Better than fwd torque steer I'm sure.

Thanks I'll definitely get looking come the new year. Go and experience a couple. That's what I'm after silly power in a sensible car. The supercharged 350z is the right package at the right price for me. Tom

I'll test drive one nearer the time. I'm sure a passenger ride will more than corrupt me.

I'm in Rutland. Near Leicester. Cheers

Thanks nothing on the suspension list I wouldn't expect to fettle. The price of Japanese performance parts compared to French stuff is bum twitching. Come on someone volunteer to take me for a drive. Thanks Tom

Thanks buddy the kit car is a Stuart Taylor locost aries. Both my cars are good for 130mph that's the lot they just get there rapidly. I'd like to think It'd feel more nimble than I'm imagining but I'll concentrate on that once I know the power is adequate. Thanks for the info. Tom

The 205 has a power to weight ratio of 330 the kit car has a power to weight of 380 while a 400bhp 350z has a figure of 270. I'm just not sure if that'll slow compared to what I already have. Thanks

I've got a 205gti turbo and a high spec na kit car, na power doesn't push my buttons. I'd part with the kit car first then the 205 if the 350z was a worthy replacement. I just want to get a rough idea if it'll have enough horsepower and torque with the car weighing so much to still feel exciting. Thanks Tom

That's not too far. Thanks see if anyone else is closer. Tom

Hi there, I'm looking into buying a 350z next year already supercharged. From reading on here I'm looking for one sporting the vortech v3. Now my question is does anyone have one in the east Midlands area that would give me a passenger ride just so I know if it's the right decision. Thanks Tom

Cheers for all the continued welcomes.

Yeah I know what you mean. When you find out an ever so slightly better part is only marginally more expensive so go for that one. Then that sets a trend for your whole build. Always worth it in the end. Stebbs

Cons Car uses more fuel ~ who cares though & it is expected with any performance car. Car wants to be driven hard but can't be in stop/start traffic on my way to work ~ such is life, ...always going to be traffic at some stage on the roads. MPG/DTE computer's are FUBAR ~ never bothered with them anyway. Pros Car shows up a lot of more expensive performance cars and is more unique. Has the performance it should have had all along. Turns heads in a good way. Put's an even bigger smile on my face every time I drive it then it used to. Seriously though the only negative is the cost for doing this in the first place. If you buy an already supercharged Zed then you really do get a bargain imo. Thanks using more fuel isn't a massive issue, can't drive nice sounding cars without your foot on the loud pedal. I'd much prefer to buy an already sorted one, having done the work on the 205 I know it gets out of hand. Thanks for being so helpful, Stebbs

Thanks for the massive progress thread. Looks good, any cons or just all pros? If that 350z was closer I'd go and look but not having the money to buy it at the minute it's a long way for a look. Thanks guys

I've turbo'd and throttle bodied the 205, running 280bhp at 265ft/lb at a bar of boost. I'll take a look at the progress thread and the for sale add thanks guys. Stebbs
