I love the GN's. Some dealer in Fredericksburg sells them.

 

Wow, that's where LS1s are in their element. You should have really blown by him if you meant business.

 

His sig says he traps 100. I don't think he'll be blowing too many doors off but he might send a gentle breeze thier way

Good death. The fact that he wouldn't go from a dig tells me he knew he would lose. He might have won the battle but he is far from winning the war

 

Yeah dude thats the guy i bought it from...He has another one there but he painted it white...it looks real good but the only color i want a GN in is black on black. Its a place called Fredericksburg Auto sales on RT 1. Hope to see you around man.

 

I wouldn't be too disappointed....you're only trapping 100 mph, which is about the same as the 285 hp model Z. What did you expect?

 

350z's seem to be mediocre in every way when compared to other RWD sports cars. Quick, but not too quick, good acceleration, but not too good, not that much top end.

It's the N/A less than 8 cylinder theorem. Without some kind of FI all < 8 cylinder engines fall on their face.

 

Maybe what we all expect when we get into a race... To win?

 

Usually that's the case. But once and awhile when I'm at TNT I'll see something like a Cobra, Vette or old school muscle car that has a roll bar, tires bigger then my kids and louder then my wife (ok maybe not quite that loud ). I have to be realistic here and expect to lose

Can't win em all. Personally I think it would get boring after awhile if you did. Plus a loss is the best motivation I know of to mod some more

 

I can understand that, but going to a track and being lined up w/ a significantly faster car is quite a bit different than street racing or roll racing something much closer in performance.

 

I remember the first year I had my LS1. I kept saying, "this ones fast enough. No need to mod it." Kept going to the midnight races at the track. Kept picking on hondas and winning. duh. Finally lined up against a 300z. Got my *** absolutely handed to me. Mods started the next morning. I don't think I'd be even close to 10s without that *** kicking. Probably still stock.

 

I have taken many a 350z and my fav was this guy who I passed and thought "maybe he wants to run" well as soon as I thought that he was trying to ricer flyby me and I put it in 2nd and nailed him, he was already flooring it and I snarled to life just in time. Old guys aren't very happy when you beat their new $30k toy in an old T/A lol

 

Whats the big deal about beating a v6 with your v8s? Its like saying your corvette beat a cobalt.

 

i did 2 runs with the same 350Z once. First time he took off before me, i caught him, and put a car on him from 65 to 120. The next time we started off even from a 70 roll and i put 2 cars on him by 120. I thought myself they should have some more *****. It had atleast intake and exhaust. Kid was pissed off cause he had his Girlfriend in the car and tried to impress her. She ended up smiling at me tho when she realized her bf's car wasnt all that fast afterall

 

No, My car is a V6 agaist a V6. Besides the big deal is that the 350Z guys always seem to think that they are way faster than som3 10 year old Camaro or T/A. He really thought he was going to smoke my 20 Year old Buick!!!

 

I followed one on the highway one night. Had flaired rear fenders, wider rear tires. I was thinking that maybe this was a supercharged or turbo and good for some competition. Came around him and dropped it into third thinking that he was going to line up. Bastard just tried to do a fly by but I wasn't having any of that. My car is real strong in third at 4500 rpm and I left him bad. He took the next exit.
