bronzee Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 That's a nice amount of hp to be pushing, especially at the shoes. Are you going to race the thing, or is just going to be a very quick street machine? Much more power than that on the street, would be a bit of an animal to drive. I know you guys only think in hp, but over here we also think in kilowatts, so you could say you have a 700rwkw + Z. Nice!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jables Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Very nice . There seem to be quite a few people popping up with 400hp Z's at the moment, not that I'm complaining! It's the power the Z should have had from the factory. I don't think I could go back to a standard one now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Mcgoo Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Very good numbers! Well done Mark and Abbey again. As jables said, definitely how they should have come in the first place. Such a dream to drive at circa 400hp, fast, smooth but still very predicable and easily controlled. It'll be 'our' 2 year anniversary this month and I still grin from ear to ear when I put my foot down! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizard Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Fantastic!!! Sam, mine and now Andy's making very similar numbers. My 2 year anniversary was in August!! Still a great car!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4RE Leather Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Now that's some nice mods/power! How does the GTM sound? Hi Mate. Look up gtm hr supercharger kit on web and look at the links. There are a couple of cool videos,one with a car during dyno runs and one with some mad dude racing round an industrial estate in a nismo car at over a ton!!! I put those videos on here when my GTM was being installed. The post is still on here under GTM Supercharger install. So how many of us have this fitted now? Andy kev-T Myself/ Ollie in Ashford is almost there. I thought there was 1 other! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnH Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 So how many of us have this fitted now? Andy kev-T Myself/ Ollie in Ashford is almost there. I thought there was 1 other!

4RE Leather Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Well you must know that I have a short term memory problem hence the constant memory jolt. I did see the progress of your build but not putting a face to the car, deemed it a tad rude if I posted what I had seen. Abbey certainly have this GTM down to a fine art now:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnH Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I did see the progress of your build but not putting a face to the car, deemed it a tad rude if I posted what I had seen. It's the black roadster that's been at the Parrot the last few times and I'm the bloke with the ginger goatee if that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will blow ya ginger locks off if you drive that with the roof down:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deank93 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 According to Evo magazine the HR has been timed and hits 60 in 5.5 and 100 in 13 dead, anyone got any thoughts on what sort of times the few that have had the GTM supercharger conversion done could do it in? I'm assuming that traction would be an issue to make much difference for the 60 time but I wonder what the improvement to 100 would be? I know the zed isn't really that sort of car but i'm interested none the less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
