Default Silly 350z, tricks are for kids . . . .

So I was just cruising along at 75mph on Rt 840(outside Nashville TN) in the right lane when this grey 350z comes up alongside me and starts pacing me. No traffic, 11:00pm, what the hell. I punch it at 75(bad spot to race from) and pull by ahead by about 1/2 car lenght up to 100 and shut down. He flies by, but eventually slows down. We meet up again and I wave my hand and yell at him to slow down. We go at it from 60mph (perfect spot for an a4 to race). I abosoultely destroy him by several car lenghts when I shut down at 110.

Final race was from 80mph, dude wouldn't run me any slower. I let him get the jump and he pulls ahead about a car length immediatly. I reel him in and pass him like he's standing still by 110, and put a couple bus lengths on him by the time I shut down at ~150.

These cars pull insanely at 100+ mph

He probably just wanted to see you get on it. I've done this before in my dad's Silverado. Good kill though! I bet he enjoyed it more than you did.

^What? He said he has messed with people to get them to gun it in his Silverado, not outrun a 350Z.

If that's what you were implying.

I don't know about that one man. Most 350Z owners are cocky enough to believe they can beat a freakin Veyron!


GK to the OP

Yeah I know what you said, but the guy you were replying to only said he messed with fast cars just to see them go, in his silverado, not thast he outran any of them.

I had a 97 V6, I miss it, not the slow though...

Did you have your tranny worked over? B/C A4 cars are limited to 130mph. I had an A4 02 Z and tried my damnest to go more and it was stock either.

I can go faster then 130mph.
I have only done it once though, and I almost shat everywhere ( I just recently did it and my front tires are kinda bald)....Also it was on a three lane road with a speed limit of 45mph and I was racing a gutted/supercharged Tiburon. I won. Very stupid though.

Huh, I can't see you making friends with almost anyone...
Of course, you have all the earmarks of a "I just joined to Troll and stir ****" loser, but I could be wrong. I sort of doubt it tho'.

I assure you an A4 will do more than 130 stock with no tweaks.

I think this guy in the 350z was a six speed too, but I'm not 100% sure.

Z28's are limited to 125-130 but when you upgraded to the SS package you got the limiter at 165 . . . better tires for faster speeds
