Trans am vs 300zx Ok so my friends brothers friends has a 300zx we tried to get him to race but he wouldn't go and then we tell him what I have and he starts laughing says he won't run a Pontiac.

If he has a stock 300zx TT its a drivers race, stock and NA you win by a landslide. With mods done to the zxTT like a boost controller, bigger injectors and other bolt ons your gonna catch hell beating him.But what ever you do DONT ROLL RACE HIM if he has the tt version automatic L for you; do it from a dig so you have a slight advantage. The ZXTT is slow off the line but has crazy top end once it has built boost.

I had a 300zx TT with a boost controler bigger injectors, exhaust and headers and tune and it was a wicked car. So just make sure he doesn't have bigger turbo's to and if he has the TT engine swapped into a N/A body or 4 seater cant remember def watch out because they had better gearing for acceleration but if its and actual TT body then like said before don't roll race and if you do a dig you'll get him off the line and until he hits 3rd then he will start to pull but either way it should be a good race.

WRONG
One article???? LOL.
I owned all of them sans a Supra(have an earlier Supra).
My 1992 300ZX went a best of 13.66 at 103MPH at Cecil back in 1994. If you went mid 14s in one you were a terrible driver(Car and driver went 13.8s in a 90) My 1990 TT 3000GT(mine was a 300HP one-320HP ones were maybe a tenth faster but thats) went a best of 13.9 at 98MPH-weight killed it despite having same power(300HP). My 1995 RX7 twin turbo went 13.7 at 100MPH(255HP but light weight). A Supra could run mid to high 13s at about 103-105MPH(320HP). An LT1 Vette 6 speed was mid 13s at about 102-103 MPH. Most mags had the same results back then. 300ZX was fastest till Supra came out-EASILY. Modding one and working on one was a NIGHTMARE(motor had to come out for most heavy mods or repairs like timing belt). 550CC injectors were the biggest you could get for a ZX for a long time. Full exhaust could yeild almost 40RWHP(cats were very bad). Bottom end of a Z was pretty stout like a Supra
An LS1 would beat one stock to stock easy. With mods if you are unsure-race him from a dig

I want to pick one up when I have some extra cash. AWD 5 Speed... Hopefully black 
. Meth, more boost, exhaust, intake, and injectors, would probably hold its own. Not to mention, they are pretty attractive. Good luck with the race.

Which is why street races aren't really good tools to use when determining which cars can do what.
