5.0 vs a 350z
Pull into my local dunkin donuts, get called out... FRIENDLY RACE, winner buys loser shots at the bar...
line up 3 honks...
i rip the 350 out of the hole and hold the lead till about 50 and he makes it even and by 80 my nose was at his door...
i let off at about 85, he keep plowing through, comes back around we pull next to eacher i said damn that was close i did not expect that he said he left the car in Drive, run once more he is gonna use the sport mode or what ever its called those auto trannies... we go again, this time i left the hole very softly like an idiot stayed with him in first and once i his second he start piling on the bus lengths
... he said he was on it both times, but what ever he did the second time really made a difference...
my mods...
Bumped timing
Full Exhaust
Smog Pump ripped out
CAI
shift kit
his...
intake
tune
see kids, peak hp don't mean jack

That's what I'd expect from a low mod 350Z against a NO mod fox.

every track day I went to with the stang was with my 40 year old friend who leased an automatic2004 350Z with DR's and a drop in
he was a bracket racer so he just left it in D and went... his best run to date has been 13.9 @ 100MPH with him normally dipping sub 14's at 98-99MPH... so the picture of me just going to drag times and posting crap without track time is kinda off
^^ Terry's car at Milan
the car has a decent stocktorque converter when used (which most people usually just stomp it)... it can tach damn near close to 3K before the car starts to shudder... every race we hadmy bolt on 2004 GT would win some and lose some before my 4.10's went on
so I do speak from experience when I say the earlier models with a 5 speed can hit high 13's... as the auto can do it in good conditions by itself... I just don't understand why your views are so skewed about the car... I think I remember you calling it a "mid 14 second car"

I really don't understand your animosity towards the Z's.... and seeing your response from a resurrected thread awhile back I thought I would make a follow up as to why I talk about them so much

RE: 5.0 vs a 350z
I was just correcting your misinformed opinion of me as I have observed... that is all
since a new Z thread came about I thought I would post info about it and at the same time state where my info came from while at the same time correcting some questions you may have had as to my credibilty when I talk about them
