What should have happened was, put the guy who was video taping in the vettes car just to make things more even. I'm pretty sure thats why the 350z owner won the first time, since he didn't have anyone in the car. If hes making 430rwhp, he's not even at 10psi. I made 416rwhp with 7-8psi.

From the information given not one time in any of the races, day or night, was the 350Z running solo.

I'm all for that z06, but give the 350z some chance and don't take the move that's rediculous. AND if I only have a few car lengths on a car at 145 then I wouldn't brake right in front of him. But hey, what the hell do I know?

And I, for one, happen to like the 350Z

Sounds like the vette had a passenger also.

a little present for you Chevy lovers 
1400whp NA
1700whp - 300 shot
Not sure if you can see it because I had to shrink the pic, but look at the badge on the block in the last pic
this is an 84 S-10, the pic shows his accident, which he has fully rebuilt the body since. He walked away with a broken finger.

yeah especially once you reach 160mph - cause last I heard joe doesn't have his ECU flashed to remove the speed limiter which is 160mph. Even with his 3.36 final drive his top speed would maybe be 190
then again who cares about going past 160?

Good race and thanks I'm glad to see all the **** talk ended to respect both cars. Most of the Z guys love the Z06 and make the mullet references because they are funny (and stereo types come from somewhere right?).
I'm hoping that in 3 years when the resale value of the Z06 falls flat that I can buy one too, lol.

You guys never saw the video of the Z that went up to like 200 or 220? something. It crashed around the corner.
And neither car is designed to be run at that speed. Being capable and designed are 2 different things.

tons of vettes that can handle 200mph, especially the z06/c6 that we are talking here. I think stock limits it to 176 for the z06 and 186 for the new c6. The new z07 is 196 I think I have read. 220 maybe different, but 200mph isn't out of the question. Like I said, 190 in that 350z, I just can't imagine, but than again, I don't own one either. I've been in quite a few vettes. Even the C5 feels safe at 170mph.
What's the 350z top speed governed too. I know the old 300zx was 155.
Now I wouldn't argue you at all if I was trying to take my formula to those speeds. 160 is stable, but I don't know if I would push it past that.

There isn't ECU limitation, only aero, gearing, and HP are limitation for C5 & C5 Z06 and C6 &C6 Z06.
