Default Camaro Vs 350z

So tonight i was leaving a buddys party and my friend was behind me in his 06 350z also an auto with under 50k miles on it. he pulls up next to me we are both rolling at about 25mph and asked if i wanted to run them real quick i laughed and said hell yeah, i hear him stomp it so i do the same and next thing i know im going 80 and he is at least 3 car lengths behind me. i remember when i wanted a 350.... and to think i was a lil nervous about the race because i know we have similar horsepower but i have at least 40 more torques but his car is at least 200lbs lighter than my car so it surprised me

350z auto.... that alone makes this an easy win. the 370 autos are a bit better, either way i never understood why people would get a sporty car and get it as an auto.

Nice kill OP. BTW all the ls1 fbodies were right around 350hp regardless of what they listed the hp as, so no he was out of his league there also.

Go race against a stalled auto and you will find out the hard way why auto's are better.

Never been impressed with the performance of the 350z but they are pretty sweet cars. They sound like dust busters/leaf blowers though.

Just sucks they are on the performance par of a 2v GT.

haha yeah you're right. The stall does hurt me from a higher roll no doubt. Proved that once again against a C6Z06 sunday...

That's kinda like the 370 nismo that I raced. She floored it and got two lengths ahead while I was in sixth at 62mph. I just downshift to 5th and came around her at 110. She tried claiming she wasn't racing but when I mentioned she was going over 100, she shut up with her excuses. Retard.

350Z's should definitely be a cake walk. My first race in my Camaro was against an orange '03 base model with the 6spd. Many many cars and the further we went the worse it got! But heck, he ever so slightly walked away from my old GT when I had it (both the GT and Camaro were/are automatics).

A 370 NISMO on the other hand... They should at least put up a fight.

more than a bit i ran 13.2@107 stock in my 09 370z auto. more than enough to walk plenty of stock LS1's . 350z look really nice but just didnt make enough power down low nor enough TQ. that plus full boltons ans they still couldnt crack 12's. took nitrous or FI. main reason i sold my 370z. basically mid 12's around 114mph is the peak a full bolton 370z can hit. and its frigging expensive to buy aftermarket parts for them too! and a base model 370z will out run a nismo model. fyi the extra weight of the nismo counters the few hp you actually Truthfully on a dyno gain from the exhaust upgrade.

A 350z HR or 370z should be a pretty good race for a stock ls1 car. We would have been a good race it sounds like.

Kid in my town picked up a Nismo 370z. He's been claiming it makes 350 to the wheels (it's stock) so when I run him we'll see how true that is.
