z28 vs 350z
my z28 is a '00 m6 w/ just magnaflow cat back..
the silver 350z came to this local meet tonight.. cool guy besides his comment about my car not being "inspiring" enough to race..
he informed me w/ the intake, flywheel, and exhuast he has on the car.. he's probably making 300 wheel.. damn those 350's get bang for the buck.. aren't they 285 at the crank stock? lol
he decides he'll humor me with a race..
we get on the highway.. he takes the left lane.. he's hanging back.. goin about 60.. i downshift.. and slow down a bit.. just sitting there w/ the rpms up.. slow down a bit more.. look over he's trying to say something.. figured cop or something..
less then a minute later.. he downshifts.. revs up.. so i'm like ok .. i down shift and light up again.. he's sitting there.... ok.. i lunge forward abit.. then i hear him downshift again.. .. .. we're off.. well.. kinda.. get to the top of third.. .. look up in the rear view and see some pretty nice headlights.. and some smoke from my exhuast.. as i'm shifting to 4th. .keep going a little and let off.. tap the brakes.. ... 350 flys by..
get off the highway.. 350 guy pulls up.. 'That wasn't a fair start!' he rolls up the window and takes off.. so oh **** i take off.. off idle.. by 3rd i'm at his back bumper and let off.. coming up on traffic
guess my car wasn't worth of a real run..

Lol I can't believe the kid thinks he's an elitist because he drives a $27,000 car that comes a dime a dozen. As far as elite goes he has absolutely no reason to think he's special in his 350z. Next time race him from a dig just so you can how bad you can beat him in the quarter. Believe me when the ricer is cocky theres always a next time. Nice kill and keep that kid in his place.

Good kill. I humbled one a few weeks ago that tried to jump me (came screaming up from behind). I nailed the throttle and he couldn't pass me despite coming up already in his powerband.
Anyway, just a suggestion: if you are going to do a semi-organized race, set up how you are going to run beforehand. For example: "let's go from a 40-punch on the 3rd honk, and shut down at 120". Pick-up races that happen randomly are one thing, but if you are rolling out from the parking lot, it makes sense to set it up right and avoid confusion and screwed up runs.
Have fun.
