Angry 350z race

Im alittle pissed off...i somehow managed to lose to a 350z from a roll he did however get a very big jump on me...is that enough to make a diffrence? i was going about 45 when i saw him start to fly up around me..as soon has he got close to me i hit it....was a very short race and he thought he was cool with this big grin on his face. Then we caught a light and he turned off....wanted to go from a dig real bad basicly had to play catch up

Re: 350z race

I think the newest ones have 300hp... I think you could beat him in a longer race though.

Re: 350z race

I've race about 4 350z's. Outcome was the same every time. I think it's even worse for them from a roll. From what I've noticed.

The longer the race lasted the more cars I'd put on them. You would think with 300hp they would stick with a LT1 but it's not the case. They do run low 14's at the track. I do have headers so that's probably making the difference. The SRT-4's give me a better run. Over all I still think the LT1 will win. Funny now days a 6 cylinder is giving us a run for our money.

Dont feel to bad, 45 is also a pretty weak spot for autos(with a stock converter), and since he had a jump on you, let him think he won, and next time he sees you, blow his doors off.

Re: 350z race

that sucks man.. too bad you didnt have a chance to redeem yourself with a more "fair" start.

If someone has a major jump on me, Id rather let them go rather than give them the bs victory and have them make a right turn immediately afterward and deny me a 2nd chance.

Re: 350z race

Heh I "lost" to a 350z the other day. I got next to him(45mph in OD) and he got on it, was about a car on me before I took off, My car is a stock LS1 and I had the tops +windows off/down. Anyways he put his hazards on right as I was flying up on him maybe 4-5 seconds later so I wouldnt be able to smoke him. I have an auto so it takes a second to get going from a roll. Anyways we catch a light and he talks a bunch of **** about how he beat my v8 camaro. Well I said "lets go from a dig" I put probably 3 or 4 cars on him by 60. Gave him the thumbs up as he did his ricer flyby but he wouldnt look at me! OWNED

Re: 350z race

Dont be pissed off because you lost to a 350z in a slow mostly stock 11 year old z28.

It happens. A great driver gets the same times out of a stock Z as he would a stock Z28.

Re: 350z race

That's too bad.. for some reason for the last couple of times I've been in a racing "altercation" they've all be 350's. All were slow as ***** and the only trouble that happened was the driver swallowing his pride after the races were over. None of them recognized. Way to take it personally...

Re: 350z race

I've had my run ins with 350Zs and G35s. I put the smack down on them and don't leave much question on who has the faster car. The last 350Z had dealer plates, so that one was extra nice because I just ruined a salesman's day. LOL

Re: 350z race

I beat one bad the other day with my GN. He looked over at me like i was in some POS grandpa car (little did he know) He thought he had me untill he heard the sound of 17lbs of boost building up and me flying by him smokin my tires. I love driving a sleeper.
