Cool My '02 Z28 M6 vs my buddy's modded Nissan 300ZX TT (VIDEO)

A few weeks back I ran my buddy's modded 300ZX twin turbo. We made a few pulls and it was pretty close with me pulling hard in 4th mainly. The last run was the closest. I was just starting to pull again as we shut down.

His car put down about 295rwhp last summer on one of the hottest days of the year. Since then he did a few more things, mainly supporting mods like fuel system etc.

Good runs and once again I surprised the crap out of a few people with a bone stock LS1 lol (I raced him before I put lid/K&N and Pro 5.0 in).

Nice runs and great video!! That 300ZX seems to pull hard, much harder than the 300ZX TT that I raced a month ago and absolutely SLAUGHTERED! You should make another video now that you have the lid and see what the difference is and post it up .

Dunno why I pulled like that. Most of the turbo cars I have run I have pulled on in 4th (2 different SRT4's, Evo MR...).

Not sure on exact mods. I will try to find out.

Am I the only one that thought he couldnt shift. It is obvious he doesnt! Look how easily he pulls away, then backs off. Look at the multimedia section, there other people that said the same thing.

I dont think it matters. Homeboy got snapped off, and it's no one elses fault the 300zx guy brought a knife to a gun fight(driving skill) Winning isnt always based off of who has more power. So, quit being a ricer troll and add something informative for a change. If not, go find another forum to start **** in because frankly, I'm getting sick of your ****, excuses, crying, etc. I'll bet there are others who feel the same way too. You win some you lose some, thats the name of the game.

I was watching the LS1's tach thinking..."damn those cars are slow." It took
forever to make those pulls.

Nice kill.

both those cars have weak top end. that's why you pulled, the 300zx is at home on teh topend. nice kill though it was pretty evenly matched.

Our neighbor has a modded (stage 3, I think) 300ZX TT. We've raced him in both of our Stealth TTs. His brakes spark too.........well, we were hitting the brakes at 140......... From 10-115 he has a car and a half on our '95 TT.

I know that SRT-4's die in 4th gear. Im not sure about some of the other cars you raced, but SRT-4's do not like 4th.
