are you auto or manual? i have seen the new Z cars getting into the 13s with the track models...and decent tires...NISMO offers factory minor power adders like intake and exhaust, with dyno sheet backed numbers...

Not to be a dick, but he MEANS 287 hp models not 387. those cars are pretty sweet, but i think you would have him from a roll. His torque(274ft/lbs) isnt really up to par with yours. He also does not have the weight advantage on you like most other imports. He weighs 3400+ to your 3200+. I think you can take him. I know this "magazine racing" , but from the specs, I think you got it.

im not trying to paper race, but what does your car run, 00stang37? do you know? a good driver in a 350z track model should be able to get into the 13s, especially with the various nismo bolt ons.

also, stillen makes a roots style supercharger for them...

the rest of the car was a bit much for me...he had so much stereo crap packed into the back seat and trunk that it probably needs that blower to run like a stock 350z.

On the highway I want to say that you would have had him, because your top end should be a little better. From a dead stop I'm not sure it would probably be a drivers race.
