Well now you have unleashed the meanest, baddest, fastest beast in your herd.... and it will put a smile on your face once you get it on the road. 

Most notably, after you drive a z for a few hours then pop into another car, you immediately miss the torque.

 

Congratulations!!!

I hope so. Not sure how the straight line speed and torque will go against the V8 in my S5 but I will be stoked if it comes close. I don't generally buy slow cars, the Beetle being an exception. Even my thrashed out old Merc SUV is a 5L V8 and not slow).

Well the numbers show you are correct Jeff!!!!  The Audi will provide more "feet".?

But you will be lower in the Z, not as comfortable nor quiet as the Audi (the exhaust and triples will roar), and you will also "smell how fast you are going" ?  So it will seem much quicker and primal.

That is what I am looking for. The Audi is a comfortable GT car, but new cars have no soul. Old cars are so much more involving. I am actually pretty impressed with those numbers. It would be a good test to drag race the Audi and the 680 to see. Are those 280Z figures from the standard car? If that is the case, it would probably sway in favour of the Z, as my car should be lighter and more powerful than a stock 280z.

The 2500lbs is for a typical 280Z with some of the weight removed.  The 196ft-lbs is for a tuned L28 with a cam and triples. No over-bore. I think yours will go a bit quicker too!

 

You and the mrs. in a drag race would be a great final project video ?
