The 370z hooks really well: 0-60mph bone stock is over 1/2 second faster than even the 2002 SS/WS6 cars. Don't worry about what you are reading above either: you will pull on him up top- last I checked the 370Z cars are not .5 second + faster than the LS1 cars. If your launching abilities are in question at all, then go for a low roll race.
Also, don't compare them to a 350Z: 370Z is alot faster! Matter of fact, I raced a NISMO 350Z (supercharged) one week, then on the exact same spot of highway two weeks later ran a then-just-released 370Z: My guess is the 370Z would have edged out the NISMO 350Z. I was CAI and tune only then, and in a A4, and put about 2 cars on both from 55-110mph.

My fiance 08 350z hooks really well and is actually a very quick car. When mine was stock she stayed with me for awhile until my top end took over. Those cars are a few hundred pounds lighter and hook alot better so from a dig it would be a pretty good race considering the 370z has a little more hp.

I've seen everywhere from 4.7-5.2... regardless, that's not half a second faster than an LS1 WS6/SS. I've seen those as low as 4.8. 0-60mph is a pretty useless statistic anyway, since it doesn't really show you which car will be in front by the time you hit 60mph.

Imo, stock for stock, it's a driver's race.

I have a 99 vert and smoked the **** out of a 370z when I came across one (right after they first came out). I had bolt-ons, but the race was from a roll and it was a joke. If you lose just throw some headers and an LS6 intake on and call him out again.

I raced a 99? SS auto on the highway in my G35. He gave me the hit and never caught up again. Not sure what the issue was, maybe it was a dead spot for him. A 370Z has 30 more hp and weighs less than my car. I would recommend a low speed roll, these things kinda suck below 50mph for whatever reason.

I agree too. OP is modded, he'll beat him.
Or he was pacing you? Not in the same league as a G35.

But to the OP if you can drive it shouldn't be much of a problem. Its a drivers race.

Sounded supercharged to me: pretty hard to mistake the whining sound of a supercharger. I tried to find my kill post on it since I believe it had either a sticker in the window? or on the rear valance? that said "Supercharged" or "350Zsc"? Been over a year now and I can't remember: In the post I thought he was bullshitting about a supercharger since I didnt think there was such a kit, but was told otherwise.

You would think, eh? Did some research on it and no NISMO came with a supercharger. Lots of references to the stillen kits though: apparently you could get up to 400rwhp before you start breaking things at around 8psi. stillen kit comes with a 5psi pulley, which puts it around 340rwhp.
All i know is the facts: i beat him; he was noticeably faster than a couple other 350Z's that I had raced, and about as fast as that 370Z. And he had markings saying he was supercharged, along with the supercharger whine.
I honestly don't care unless he beats me: then I woulda paid more attention.

The only way one will get 400rwhp is from a centri SC (Vortech, etc).
Here is a good thread about the dismal gains provided by the Stillen kit...

A little off topic but I found this to be interesting. Both of these cars have identical mods: intake, full exhaust. The Camaro has no tune. Funny how it gets so lopsided once the bolt-ons go on. And 13 year old technology to boot.

2) The bolded part is SUCH A DUMB ARGUMENT. For the record, the VG/VQ series of V6s from Nissan is more than 20 years old. Not that it matters.
