Default What would win over 1 mile?

As per the title gents, what do you think would win over a 1 mile drag race?

Nissan 350z (standard)
Nissan 370z (standard)
Impreza Hawkeye STi with various mods (approx 330 BHP)

Anyone ever gone head-to-head with either Nissan?

The usual conversation came up after 1 too many beers. I sat there quietly confident being the Scooby owner and let the Nissan boys argue it out. (Despite the fact the 370z is considerably more powerful than the 350z)

Be interested to know your thoughts.....

I don't know about the 370 but I had a play in a 350z a few years ago and found it utterly w*nk!!! Slow and boring! So I'd like to say the Hawk, but as said I've not driven the 370. Plus I might be slightly biased haha

best way to find out is find a road and fight, fight, fight.

prob be pretty close, sti will have it off the line if launched hard, then comes down to areodynamics and the scoob isn't as good, plus awd will be a draw back once rolling.

370 will easily take it

STi will start good but gets slower at high speeds. Displacement lets the 370z win at the end.

That was my thought. STi wins to 60, 370z wins at the mile post

I had a play with a 370z in my WRX (287 BHP) It really did pull away a good bit as the speed increased.

My mate has a 370z. He can't keep up through the gears but never had a chance on a decent stretch to see

Spec. says 330 bhp and similar weight, so a 350 bhp STI night make it.... and many are running nearer 400 bhp.
