Some of those Zs are freaks, I've beat modified ones and lost to mostly stock ones.

The HR 350Z's were capable of going deep into the 13's stock. The earlier Z's were a lot weaker. It's a good loss, just stay away from the 370's.

why do you keep trolling in the front drive LS4 section? Your post count not high enough in the last 2 years?

How was traction? Their usual limiting factor is traction. My buddy got a 06 for his wife and that car will roast the tires from a stop. But if he hooks it up, that sucker rolls out pretty well. He put a intake on it too and it seems to have picked up a decent amount of power throughout the band...

My guess, run him again and get him outta the hole and he'll be at your bumper.

im sorry, sir.. have i upset you?

i wouldnt exactly call it "trolling"..

i believe i have made a total of MAYBE 10 posts in this section in my entire time here... 2 in the past few days or so.. dont think that constitutes as "trolling"..

second, i dont go to any specific section.. i brose the "new posts", if i see something that spikes my interest, i go in.. the reason this did is because i thought it was out of the norm for a 350z to beat an ls1, regardless of year.. so i was curious as to the mods of the 350z and the ls1.. i didnt figure out it was the "front drive ls4 section" till i was almost done reading the post and i was like wtf? looked around, and ill be damned.. where am i!? you guessed it... in YOUR forum... right?



all in all, ill post where ever i want.

Ya going from a roll is a lot better for us. I had a friend with a g35 who raped me off the line and refused to go from a roll. Well we finally got to a track and I had better tires and I put 2 cars on him. Those cars can launch pretty hard with the autos.

I'm with you on that! I raced my buddies cobalt SS/SC from a 45 roll and he pulled about 1.5 cars on me, granted he has full exhaust, upgraded pully, tune and some other things, but he won't race me from a dig.

lol you are also going from a 45 roll which is terrible for our cars. try a 65+ roll or 25 roll and you will spank him.

If you can get your TCM reprogrammed, your car will pull harder from a roll. Mine has all of the delay taken out of the upshifts and downshifts. It also will automatically downshift to first when I floor it at any speed up to 45 mph. It will automatically downshift to second when I floor it at any speed between 45 and 85 mph. This really wakes the car up from a roll. I lost to a 350Z before I got my ECM/TCM reprogrammed. I beat one since I got them reprogrammed. I am not a good driver.
