Default 300zx

Killed a 300SX from 70-105mph. I pulled him hard enough to see him in my rear view (maybe 150 ft or 4 cars or so roughly?) assuming I beat him by 4 cars, and assuming he traps around 94-95 mph (i looked it up. most stock NA 300ZX's trap that) What would this have me trapping at? I know, its a stupid thing, but the track is closed this weekend due to rain I think Help, is my car still a turd only beating a 300 by @4 cars 70-105?

Hey man, if they want race,then a win is a win.
I had some Tiburon GT **** with me, and the kid was trying to race me through city streets.
I caught him at a red light, and ****** SMOKED him.

Hey, I wasnt looking for trouble, but i felt real good about it.


Good Kill O'l Boy!

I am the one he is speaking of that he raced before and tied and now smoked his doors off. I finally got my timing set correctly and he did the carb swap. I beat him by 3-4 lengths from 20 and 40 rolls. I set his timing the next day and he said the car runs better. More tuning and a race tomorrow if the weather allows.

I know some American cars are pretty big but didn't realise a single car length was nearly 38 feet

I am very generous to the loser when I quote car lengths in a victory. When I lose I try to use the 20' length or so as a standard I had the NA Z by a lot. The night before I actually HAD run what I think was a TT 300ZX and I pulled dead even with him b/c I missed a gear, would have pulled 1 car on him had I not (lost a car and gained it back whne I found the gear). We both had passengers.
