Hey don't knock the Silverstone... it owns. By the way, unless anyone here knows what they're talking about, they'll know that Ferrari's are pieces of garbage. The only nice feature is they are handmade, they use some of the same parts as Volkswagons and the clutch takes about 5 years to get used to. Not to mention they spray that ridiculous foam stuff on them that wastes away within a year. Every single Ferrari I've ever dealt with was the worst. I'd rather drive a 1991 Chevy Corsica. People just don't understand Ferrari is expensive because of the way it was made. They're not that fast. A few of them are, but most aren't. You show me a Ferrari that was well worth the sticker price and I'll show you a Lamborghini with a Ferrari symbol on the hood. I'll take a Z with some minor modifications such as C.A.I. over a Ferrari 355 convertible any day of the week. "Hold it's own?" He was lucky the Ferrari didn't stall at the traffic light. You want to spend that kind of cash? Buy a damn Lamborghini and save some face.

That's just delusional. Then saying Ferrari's are crap is just plain stupid.

No, just people who live in reality. It's clear the Ferrari wasn't racing at its full potential. So I don't know why you came with "Well the Z held its own".

i by no means am a ferrari expert but i don't believe that the 355 is the top of the ferrari chain either... i'd definately like to see someone post some stats side by side... my hypothesis is that the 355 probably isn;t going to be too much faster than the 350 anyway...

maybe the 355 was infact trying hard (from the way you described the sound) and just didn't want to tell the truth that his $100,000+ car isn't too much faster than one under $40,000...

Guys don't get me wrong i love Ferraris and i have all my life... in fact i gotta poster of an F50 right behind me... (probably the closest i'd get to one at this time)... but anyways...

If the 355 really wasn't trying... i'd 3rd the anti- "held it's own comment"

Stock 1/4 mile of 12.8 (fastest time I found for the Ferrari 355) is much faster than a 13.7 time of a 350Z. Even 13.0 is.

A:



Notice that I did not say or post anything to VenAged100PpostmenopausalTroll before he posted the above. Notice. Did not address him in any way or comment on him or his posts in any way. Here he goes again trolling, unprovoked. As usual. His same old stupid posts devoid of content about 350Zs.

This is a 350Z forum. There are also no restrictions on us 350Z owners who like forced induction on 350Zs from posting here. Though I have often been asked questions on forced induction before I did post, nobody has to invite me or anyone else to give opinions on 350Zs and forced induction before we post on the same. Yet he trots out his F words and shows what an ignorant low class idiot he is. He posts the same old stupid boring picture with F words. Lame. If ignorance were bricks, this troll’d be the great wall of China. And some more besides. But, he doesn't bother me, cause I can see from his posts that he knows nothing about cars and has never done anything with cars as well. Probably doesn’t even own a 350Z. I don’t really have any respect for him so I could care less about he thinks. Just an ignorant troll with zero content to his posts. I don't care what he thinks and notice that nobody EVER asks him to post. Last comment I remember someone wrote to his posts was "turd>Ven100" Right on and well said! He is a complete waste of carbon.

By the way, my post was not about APS kits. It was about APS kits on 350Zs and the 350Z performance thereof. His post had no mention or even remote reference to 350Zs. How about a nice cup of develop some brains instead of posting like a jerkoff of all trades?

F355 is the nicest ferrari ever built. (red convertible), why worry if it's not the fastest car ever.
Yes, I could imagine a car like Elise (2005), or 911 (2005) probably scores faster lap time than old F355 on a track. Not sure about 350z, although I have seen on the magazine that 350z (track 2003) scores better time than 911, M3 SMG 2003 (only corvertte was faster).
But for 0 - 60 and above, the F355 is faster than z350. (side by side comparation).

Oh Puhlease. No one in this thread was talking about any forced induction, much less an APS kit. But you then decided to take your salesman pitch and throw it in. The only one you're fooling is yourself. Save your drivel and babble for those who care.


Hmm, let's compare a stock Ferrari 355 to a 350Z with "a few mods". Oh wait, even better idea; let's compare a stock 355 to a 350Z with an APS system. Heck, why not just compare a 355 to a JGTC500 350Z.

Please, I (not to mention some others) have already called you out on your "Pro-advocate" APS speeches. If you've forgotten already then maybe it's you who needs to do the searching.

