Umm, nice race. But seriously, your Fox is nothing but a high 14 second car at best, at best. The 350Z auto runs low 14's stock. I dont see how you ran within a car of him, but we all know driver mods are the lacking aspect in ever race.

When me and my other friend with a 2006 350z were stock, we raced at the track... He got a 14.3 I got a 14.4, so it was close. My friend is now TT

well as i said i was shocked to ****... once i get a quote from the body shop for body work to it, itll decide weather im gonna go ahead and do more work to the car or just scrap it and buy another fox. once i get everything on the car i have just laying around i should be able to rip his *** easily and maybe finish on top

Nice runs. Sounds like expected results. At least he wasn't some douchebag ricer. A lot of 350 drivers are, I have to admit.......

it's shifting manually... it doesn't help out at all on any sports car, thesport automatic trannies shift the same as leaving it in D... on a luxury car like mine however... leaving it in D results in early shifts and extremely soft shift points

it is my understanding that a car that is designed to race goes faster just leaving it in drive, whereas a car designed for comfort is faster with selectshift

there was something else besides him just putting it in manual shift mode.... because it doesn't affect performance at all on a Z, perhaps a better launch?

Used to.I had an '06 6-sp Coupe. The autos can be left in drive, or dropped into sportshift mode, which allows you to shift manually. The difference in drive and manumatic mode is negligible at most, so I'm guessing the first race, he goofed the launch, or maybe wasn't WOT the entire time. There shouldn't be that difference between him racing you in Drive and Sportshift mode. And I'm kinda surprised he beat you that bad. When i had mine, I knew a guy w/ a '91 GT w/ intake, headers, exh, and 3.73's (he claims) and he'd hang w/ my lightly modded Z pretty well. Oh well, respectable death.......
