Stock 2016 GT vs 290whp BRZ

[Shadow277]

How many people have actually ran into this match up for the quarter mile? I would imagine they would keep up, if not win due to being a lot lighter.

The brz if it really has the stated 290 whp should win. The power to weight ratio sure would favor the brz.

A boosted BRZ is not something your going to likely run into often. I used to own a SRT-4 that put down close to 400whp. It could run with the big boys no problem. But a BRZ is weak even when compared to the old SRT-4s. Im going out on a limb and saying it’s going to take a lot of boost. To make a 15 second car (BRZ) run with a high 11-low 12 second 18 up mustang.

Are you speaking from practicality or theoriticals? I have seen some videos of them revving out to 8k and getting to 60 in 5.9 seconds. 0-60 from a dig is where light vehicles shine.

I thought the headers and tune normalized the torque dip? Saw it on Daily Driver. Also, can we please just wait and see what Nissan throws in the 400z? I'm telling you, it's gonna be 400hp crank and retire the Coyote Engine.

My buddy has a BRZ making 290whp and he wants to overhaul the engine next. I know he'll do it. I think he'll reach the 400whp mark he wants but I am unsure if the chassis can put down the power well.

Truth be told, I need track time. Having a 6 speed absolutely means I need practice. Maybe those Contenintels or BFG tires I want would come in handy... Stock 2019 premium wheels if you must know.

I’ll take that bet.

The 400z would walk an Ecoboost.

Ok...I'll bite. 400 horsepower. Two hundred and...fifteen foot pounds

Pretty damn safe bet. Give him a fighting chance and use an ecoboost

But, the Ecoboost has endless TORQUE!!!

290 HP sure, but probably around 200 ft-lbs of torque. Plus, you can't mod out the torque dip, no matter how hard you try. It has about as much chance in a drag as a 400Z

An engine swap should take care of the torque dip

Always thought this video of a prius beating a brz was great

The 86 needs to be launched at 6k. Not 2k.

 

[bluebeastsrt]

The quickest way to launch a BRZ.......Is off a cliff. At least it would see 120 once.

The Supra 3.0 is "382" crank horsepower and can run in the 10's with bolt ons, but I don't notice my Coyote being retired yet? Nobody is going to care about the 400Z, just like nobody cared about the 370Z after like 2 model years.

Especially if its 10-15k more than the 370z
