Then I added a 100 shot on top of that and the damn thing blew up off the line on the first pass.. I brought it to the dealer after putting it back stock. Had them replace the motor and sold that piece of crap. Fun car to drive though. But my 02 Z28 is funner!!
Oh, and it dynoed @ 255rwhp and 250rwtrq completely stock on a mustang dyno.. My 2002 Z28 A4 dynoed @ 306rwhp and 311rwtrq stock and ran a 13.60 @ 104 mph with a 2.0 60ft.
Then consider yourself a descent driver. Most that i have run into are douchebags. I know the 350 is capable of 13's, but most will never see it.

I agree with chavez...I've yet to see a 350z pull a good time at the strip...it's probably there to get but good drivers are few and far between

Being a car guy (I assume), you should understand that this would be like me shooting a gun at someone because I like the scoped rifle they are carrying. It is seen as a challenge.

G35 drivers have to be the most cocky people i have come across. more so than the kids around here who's dads buy them mustangs/vettes for their sixteenth birthday and then dont know how to drive them lol.
only ran one from a 35mph roll up to 75. he was so far back by then i just let off. and what happened? flyby.
as for the 350Z, those little bastards are elusive, i always see them...going the opposite direction.

by the way, good kill OP in that sick yellow cobra of yours.
now get some more mods and really show them what those can do.

Good kill. My mom actually just bought an '08 G35 on monday. Its a nice car with decent power for a sedan but it is by no means fast. My neighbor on the other hand has a TT 350z that runs in the 11's.

Is that neighbor looking to sell his 350z? I got a message from a guy that is wanting to sell his 350z TT and buy my Exige.

I too tend to not try to generalize a large class of individuals by the actions of a select few, however I'm consistently noticed that the G35 drivers are freaking crazy. Most typically fly around the highway like they're in a car as fast as a Ferrari, however they tend to be dicks when reminded that their car is only as fast as a stock Cobalt SS!

Yesterday evening I had a young kid driving a nice looking blue G35 whip by me on the curb of an entrance ramp just to cut me off and nose into bumper to bumper traffic. Had there been no traffic, he would've got what he deserved, however I typically try to avoid street racing on a crowded highway at rush hour!
