Default 350z v. z28

I raced a 350z last night. We were side by side till bout 100 then he started pulling away. At the end he was almost a car lenght ahead of me at about 130. I wish I had the money to put some mods on the engine. But o well. It was fun.

I raced my friends 350z and about the same thing happened to me. Don't worry about it since his is at least a $30k car. With some bolt ons you could proboly take em.

Thats strange. If both cars are stock, I would thing it should be dead even the whole way. I owned a 1990 300ZX Twin Turbo before my LT1s and I must say, my 97 Z28 is DEFINATELY faster stock for stock.

That would have been my guess. Most stock 350z I see run in the low 14 range which isn't too bad, but nothing special.

hmmmm.... I figured a stock lt1 would take down a stock 350z... i guess it could come down to a drivers race though...

I raced a G35 when my vette was stock... and raped it. My Vette was slower than my Z28 stock for stock.

I sold my 04 350 last year...they really are not that fast, no torque. With some bolt ons they would stay with an LT1/LS1 if they were a good driver.

I had the regular bolt ons and a 100 shot of nitrous. I would beat a Z06/94 Viper till about 60-70 VERY easily with the bottle but after that the 350 would really die and the Vette/Viper would pull *****. I would probably beat them in the 1/8 mile but they would end up winning by 3-4 cars in the 1/4.

Without the bottle is was a joke.

My auto ran 14.1 @ 97mph 2.1 60ft stock.... most 350Zs are between 14.2 ~ 14.4 @ 99~101mph. We got ripped off with a shitty intake (air box) design and restrictive exhaust.

Nothing to worry about..just take care of those two problems and your outcome would have been different.
