... in a 350z.
It all started out when this Marina from Minnesota was asking me to race. I declined because he wanted to race in a shitty *** road where they got caught by the cops the week before. Everytime I've been there, we get caught. Shitty place to race from a dig. Too close to town, right next to an airport tower.
The Marine drives a blue 2000 Camaro Z28. It's an auto with 3.23 gears. He has an LS6 intake manifold, ported throttle body, and a lid.
The 350z belongs to a friend. He does not know how to drive it too well so he let me drive it last night. It's a 2007 350z. Very nice car. It's bone stock. It has gone 13.4 at the track. I drove this car and my first run I ran a 14.0 bogging the **** out of it and shirting around 6800rpms... I did not know the **** revved to 7500...
After I declined racing him, my friend in the 350z pulled up. I suggested that he should race the 350z. The Marine says he will spank it but he will race it regardless. He hits up my friend and they begin talking. The marine says he will smoke him and my friend tells him that the 350z is pretty fast. They go back an forth about whos car is faster. Finally I tell them to take it from a roll and find out. So my friend hands me the keys and off we go.
First race was from a 45mph or so. I had the 350z in second gear. Im used to roll racing so by the third honk I jump him very hard, and just kept pulling and pulling till about 100mph. I would say a good 4 cars or more...
The second race he honks it off and it's pretty much the same thing. This time we went from a 50mph roll. Id say a solid 4 cars.. maybe a little more. I took it up to 110 or so in that race.
The Marine says his car did not perform very well and wanted to go from a dig, but he was not willing to drive 20 minutes to the safe race spot. So we put it on hold to the middle of the week. I will race him with my LS1 from a dig.
On the way back to the hang out spot, my friend in an dumdumdumdum raced the auto LS1 from a roll. The first race the dumdumdumdum got him by a car and a half or so. The second race the LS1 took it. I was quite astonished, considering that I rape this dumdumdumdum from a roll in my LS1.
I was very impressed with the 350z and it's abilities. Very nice quiet car. Great brakes, and suspension. I guess I can call it an official LS1 killer LOL!
To be fair to the Marine with the LS1, he does not know how to race from a roll. His car would delay for the downshift, then would go. Im sure that if he had it already in low gear, it would have been a much better race.

Actually the '07+ 350Zs are considerably quicker than the G35s and the 03-06 350Zs... good kill OP. I'm sure there will be people in here bitching later though

OP, nice runs. Maybe now some of the people around here an HR ('07+) Z and an LS1 are in fact a drivers race especially from a roll.

My friend has an 06 with cold air and a new intake manifold. We have run on the street and strip. I have never had a problem with him and I just have minor bolt ons. He let me drive his car and I am really impressed how it pulls up top more than down low. What gets me though is I have a 3.5 Altima and have nothing done to it and I give him a run for his money. I would def. own one though, great handling car.

I thought I was going to have my hands full when I saw the title
.
Anyway, to clear a few things up...
The new 350z uses the VQ35HR. The new infiniti g37 uses the stroked VQ37HR. Nissan hasn't yet put the stroked VQ37 into the 350, at that point it's name will probably change to be 370z. Some theorize that it will get the VR38DE from the skyline (non-turbo), but that's doubtful as the VQ37HR is already in the G and the japanese skyline 370gt (codename:mini skyline).

I was impressed last night with it. I was in first gear maybe around 2500rpms and I shifted hard into second and just nailed the gas and the car spun all over the place. I was surprised that the car spun the tires at so low rpms. It was fun to slide from side to side.

Yeah I don't doubt it. Owning a nissan kinda makes me a fan of their engines(wifes car). I like my Altima it suprises a few people. Best race was an 99-04 GT getting onto a hwy that had two entry ramps that merged into one. I was on the inside and him on the outside. At 100 I was still at his rear bumper and let off so he could get over. He slowed down and looked over like wtf and 4 door sedan. I gave him a thumbs up.
