Bolt on 99SS vs. intake/exhaust 350Z Finally ran my buddy that has a 2005 350Z with intake/exhaust. He is a decent driver.
Anyways, from a dig 2 times and the outcome the same. Up to around 80mph and had him by about 5 cars and shut down.
For some "fun", we switched cars and the outcome was different. He could not get my car to hook and I actually had him by about a nose by 80mph. He was reeling me in pretty good when I shut down. What a difference a good launch makes. I laughed at him and asked him what it felt like to drive a "fast car"!!

Nice races, and an interesting touch on it 
Now where's 25psi? Sure he'll claim there's some reason that the 350 lost, and of course the "real" race must have been the one where it won.

Yeah, racing someone that you don't know what they have is fun too.
My buddy wanted to see how his car would do against mine. I knew I would smoke him but, I will take any race at this point (not too many around here).
Like I said before, the best part was letting him drive my car and watching him roast the tires on the launch (4.10s will do that). I will have to say, his car was real easy to launch.

that makes 700ft-lbs at 3,00rpm? It's no easy task on the street.
Nice kill...and loss to your own car.