You say you gave your "opinion"? Your post was filled with facts like "afterwards my 350Z with have 4XXrwhp" and "my buddy beat a Porsche 996 with a APS powered 350Z". The only thing remotely close to an "opinion" in your post was you talking about "thrill to go pass rich boys" and "your heart breaking" bullsh*t. As I said before, you are fooling no one.

You can pi$$ and moan and whine and spit up your pablum like a baby all you want, but I will post about 350Zs with forced induction and APS kits all I want to. You don't even post about 350Zs and you don't even own one. Since you own and drive a Crown Victoria, special land yacht edition, for old fossils like you, you got no business on a 350Z website. But whine and show your pms all you want, I don't give a @##@! what you think. And the people that would like to see you leave this forum are legion.

350Zs with APS forced induction rule!

If you had any sense you'd know that since I am not offering to sell anyone an APS kit, there is no way I could get compensation even if everyone on this forum bought one. But just for the record, I will make it clear: If any of you do buy an APS kit, do NOT under any circumstances give any dealer ANY feedback that I influenced you to buy it. Do not mention my name in any way. And I don't even offer an email address or a phone # so that anyone could possibly call or contact me. You don't think I'm a salesman anyway. You just tell that lie so you can be a "pot banging" infant and draw attention to yourself. And you really think you impress people because you throw F words around like a drunk uses a light post. For support rather than illumination.

Drivel.........

You say you'll talk about 350Z with APS kits all you want.. I'm surprised you have butchered up a "tire feathering" thread with talk of an APS kit.

Funny how you keep saying you don't care what I think but you still reply with your long-winded posts..

This coming from a guy whose posts have been loaded with drivel and ignorance.

Interesting how I haven't used the F word in any my posts in this thread thus far (unless you count the jpeg), yet you're the one coming out with the drivel. Come on now, let's at least try to think straight here.

ven100. shut up you always try to make people feel dumm with your uptight words... why dont you take you 350z for a ride and come back to the forum with a positive attitude and let others that are a lot younger than you learned the history of the Z...



thanks ven100 for your cooperation/.///////

If you do not see the "f" word in large oversized letters in the same old boring picture you always post, then you are as blind as you are ignorant. But every time you keep bringing up how I post about the incredible, breathtaking, sigh... performance and reliability of 350Zs with APS forced induction kits... it just keeps it all going and I am only too happy to continue to discuss the incredible power and reliability that I sooooo admire from APS Turbo 350Zs! Amazing! he he.

And all that I posted is sooo relevant to this thread and that is what is simply wonderful and amazing. Pretty soon all on here will be saying, "My, my! Is there no END to this young man's talents... whose name is More Power!!!! Our Hero and Dauntless Defender of Quality... and Reliable Boost! The original post is from someone discussing that he has just done a modification to his 350Z, namely a plenum spacer, and he is proud of how he did in a run in with a yellow 355 convertible. But he is also very aware that his 350Z is still no match for said adversary. Drat... whatever shall he do?!? He is at a More Power deficit and obviously needs help, pronto! But wait!! All is not lost… As I, the Hero and all around Good Guy, am just so totally in tune with his original post by pointing out that with the right additional modifications to the one he discussed, namely an APS Single Turbo or APS Twin Turbo, he and his 350Z (rhymes, ha) could have gone past the 355 so fast it would have blown the 355 into the tall grass along side the road! Hurrah, hurrah! And did I mention that if he had the forced induction specified, he would be capable of performance the 355 can only dream about?!? The lust lust part of our story. And thanks to you, the villain of our story, I am only too happy to continue to post on the thread subject and pinpoint the solution to his dilemma. As has been my manner.

Virtually none of your posts, as the villain of our story...boooo....hisss... have been about 350Zs, the race, or the modification he, the thread starter, discussed and the subect in question. You are the evil Ven100year old Grinch that desires to steal APS forced induction from our 350Z postings and from our 350Z website. You would rob the citizens of Z ville the right to even discuss such beautiful and splendid things and ideas. Bah, humbug!!. Almost like stealing Christmas, you dastardly fiend! But, I am only too glad to bring this thread back on subject and bail your sorry a$$ out as usual and save the day!. “You’re a foul one, Mr. VenGrinch!”

