SLK 280 Auto VS 350Z auto

anyone raced 350z Auto before?

FPF422 · 11-22-2006

nope, but no doubt, it will bury the 280...

N4PWJ · 11-23-2006

yes, a manual one.
and FPF is correct.... dusted me. They are not much quicker from 60-100 but to 60 just leaves you.

disgustingly so, it's my mates girlfriend who drives it, but she is a karting champion so i didn't feel as bad

i have an '06 slk 350, and got smoked by a 350 z with headers and intake, but while i had the top open , i closed it and we ran again, this time i smoked him. Smoked every one else(corvettes, cobbalt, civics, and all those type of cars that ppl modd.)
So far reallyyy proud with my car !!

350Zs are good cars although after driving one I can tell that its heart is not of a sports car but that of a typical nissan. I had the privalege to drive my buddies 350Z. It was pretty much stock besides the CAI and full exhaust system. The car sounds amazing and is good in a straight line but is very unpredictable through the curvy roads. I loved it but Id take my slk anyday.

Baron7700 · 03-23-2007

350 cant beat any vet made after 97. Otherwise the driver was just letting you have it.

280 cant get past a 350z. Put a 350slk can get past a 350z.

**alroumi** · 03-23-2007

I think the 350 can kill a stock Auto Corvette C5.

Baron7700 · 03-23-2007

......it c5's had what 307 bhp and they are lighter or same weight? Think it might come down to drivers, but i wouldnt say its a killin, but i think the vette would take it in the end.

Probably at the top end, due to its V8 engine.

**FishtailnZ** · 03-23-2007

C5's have 350 hp and TONS more torque than a 350Z, are lighter and have a better drag coefficent - stock to stock a C5 will walk all over the Nissan. C5's in the hands of a competent driver will run low low 13's (some have even dipped into the 12's) in the 1/4 and top out at 175mph - a Z isn't close in either category.

slktyperice · 03-23-2007

I don't know what you're all thinking, but my SLK pride aside, given the same driving (or dragging) skill, >97 Corvettes will beat the SLK350 auto/manual pretty consistently. Bad launches aside, there's just no way our 350's can hang. Green filters, a chip, and less weight would help us, but we're just starving for power. The 1st gear ratio doesn't help us tremendously either.

OuPhiDelt · 03-29-2007

Coming from someone with a 350Z (SLK has been ordered...

) A C5 vette is a fun run till about 40, when they just take off. As for SLK issues, the 280 doesn't even hold a candle to my Z in a straight line, and it only catches up a bit in the twisties. That being said, Ive gone head to head with a SLK 350 several times, and its been different each time...so Im thinking the driving had something to do with it. BTW my Z is a 2005 Roadster with a CAI and Auto.

exactly my point.

And like I said, i 350z vs a 350SLK, will mostly be driver.

welcome to the forum OuPhiDelt. start a new thread introducing yourself in general chat. What Slk you getting?

As said already, i own a 280 and my friend has a 350Z and it just walks away from me in a straight line, but a 350Slk would be close. I do however much much an slk over a 350Z, just can't warm to their styling.

Wallance · 03-30-2007

so supposingly a slk 350 will beat the 350z?
what about the is350? has anyone tried slk350 vs is 350?

Once I met a Z350 on the Autobahn. There was a little gap to mine and after some seconds he was gone.

In my mirror... :O)

haha.. there were a few on the track, the other day, I didn't get to run against it on the straights, wanted to, there was a white one that wanted to run against me on the public road in middle of traffic, I didn't play. There was nothing to prove except to see who's crazier there isn't room for a drag.

slktyperice · 04-03-2007

Basically, SLK350 (MT or AT), 350Z stock, G35, IS350, 335i are all within .2 of each other on the 0-60. Most are rated at 5.3, but real world with real drivers is more like 5.5. This means it's all driver and reaction time.
