Default Me vs a 300zx

Drivin' down 64 after taking a trip to best buy I merge on and see a pretty decent looking 300zx w/ a bunch of guages on it's a-pillar. I figured he'd want to go so we fished along w/ each other until a break came in the traffic.

We line up at 60 mph and I hear him downshift and I gun it. He pulls about half a car maybe a whole car and then we shut down at about 110.

I have some problems and it just doesn't seem like Nelson Perf. is able to fix them. Looks like I'm going to be looking up Mr. Creech whenever I get back in town. Who knows. I have my daily driver now so anyone that is willing to buy my car. Thread here. Just name a price.

yeah. I've beat twin turbo 300zx's before. Just goes to show that just because you're a muscle car doesn't mean you're always going to win.

I see you post on here a lot and im not bashing you in any way but somthing is def wrong with your car.and its more than atune your numbers are wayway off.you should really have it checked out and get a good tune in it.
my car is basicly like yours and made 500rwhp at 9psi and traps over 120mph.

I found out today that while I've never met up with that 300 before other people definitely have and it's no joke. It has a completely built motor in it. My buddy who has the lightning I post up about sometimes took him on last year and lost by about the same amount and then the guy posted up how he destroyed the L. But about my tuning, I'm getting married w/ a kid on the way and I just can't afford to be putting any more into the car right now. I owe 14,5k$ on that and will accept that if anyone wants it.

Boosted99, you said at 9#'s you made 500rwhp. Well, I'm only putting five down. And W/ 9 lbs I could probably trap around 120mph. It's not my trap speed I'm concerned about it's the trap time ;-).
