88 GTA vs Early to Mid 90's Nissan 300ZX?
Anyone know what a Nissan 300ZX runs, I pulled up beside one the other day and it the guy wanted to race but I was turning the other way at the lights.....looked pretty sporty though. Don't know what year it was, probably early to mid 90's.

I thought they were pretty quick. 13s if I'm not mistaken. There was this site of them and a few were modded heavily running mid 12s so they may even run low 14s. They are quick tho.

Those things are i think 300 HP cars from the factory, only running like 5 psi of boost. I'm guessing thats a mid-14 car. I have no idea how they do with mods, but i know theres lots of room left to up boost pressure. SHould be a good race.

Unless it's the NA version. It should say TT or Turbo or something like that all over it. Otherwise, it's probably a pretty even race looking at your mods.

Car: '86 TransAm WS6
Engine: 305 TPI
Transmission: Custom TH700R4
I have a grey '90 (N/A A/T) 300ZX sitting next to my 86 T/A in my driveway, and the T/A is probably faster to 50-55mph from a standing start, but the Z builds revs like my 1/2" Black&Decker. It goes from 50 to 90 in the time it takes to spit.
In a race on a theoretical endless dragstrip, the F-body will get out in front first, but around 80-90 mph, the Z-car get away from it.
Spotting Tip: 0n 90-96 Z cars, Turbos are distinguished by intercooler intakes on the corners of the front spoiler, and a small, flat spoiler on the edge of the rear deck. The one 'Twin Turbo' badge is on the tail light panel below said spoiler.

I've beaten a couple of N/A 300Z's in my 86 LG4 Trans Am. I am hoping that with my TPI setup, headers and full 3" exhaust I'll be able to keep up with the Turbo Z's.
