Last night coming home a 350z vert comes up beside me just as we are slowing down for a red light. I am doing about 10 or 15mph when the light turns green. So I gently start to accelerate when the 350Z throws a rev at me. So I am thinking, okay you are probably going to kill me, but I am game. I floor it, he floors it and we are dead even up to about 60 - 65mph when we both let off. I was shocked to say the least and I think he was too.
So to Chris at TU - the fast spool option even on the stock T1 turbo is awesome. I was amazed at how fast the turbo responded because since I was going so slow, the rpms were definitely on the low end of the sweet spot. It reached a good 7psi or so well before 3000 rpm and I think that is what held the 350Z at bay.
So I would not call it a win or a loss, just a very nice surprise.
BTW, the Laser is a stock non-intercooled 86 T1. The only upgrades it has is a K&N drop-in, and a full 2.5" exhaust with 2.5" SW and DP.