Oh by the way, I never compared a stock 355 to a forced induction APS modified 350Z. (And we do not even know that the 355 in the story was stock, either.) I merely pointed out that one can get mucho satisfaction from blowing a 355's doors in as you go by out in the real world with an APS turbo 350Z. I am not into comparisons, I am into kickin' a$$ and takin' names out in the real world. You know, reality...that place you never venture or even visit, VenGrinch.

Unlike VenGrinch, who is too testicularly challenged for such things, I race. You line up and you wax the other guy/gal or he/she waxes you. Virtually no one is totally pure stock and when you whine about getting your clock cleaned cause "someone was modified" as VenGrinch whines about incessantly...half of the people you whine to don't care and the other half think you deserve the a$$ kickin’ you got. Take your pick. But, bottom line, one person is whining, pouting and comparing... and the other person is wearing a big old grin. There is no crying in racing...just like in baseball. That's why you, VenGrinch, whine and make capricious comparisons and it never occurred to you the original subject of this thread was real racing of a (perhaps modified) 355 by a MODIFIED 350Z, not comparisons, VenGrinch. "You're a whiny one, Mrrrrr. VenGrrrrriinch!"

*********************************************************

I did not say I was not pro APS. I said I challenged you, since you accuse me of being an APS salesman, to find any post in which I offered to SELL anyone on this website any kit. APS or otherwise. BIG difference. And I challeged you to find even one post where I asked people to contact or email me or anything related to selling APS products. Or anything of the sort such as asking people to mention my name when they buy a product. I challenged you and you came up with nothing and you still can't back up your claims. Not even one bit of evidence. You are merely a false witness. 'Bout par for your course. Many many people on here are pro one product or another from aftermarket exhausts to stain remover to remove old fossilized, smelly stains, like you VenGrinch, from their carpets. And they post about which products they like and recommend to others. That does not mean that I or they are selling things on this website simply because we are advocating the products. And it does not mean anyone is a salesmen outside this website for those products we recommend. You know that too and that's why you come up with BS like this because you can't back up what you say. You charged me with selling things on this website and being a salesman for APS products and I told you you were and are full of !@!##!! and challenged you to back it up. As usual, you came up with a grand total of nothing. You pro advocate big a$$ed ugly land yacht cars which ARE suitable for old fossils like yourself. If that means that you sell them on this website or are trying to sell them, then kick yourself off the website and do everyone a favor. Oh, by the way, just for you since you love to hear it sooooo much, APS turbo kits enable our 350Zs rule over 355 convertibles and all of your land yachts as well!

How did YOU know that APS turbo kits cure AND prevent tire feathering?!? You must be an APS salesman!!!! And YOU must think that I am trying to horn into YOUR sales on THIS website! Oh, it becomes all sooooo clear now!! Glad I could clear all this up for everybody...

If you had an ounce of sense, you'd see that I was using the term "salesman" in more of a metaphorical sense. Hence why I used words/phrases like "salesman-pitch" or "pro-advocate". I probably could've included the term "fanboy" in there somewhere as well. If I was saying he was selling to make profit I would've said something along the lines of "You're only looking to make money".

So now I pass the stfu cup back to you.

Ooohhh VenGrinch, you'd gripe if they hung you with a brand new rope. You ornery old coot. You'd cry big old fat elephant sized tears and slash both your wrists if I were to ever leave this website. Bah humbugging that new fangled APS forced induction for our 350Zs (and you don't even own a 350Z) with the fastest spooling turbos on this planet is the biggest thrill in your life. Tarnation! I may be an APS whore, but I bet you trace your blood lines from Ebenezer Scrooge and the Grinch that stole Christmas. On the other side for you was that ugly old witch in the Wizard of Oz.

You and I are both scoundrels to be sure, but people can make up their own minds regarding the best, coolest approach to 350Z performance. It's just that you and your beloved ugly big a$$ed sedans/land yachts are a concept ill conceived and best forgotten from a 350Z perspective IMO. You sound like a real attractive guy. You sound like you belong on the Crown Victoria fan website with the medicare crowd.

Why don't we change the title of this thread to "Drove Near a 355 Ferrari Cabrio"? That way:

1. It would be an accurate title.
2. People would lose interest at the git-go and we could skip all of the post-whoring that has ensued.

Just a thought.

yes, the APS twin turbo kit does all that for our 350Zs...and some more besides! And don't forget...it's all for our CHILDREN!!! How can we not do this when it's for our precious children?!? What clod would stand in our way...I know one, oh yes, I know one...
