance is not the only thing i took into consideration when calling the z33 a step backwards. IMO, looks and quality suffered heavily as well. taking all factors into consideration, i would say it is a wash between the s30 and z32. in fact, i would have to say the z33 takes last place in my eyes, unless we consider the z31 2+2.
