Default Bolt-on LT1 vs. 300ZX

this has to be one of the funniest races i have ever ran. i wen out cruising and this 300zx pulled up next to me. he pulled (two girls one cup) about a length but then i hit the gas and blew past him. we raced one more time and after we let off, he caught up and we heard this loud *** grinding noise. the dude had to have blown his transmission. to top it off, his girlfriend winked in smiled at me.

Generation?
Engine?
Any info on the Z?
Or another vague description of a "race"?

Unlikely since the body style in his avatar was never sold in the States unless it was converted.

Sounds like you raced a non turbo.

It's a great feeling you beat some import driver and his girlfriend riding shot gun. You just see the look in there eyes that there wishing they were in you car.

Wasn't turbo then.
Stock Z32 TTs should run mid 13's and trap about 104.

High 13's at best usually, at 102 or so. A mid 13 should not be expected.

And a bolt-on LT1 won't run that? I distinctly remember outrunning 2 or 3 turbo Z's in my area with shorties and a CAI, and 3rd gear was nasty for them.

Never said that.
Zs respond very well to light mods as well.

It definetly will not catch up, and "blow past him" as this guy did. And all things equal will probably lose heads up race as well.

Good slaughtering! Trying to catch you All his best, made him brake his sh*t, haa. But you skipped picking up that easy passenger looking for a good ride.. Mild Bolt on Z's Hung with me. Enough mods to get the job done but, somehow couldn't? . Maybe i ran into a weak pair? No doubt its a sweet car, i like.

Nice kill. I like reading about LT1 kills every once in a while. They are getting extremely rare to read about.

I'd have more stories, but mine's been down for 2 years.
