Supercharged 350Z vs 500rwhp LS1 SS Revenge........ sweet revenge....
Long story short, about 10 months ago I ran a very sweet looking Supercharged Z in my Stage 2 SRT. I won one, lost one, he put hazards on me and wasn't very friendly. If you'd like to read the story, here is the original post...
http://my350z.com/forum/showthread.php?t=108228
Switch to today. Driving up one of the local streets, I see a nice looking black Z speeding up behind me trying to catch me. As the Z gets closer, I see an intercooler. The Z passes me, revs, and I recognize the car as the same Z that I ran in the SRT. I think "SWEET!!!... this guy is in for a treat today...."
I hit the N2O arm switch and open the exhaust. Up ahead is a red light, and I swing over to the open lane. 3 lane highway, and traffic is clear.......prefect. I look over, and confirm it's the same car/guy. I throw a little rev, but I get no look over. He still is not very friendly. Light goes green, and we are head up for about 1/2 a second. Then the 100 shot kicks in, slight spin on the Nitto DR, and my car leaps forward a car through 1st. Bang 2nd, just a little spin, and I continue walking away at a very good pace, putting a couple more cars on him. Bang 3rd, and see he is falling back farther. Going through 3rd, it appears he has given up, so I slow down (I thought about returning the favor, and throwing on the hazards, but I don't..... I hate hazards).
I slow down to wait for him, to give a thumbs up, but he just passes me...
. After he is about two cars ahead, he slows to my speed and gooses the gas a little. It appears he want to go from a roll? I drop her in 2nd (50 mph) and start to inch up (so we could start next to each other), but he won't let me. He keeps speeding up a little, maintaining his 2 car jump.
At this point, I figure he wants the two car lead, and wants me to go first, so I throw him the high beams, and mash on the gas. I instantly start yanking on him. Hit the rev limiter at the top of 2nd, and bang 3rd. By the time I'm done with 3rd, I'm coming around him pretty quickly. As I'm passing, going into 4th, I look over... of course he is concentrating on what he is doing.
After I quickly put a couple cars on him, he gives up. I slow a little again to smile and give a thumbs up, but he makes a left at the next street......
Very very nice looking car, but the driver was way too serious.... :icon22: Win or lose, I'm always quick to give a big smile and thumbs up... I just don't get some people.
BTW, he was alone and looked about 160lbs. I had a passenger, and together we are about 420 lbs.
Thanks for reading guys/gals.... take care......

Yeah some guys are dicks.
I went to get my Firehawk emmissioned the other month and my passenger set up a race with a stg2 SRT with a 75 shot.
On the interstate from 4k in 2nd gear we hit and I'm barely pulling on him till I get to the top of 3rd. Bt 140 mph he was 4 cars and starting to fall quicker. We did it again from 3rd gear with the same outcome @ 140.
He was hitting NOS in every gear- he weighed 300lbs! and my passenger weighed about 200. The SRT guy was cool as ****.Sorry to hijack the thread, but I saw you had an SRT.
Congrats on the kill!

From what I saw based on my 2 races against him (he was slowly pulling my SRT), I'd say he runs at least high 12s @ 110-112. With DR, I think he could pull off a mid 12.

Not flaming ... but you hit the juice at WOT in first gear, and with around 500 to the wheels 'barely' spun your nitto's ?? I rarely see juiced cars hit it in 1st due to horrible traction, especially h/c + juice.
****, if I give it past half throttle in 1st, n/a, my nitto's just go up in smoke. You have some glue on those things or something?

"togather we weigh 420#" hrmmm.... very ambiguous....lol, j/k Good kill. 350Z's are nice cars, but in stock form just way too slow, modded they can be mean though, usually involving mad boost levels though.
