has anyone raced a turbo 300zx? what kind of chance does the s2k stand with twin turbo 300zx? (i belive the question would go same for supra turbo, 3000gt vr-4) ive defintly seen that the non-turbo's are slow.
stock, a well driven S will take an equally driven 300ZX. 300ZXs dont get very good traction even with traction control, and alot of them are not in too good of condition now. supra turbo will eliminate an S2000 everytime, and depending on what year/condition, the VR4 could beat the S, or have the same outcome as the 300ZX

What does a Supra turbo run stock??

I believe with a good driver like 13.8 or something? If so I could see an S2k catching 1 off gaurd and catching the supra slippen...??? But then again, what supra is stock?!

A Supra TT runs mid 13's when driven well. I really don't see an S taking one, unless its a low'ish speed race and the driver isn't very good. As for the 300zx TT, they actually run high 13's, low 14's...so I don't see a problem with an S2K beating one in a 1/4 mile race. I believe 300zx TT's have a stronger top-end though, so no luck there. I'll be running my friend who has a lightly modified 300zx TT soon enough, so I'll let you guys know of the results. He only has an exhaust, and perhaps intake, so he has the advantage, but its all in good fun anyway.

To the original thread starter, good kill

If an S2000 driver beats a supra turbo in a straight away race then he's very very lucky and should not race again b/c you're likely to be lucky only once.

ah... don't post the result here b/c you will get the card and be flamed to a crisp.

I actually have raced a turbo ZX. Im not sure if it really was a TT. He was a cocky kid and he kept creeping up and lettin off, so I could here his BOV. My lil brother said it would "smoke" me, so I raced him. LOL. It was from a slight roll... I was high in 1st gear, and let it rip from there. I had him right off the back. I had the top down. He kinda kept up through 2nd but through 3rd I pulled about 3-4 car lengths on him. I finally let it off in 4th. I never saw his rear so didn't see any badge. All I know is that the kid was mad, cuz he didnt even look over when he cruised by me..

(I just have intake and exhuast )

Stock 300's that are turbo'd are always TT. If he had an aftermarket turbo..he had some issues. Sorry

i drive a 01 NFR s2k with h.t. just had it for lil over a month now.. This car is sweeeeet, and ive been loving it. i haven't had a real race with the car since ive had it.. so my cousin was over my house, and he drives a 300zx with intake, (non turbo). we decided to race. so found a nice open industrial area, 4 lane street. we lined up to race, my friend flagged for us, we both took off at the same time.. i started to pull by the time i shifted into second.. pull 1 car in second, as i shifted to 3rd and through 3rd gear, i pulled about a good 3-4 car lenghts on him. we raced the second time, same results. was a good race im sure i couldva done better w/out the H.T. and better launch.. i launched at 4300 rpms.. stock tires. at what RPM's do you guys launch for best take off?
300Z should be real easy for S2k ... 300Turbo should be fun race but still kinda easy , as for VR4 .. my buddy raced one from a 30 MPH roll i believe ..maby a little faster ... The VR4 guy had about a 2 car lead on him from the start ...(he was gonna stay back while the VR4 and a couple other cars went at it ..) anyway .. my buddy pulled on him from the start ..he has 04' S2k With Cold Air Intake at the time ..and pulled by him just fine .. it was a nice race ..i need to link video for it ..
