Default My SS vs TT 350Z and Pullied Lighting

I was heading back to my house and I saw a few guys I knew shooting some vids on a backroad by my house, there was a TT 350Z, a and a modded Lightning. The guy had just got his 350z back and was seeing how it ran, the guy in the L was a buddy of mine from HS. I lined up with the L 1st, we did a dead stop to 120 or so, my dumbass left traction control on and the car fell right on it's face, but once I hit 2nd I began to pull pretty hard, by 120 I was 5-6 cars up on him. Pretty quick truck.

Next I lined up with the 350z, we were doing about 20 and honked it off, I jumped pretty nice and ended up about 5 cars up on him by the top of 4th, at the stop sign he said they were spinning so we lined up at 40 and tried again, from 40-100 I was 2 up cars and shut down, the road was not as good as the other so I couldnt run it up to 120. Pretty good runs for just driving home, lol. Im not sure if they got vids but I hope they did, if so ill post em up asap.

I have to call BS on the 350z. I have run atleast 20 ls1's and only lost to two of them. IF your only making 401rwhp, and 380flb of torque he must not have tuned or he was supercharged and not turboed.

Most 350z owners make between 380-420rwhp with 6-7 psi of boost with no further mods and to pull on one by 3-4 cars is BS.

Im sorry you feel that way, but what I posted is 100% true. Hopefully the guy with the camera will get it online soon, the races were filmed from behind in the Lightning.

He may have not been able to drive the car very well. I remember I ran a lightning in my 300ZX TT and I messed up the launch in first gear.....There was no cathing him by third. On the highway later I pulled him real hard from third gear up but those lightnings can be real quick off the line with those AT tranny's.

Possibly, but both runs were from rolls, and he didnt seem to miss any shifts

There was a 44rwhp Z Garage 350z at the track a while back. My buddy in an FRC Vette raced him on the Freeway and the vette won.... the vette has full bolt-on's putting down 360rwhp

A full bolt on vette does not make 360rwhp.

Really well why don't you tell me what they all make then. I never start ****, but your are getting on my nerves like some others that own a LS1 and think it can't be beat by anything you think because you have a TT 350 that you know how every race will come out even when you are not involved? Get back to your key board racing. When ever your ready just let me know I know a lot of bolt on cars here in Houston that will run you with out a problem I am sure none of them will be able to keep up.

I think ima try and run him tonight, he says he's only traping 114-116 and my SS traped 117 back when it had 390hp. Well see what happens, you can't ever trust turbo guys.

I sent you a pm. I'm not to far from you now, we can make it happen asap. I can head out there right now if you want.

I have a few buddies with bolt on c5 and c6 vettes. The guy with the c5 makes 415 rwhp(no nos). So no I do not believe a full bolt on vette makes 360rwhp.

360 rwhp is on the higher end of a full bolt on but it is totally possable....
