i don't know about all that. However my rx7 has 247 at the wheels which a hair more at the wheels of a 350Z stock. I test drove a 350Z last year and it was nice had some pretty good torque however it was very heavy and you could tell. Now my 7 is anywhere from 600-1000lbs lighter so you can imagine the speed you get out of it.

lol, I'm like a walking weight reduction over here: 6'2" and 150 lbs.

And as for the comparison: I think the FB (SP 13B Holley light flywheel and Full exhaust) would compete with/beat a good deal of the cars today.
