Default Damn some imports can hang!!!!

Well i was going down I-35 here in dallas last night, not that many cars at midnight i guess people had to work early...lol..but back to the story. I was drving down when i see this 350Z it looked preety much stock just some nice rims and can you believe no stickers. Well im driving and I see that he is just driving next to me all the way down the freeway, so i think to myself he wants to play. So i slow down and line up next to him, I start to honk my horn and we take off at the third honk. Its the first time that an import has given me a challenge, we were dead even till we hit 140mph its the fastest I have ever gone in my car and I can admit it I was scared. In the end i think he couldn't take it anymore because my car ended being numero 1.. he gave me a thumbs up and went his way. Funny thing is that i think he had like a turbo or soemthing becuase I could here like a hizzing sound during the whole race. Made me have just a tiny bit of respect for imports.....not

lol alrighty

most 350zs don't have stickers, just fyi. not exactly the same as a civic.
and he wasn't turbod unless you have some decent mods. he probably just had an intake, maybe exhaust too (these would explain the sound, there's one intake called the JWT popcharger that 350z owners say people mistake for FI).

stock for stock you'd take him easily anyway. good kill.

I have seen a 350Z fully riced out, I mean stickers everywhere and I mean everywhere. This Asian guy was driving it, it did look fast but i think all those stickers were holding it back because my brother took it in our silverado. Then he asked my brother if he had a supercharger in the truck my bro was like no your car is just too slow .0..just one of many experiences

I see 350z's everywhere. It's like aliens are invading and there's nothing we can do! Except take them out one by one on the road, strip, or bench. And the real kicker is not showing them our cars are faster...it's stealing that hot girl they have in the passenger seat...pink bunny slopes score!

Yeah, I ran a Turbd 350Z from 30 to about 100 with him close to my bumper... Then we hit the breaks because of traffic, gave each other a thumbs up and went our ways....Those things can get pretty fast...

O here we go again. You beat a turbo 350z, that traps anywhere from 115-118 on7-10psi with your stock trans am. What are your mods?

They are not saying you made it up. But you said that you raced a Turbo Z and killed it no problem........Your future mods look great but if its stock....it ain't happening.

You beat a TT 350Z because your car is so light from those slotted rotors you have.
