Default Can i beat a slightly modded 05' 350Z manual?

My sister has a 05' 350Z manua, it has a short throw shifter, complete nismo cat-back ($1100), and a nismo cold air intake. she sais she has a performance clutch, but i doubt it.

i have a 07 GT, jlt intake, spidershaft driveshaft, tune, 275 tires, short throw shifter. im a pretty decent driver, she has been driving manual a couple years longer than me.

she swears she can beat me, what do you guys think?

Do you have a manual? I raced my buddies 06 track 350z and took him by 3-4 car lengths from a dig to 120 every time. He had an intake, plenum, mrev and exhaust at the time. I would say you have it in the bag if you can drive. Twisties are a different story. He took me for a ride and that thing can handle.

Good race but you should be a mid 13's car and she's probably high 13's.

I say you win. And tell her she payed way too much for an exhaust.

it should be a fairly close race. stock vs stock is extremely close in the 0-60 i believe

at the end of the day, you have 2 sexy cars in your family. if i didnt have my 07 gt, id have a z instead
