Default 350z vs my ls1

Alright i know this isn't that great of a kill but damn it i'm happy. I raced a guys 07 350Z HR edition. He's got a full exhaust and tune on his car and i have a lid and headers all the way back. First race was from 40, he jumped on the second beap and pulled about half a car and it stayed that way all the way till 100 when he let out. Second race was from 40 also, jumped at the same time i got a lead of about half a car, stayed the same till about 100 and i pulled till about 130 and let off leading by about a car length. I didn't realize the HR was that quick with a tune. I've beat regular 350s before but damn. The only reason i posted this was because it's his first loss because he he had spray and usually wins but he pulled the kit off last night. Oh by the way, i know i'm a below average driver lol.

I've heard those new 350z have some *****, but damn, didn't think the top ends were that good. Good race.

new 07 350z just the normal onces are hitting mid 13's pretty regularly. tune and exhaust i could see netting them bttom 13's race sounds about right. your headers give you the advantage

Nice races. Sounds like those HRs are quick little buggers with a little work.

im glad the 350z has finally caught up. best looking car on the road to me. always liked them but there performance didn't match the looks. now seems like they do.

just to pricey for me. and they get worse gas mileage than us

have a guy at work that was wanting to run his 350Z that he put skyline emblems on for paychecks. I was all for it but a couple of his buddies talked some sense into him. Gotta be careful with all these cars though OP sneaky little *****.

his argument is that the motors are pretty much the same. And this is a mechanic for the army. Poor guy is one dumb SOB. Told him I had a Chevy svt z06 with the added gt package.

My buddy (VeeTec on car forums) has a stock '07 350Z 6-speed and his best e.t. was 13.1 at Carolina Dragway(I was there) and his best mph to date was 107 at SGMP which is known to produce good times. They're definitely a force to be reckoned with but the average one you'll see will be in the mid 13's especially if it's an auto.

Lol exactly, the skyline best i have seen is a 11.7 bone stock, which is good, but stock z06s have gone 10.9s on stock tires, with drag radials even lower. Lets see what the zr-1 will do

The skyline beat the z06 around the ring, but the new zr-1 beat the z06 by 17 seconds around it.

skyline is a joke; 115mph in the 1/4 cant even compare to 124-127mph for the Z06. About the ring, they took a boosted unit with racing tires to impress everyone. It did create a buzz to make the fanboys adore it at first, but everyone is getting back to earth now they realize that 480hp in a 4000lbs car will never be the king of the hill. But the car will react nice to mods, like a shelby gt500(500hp in a 4100lbs car..).

You cant compare 2 cars that have a 10mph difference in the 1/4 IMO.
