Nice kill. I actually have a couple buddies with 350Z's who really understand cars so they are cool to deal with and know that their cars are fast but arent the fasting things on the road and they appreciate my LS1. Ive gone with them to a couple of their meetings and got to see a few really done up 350Z's including one pushing 400+ HP through a procharger. However i know what you mean about the cocky ones. They have no idea about cars and have never driven anything really fast so when they get a 350Z they think its a friggen turboed porsche and that they can kill everything. Good job whooping on those guys though and BTW how did your car end up in a ditch?

My friend has a 79 Camaro with a warmed over roller 350 with a TH400 and 3.42's. The motor had TBI heads with some work done on them but with stock valves, a cam about the size of a stock LT1, and 10.1:1 compression from a zero decked block, nothing special at all. He ran a 6spd 350Z from a dig and beat it by about 1.5 carlengths to 115 and that was losing 1/2 a carlength from spinning. The 350Z's aren't bad cars, just not what they're hyped up to be IMO.

My G/F had my car the other day and it started to drizzle........She lost it getting onto the highway and put it DEEP into the ditch.
1 busted lf fender and scuffed front and rear bumpers.
It is almost done getting painted right now.
I had the entire thing repainted and the SS stripes put on the hood with some ghost graphics in the stripes with pearl blue.
Best part is that she paid for all the damage she caused! That's the best i could ask for. Now the car looks much better than when it was brand new.

I have the z28's and the trim removed, and a straight-thru magnaflow muffler going to a single chrome tip.
I get all kinds of fun kills this way!

Back to the point of this thread....
350Z w/ paper tags = Stock
Your car vs. Stock 350Z = Why bother?
I did the same thing to two 350Z owners when I was in Omaha.... w/ my Supra! That was funny. I guess they thought I was just some kid w/ a TT Supra and a big fart pipe, FMIC, and gauges (only three visible giveaways that they shouldn't have messed w/ me). Same result. I can't understand why they can't at least do some research and find out that their cars wouldn't even match mine stock for stock, let alone mine being modded.

Brandon, I think we met the other night. Up at UNCC area I was dropping off a car, George's SS to be exact, I think that was your car in the garage. Am i correct. If so, even slightly wrecked, still a bad *** whip. I love rolling off on 350Z's, especially the ones with blowers, they REALLY fancy themselves unstoppable. Such smug drivers in those cars for the most part. Very few take them for what they are, a nice, reliable good handling/braking car that happens to be reasonably quick. 14 flat @ 101 mph stopped being fast about 1997 or so. Even with FI, they rarely see 12's.

Haha I know ... Everytime I see one of them I know there is some doofy kid in there who thinks their car is a spaceship. Pretty much the only type of car who will race me. Shame the races against them are never any good.
