Yes, 300hp on paper. I owned a Z NA 2+2 that I converted to a TT, maybe ~600hp. The RX7, 300ZX, Supra generation were all fun and great competition, but that was probably also the order in terms of reliability. The rotary engine is super tunable, but very finicky. The Z was a V6, and much less stable than the Supra’s in-line 6. That’s usually why all the monster builds were Supras. You could get a Z there with a lot of cash and free time, but it would require a fairly decent amount of upkeep and tuning to make sure you didn’t blow up your engine every time you tried to race. Supras might appear just as unstable, but those were usually 1000+hp builds having issues versus 600-700hp Z builds. A 600hp Supra would probably be more resilient due to the engine.

- Grazester 3y agoThe block of the 300ZX is pretty strong. The cylinder bore spacing is about the largest I have seen. The issue is the bottom end is a bit weak and to reliably take it to the 1000hp range it needs a crank girdle it seems. The 2JZ is however a better engine. It seems like today the VG30DETT is finally getting some attention. I seem some shop doing some fancy big HP builds with them
