Guy with a Z is pestering the crap out of me.

I was SOO tempted to say that he would be better matched with a V6, but didn't for the sake of not starting an argument.

The 350z has 306hp and 3400 lbs.

Looks more like a v6 then a SS matchup.

HA! his third friend would be so mad rolling around that little bitty trunk space that the Z has.

When you win, tell him should of raced a V6. Though you may lose that race also... lol...

Yeah that's definitely a V6 matchup. Please race this guy and put him in his place. Or at least show him the timeslips for a mostly stock SS and 350Z so at least you can say you tried to reason with him.

Just beat him already and post back here with the results!!!

I've found that people usually dont make excuses after they lose money. If he does, offer to race again, but triple the wager. He will shut up then.

Follow the above advice. Don't abuse your car just because some guy on the playground is going "nee-ner nee-ner....neee-ner".

your friend sounds like his real girlfriend is his hand

you might consider gradually removing him from your circle of trust friends

If you did race him and damaged your car, I can guarantee you that he will just go "nee-ner nee-ner...neee-ner".

You already "won" the race by ignoring him.

Just race him already.. You dont even haft to dog on you car to win

I owned a 350z for about 3 years. The car had some weight reduction, exhaust intake and tune and I turned in a 13.1....all I am saying is be careful, and make sure you get a good start. My 350z was easy to launch.

350z with a decent driver will net high 13s stock (my brother owns one). I've seen stock Camaro SS cars net the same results or higher with drivers that dont normally track their cars.

If you do track the car you have nothing to worry about unless he has other mods. I vote 2 out of 3.


Edit: Just to be fair my brothers first time at the track was a 14.85!!! LMAO

True, his is the HR 08 model as well, he won't be far behind.

To make a long story short. Daily since I got my SS he has asked me to race his Z. I don't street race whatsoever, he recommends we go to the local drag strip and settle it there. Am I going to completely wipe the tarmac with this Z? Or, is it a a fair race? I really don't want to hurt his feelings, because I think he truly believes he can take my SS.

I'm sure everyone gets tired on the Camaro vs. ??? threads. But, I'm not going to even line up with him if the race won't even be fun.

You'll kick his @ss easily , i beated 370z with the same mods + tune

Sorry but I find that hard to believe. This is the top 10 fastest 350z times from the largest 350z forum on the net.
