Default My 3.7 vs my buddies Nismo 370Z (Vids)

**nvm got it**

Hey guys, been a while since I posted on here. Figured I would post this up for your entertainment pleasures.

My buddy got this nismo 370Z about 2 months ago. Bought it from a doctor who said he chipped it, but Im a bit skeptical about that. Real nice car, love it.. looks like its racing even when its parked. One thing that bothers me about it is that the VDC cant be completely disabled. So basically I guess Nissan likes to babysit its drivers?

Anyways, The tires they come with arent that great (what stock tires are?). I think with alittle more seat time, he will be running more even with me, mabye even beating me.

These 2 videos are from a local track here.. actually the ONLY track here near FT. Bliss.. they allow passengers and you dont need a helmet. Probably because they dont get much people coming through. Track is decent.. but I was slipping around alot that night.

Enjoy.

Nice! Thanks for the videos, really answers a thread in the bench racing section in my mind.

What were the times? Is the 370 auto or manual? He could probably pull a fuse and disable vdc. Even though I think vdc doesn't apply here since you guys are racing in a straight line.

Lets see the times. Seems like he needs a lot more seat time as there is no way he should get beat like that. Should be a fairly even matchup with your mods.

This ^^^^

The distance between those two cars was a good 1 to 1.5 seconds. Good example of driver mod vs no driver mod. Not really a good example of how the cars themselves stack up.

Not taking away from the 3.7. Quick V6 for sure, and the driver definitely knows how to pilot it!
