JohnS1 - I did not want to die stupid so I tried to get some info on this and apparently at 5000 feet, the loss to a turbo is minimum, the loss to a NA can be around 5% per 1000 feet, let’s assume a 25% loss, the 350Z would still deliver more power/torque, lighter, better grip as pointed by eltonsi and that is even before considering the mods on the 350Z - minor but still compared to a stock 2.0T... Am I still going to die stupidor does that make some sort of sense?

JohnS1 – I tried to dig a little deeper but 1) I don’t have the time, 2) my connection to the internet is pretty slow lately - it svcks to wait and 3) I do not care THAT much.We can agree that this is the horse power formula hp=(2*π*torque*rpm)/33,000 or simplified hp=rpm*torque/5,252. So, if hp went down 15% and we only have 2 parameters and assuming that the rpm is the same, torque also went down proportionally. Although logical, it relies on the assumption that rpm remains constant and in reality I do not know if it is the case.
Overall, I am still a little shock at the difference especially since MexA3 mentioned that it is not a unique case but is usual for him to beat the Z, GTs, etc.
Damn, that was my only chance to beat anybody on this forum! [sm=lol.gif][sm=lol.gif][sm=lol.gif]
Chef, cwdilg,why don't you drink the tequila and then I can beat the both ofyou at the same time!
To MexA3 - Seriously now, keep the video coming and the time. I noticed that all the cars that you mentioned are NA, you are going to have to race another Turbo before I can be 100% convinced, well 99% anyway.
Where are you in Mexico? DF? I go to Mexico 2 to 3 times a year on business. I am going to have to try to take some time away and check this out. I usually go to DF for shows, Guadalajara &Cancun -yes on business- and sometimesMonterrey. If I can make it work, I want to see this with my own eyes.

Chef – the answer is yes, what is the question?...I will send you a PM andI hope you have a good sense of humor before reading what comes below.
Call me DADDY because after the beating[sm=outcold.gif] [sm=chairshot.gif]you will receive you will find yourself back in diapers with a pacifier in your mouth so we don’t have to hear you crying [sm=boohoo.gif]as you crawl back to your mama….[sm=loser.gif]
[sm=joke.gif]– you know French people have to run their big mouths… I know you told me of a good Irish saying about this but I cannot help it, it is genetics…

Hmmm...I haveall of the performance modson that list but one, so make sure you get the Big Turbo Olivier, or you will definitely lose. You know that the French suck at driving so you'll need all the extra horsepower you can get.[:-]

smarsenal - I already have to suffer Chef but at least he is Irish and thus from the right side of the Atlantic but insult me with a Canadian French parrot? That is the worst insult I have received yet on this forum and I have received a lot (mostly from Chef). I would not stand for this and demand reparation. I have seen the car you drive and remember a discussion on Evo vs. A3 with a certain someone who shall remain nameless so we cannot take tothe road, so the only way to resolve this is good old fashioned 18th century duel[sm=violent053.gif].
