93 Trans Am vs 350z

i was on my way home from school, and in traffic i saw a red 350z cutting everyone off. i caught up to him and got behind him at a light, i saw him adjust his rearview mirror so knew it was on. sure enough he guns it on green becasue there is a mile stretch ahead of us, anyway he takes off and i spin a little. he had about two cars off the line but i pulled on him hard, by 65 i blew past him like he was standing still. i slowed down to see if he wanted another but he wasnt having any of it. i let him drive past me and i saw it was a rich kid from one of the neighboring towns, he was with his girlfreind and she just gave me a little smile and a wink as i flew by them. i really expected him to stay with me since i did have my cutout closed. basically my exhaust negates the fact i have LT's because its an OEM LS1 catback w/ a 3" cutout before the axle. but anyway, i enjoyed putting that kid in his place because he always thinks his cars the ****, revving at every neon on campus. still waiting to line up with this guy who acts the same way with his '05 stang.

With that 98 mph trap speed, you'd more than have your hands full with a properly driven '05 GT. (Unless that 13.5 @ 98 was before the LTs).

Good kill.

Re: 93 Trans Am vs 350z

on that particular run i trapped 98mph but i usually trap 100+ in better weather, just that the weather down here kills any performance. BTW i just read that an '05 GT has ran a 13.5@102, but this guy has one around town and takes it to the track every now and then but he barely runs 13.9@100. most stock LS1's run just about the same, and LT1's run between 14.4-14.8@96. when i was stock i ran 14.7@93, then 14.3@96 with CAI and cut out, now with the stall and LT's ive managed to run 13.5@98 on slicks. et streets get me better times than when i run on street tires, but they really slow down my mph. i have gone 13.69@102 on street tires but i cant really take advantage of the stall because i just spin all the way through 2nd.

Re: 93 Trans Am vs 350z

Antz thanks for the thumbs up, but just to prove my point i went down to the track friday night and i went 13.3@101 w/ a 1.84 60ft. only thing changed was that i was running 17" Z06 rims up front instead of the old 245/50's.

Thumbs up Re: 93 Trans Am vs 350z

Nice kill on the 350Z I'm waiting to run my buddy with a stock 93 300Z It's definately a pretty car, all red, 100k miles, 5 speed, non-turbo, tinted windows, 2+2, leather, but I don't think I should have much of a problem with it. I'd like to run his dad's 2004 350Z, which apparently has 430 horses at the crank so he says. All I know is it has intake and exhaust and "a bunch of other stuff" to acheive this HP rating. I'm imagining with my mods and my 2.73s on brand new KDWS's, I should have my hands full and then some, but we'll see

You are going to absolutely destroy your buddy's 300ZX. Bet him a tank of gas on the race

Re: 93 Trans Am vs 350z

thanks guys on the kill, LT1wanabe if i were you i would get a cuout and really cream him. a few years ago i had a 94 t/a with the same mods as yours and i went 14.1@97 then i uncapped the cutout and went 13.8@100. really good gain over the flowmaster. this was done on bald BFG's, so you should really get out of the hole fast with the 2.73's and those new tires.
