Default Run in with a 350z

I was in boston last night and pulled next to a 350z at about 2:30 am. I look over and this asian kid and his girl are staring at me like they wanna run and he starts revving. ive never ran with a 350z before so i had no idea what to expect....light turns green and he takes off hard and so did i, launching at like 2500 rpms. Needless to say I absolutely smoked him...i thought those things were supposed to be quick. thats my second kill so far in my newly acquired ls1. man i am absolutely falling in love with this car.

There not impressive LS1's will spank them bad as shown in your race you should have pulled up next to him and asked the girl if she wanted a ride in a real car

Seriously? Dude, those 350z are not that fast. A stock turbo neon is capable of at least 13'z, well the 04'z..... personally, i would pick a turbo neon anyday over a 350z....

well, i would get rid of the wing and drop in a lip, single exhaust and get rid of all the emblems...hehehhhehe!!!!!

im not a fwd fan at all, dynamics are all off, but the 350z is for your tipical trend followers, well, he new ones for that matter. IMO, of-course....the dealership is feeding these future buyers crap about how fast they are...

Mid to high 14's? Not really...

Maybe the base model that doesn't come with LSD. Other than that, a driver who can pull a low 13 out of an LS1 will pull a low 14 out of a 350Z.

Other than that, good kill

A stock Z is no match for an LS1. They would be a good race with an LT1 with the LT1 pulling at higher speeds.

for a fact,the 350z's ain't that slow...i own one..keep in mind,it's a V6...so,yeah a lt1-ls1 should beat it..but a 350z.with a Nismo cold air intake,will run 13.7@105...the problem is,most people drivin the Z's,cant drive... but still,my '93 Formula,will beat the crap outta myZ..
