Guys a friend of mines just picked up an 05 350Z 6sp man, Somehow he has it in his head that he will run circles around my 01 Cobra. All things being equal, what do you guys think?

I kinda raced one when I had only an exhaust on my 99 Cobra.. It beat me off the line in first gear but I then began to pull HARD in second.. The guy shut it down as I was about 1/4 way into 2nd so I never really got to see how it was going to end up..

This very short race was well over a month ago so from the best I can remember I would have killed him if we went up to 3rd and 4th gear w/ no problem..

Yeah I hear that they are pretty quick, but on the heavy side. I have never really seem on in action. I guess will do some reaserch on the test numbers for this car. But I am confident I am going to roast him. Thanks for the input.

My dad has one and he was neck and neck with me when i had my GT. There quick and pull hard in every gear. I think you would be able to take one though. Stock vs Stock that is.

You will win especially up top. Go out and work him over.

depending upon the engine theres either a 287 hp engine or a 300 hp engine.

the 2001 mustang cobra has about 320 hp so even if he has the upgraded engine you got him.

GO KICK SOME ***!!! [sm=gears.gif]

Spray you think the Z will take me in the turns? I figuered the Cobra w/IRS was comparable in handaling to some of the better handaling cars out there. We have this spot where go, it's about 3/4 mile str8 strecth of road then it goes into a mild up hill sweeping left/right then another 1/4 or so of str8 away. it's an old airstrip that was coverted to a regular road. So I gues I better make sure that I have him by a good distance before we come up to the turns huh? I am not worried about the str8 aways, but I was little concered about the S Turn.
