Nah it's cool. You made valid points and your totally right. I'm 21 years old and I just try to keep it cool with whoever it is. I really won't engage a race either unless I get picked on. I might pace someone once in a while but I don't make it evident. The people you say "prey at night" I know exactly what geeks your talking about haha.

That's OK, Because there are dick's with every car. There are plenty here that never had a fast car before and THINK there LS1 is the fastest thing on the road. lol.

I consider myself an enthusiast.. I like to hang out with all kinds of people/cars. I also like to ride around with a buddy with a camera. I do prey sometimes, but i don't pick the battles. Usually someone will pick with me. I know there is always someone faster. Who ever has the most money will always win. If they lose all they have to do is go back to a shop and get their setup redone.

No numbers as of yet. Hoping to get around 380-400rwhp. Just as a rough estimate.

The only problem I see with the 350z's is the performance part

That's a highly unqualified statement. "Performance" is more than just straightline acceleration.

350z is the most well rounded car under 30k. It might not be the fastest car in the world, but it will hold its own in most cases. Strap a 5-6000 dollar turbo kit on there and it will wax 80% of the cars on the road.

Thankfully for the mustang crowd it can be stretched to include exhaust note as well.



JK, there are some BAD mustangs out there, my friend's 05 Yellow GT (CLEAN! lowered and with a VERY WELL integrated duckbill spoiler, LOVE IT) is pushing well over 500 to the tires. Dual power adders

Personally I think the EVO is the most well rounded car for 30k, but I don't really like the body style.

Maybe so, but looks are a very important part of the equation.

Yeah, 350z's aren't that fast as of now, just wait for more FI 350's to show their heads and you'll think otherwise. They handle great and sound hella sex4y!

350znal, you should see 380-400rwhp easy on 9psi.

I made 416rwhp and 454ftlb at 8-9psi. The 462rwhp, was made on race gas and methanol.

Fortunately, I'm in the good 20%.

An 80% is a B-...damned near a C+...not good for a turbo car Maverick.
