with the mods you have now the race would be very close.

i think after the unichip you will have the advantage.




oh btw, once you hit fourth gear you're finished.

i think you have a decent chance with those mods, as long ass your launch is decent, but i say cut it at 110, the z has a stronger 4th, regardless of that i think you should beat him by 1-2.5 car's

I seem to recall bone stock auto Zs running VERY low 14s... I'm sure some of the Z guys will chime in. Should be a good race regardless.

imho, the average auto z is gonna run mid 14's. but yes, i'm sure some have runs low 14's.

i'm sure the z guys will be here soon saying they've heard of or seen one run a 13.9 stock.

Once you get the chip you will own him.

given your past track performances, most notably your 14.2, i think you will have it even without the chip. you have had your car for awhile now, so i think your knowledge of the car will prove most valuable now.

I'll chime in

Auto Z's typically run mid to low 14s....and two have broken into the 13s bone stock. (both high 13.9s) Highest trap I've seen out of an auto 350Z was 100mph I believe.

Should be a pretty good run....let us know how it goes!

Well I wouldn't buy a Z regardless.

However if I had to, it would be in Auto form.

dunno, either. As I was picking up my Quest from service yesterday, I checked out the Z cars on the lot. ALL were auto. So there must be some demand. Then again, I'm in the NYC area where auto cars are in MUCH higher demand than manuals.

Peace.

I love my 5AT

Manuals are low tech and yesterdays news

What amazes me when everyone disses the AT is that F1 pilots haven't had a clutch for years. If it's good enough for them, it's good enough for me

F1 cars have clutches...they are just automatically controlled. An F1 car's trans has much more in common with a conventional manual trans than it does with an conventional automatic.

AUTO Z s are blah...

my friend used to have a TT Supra AUTO. we used to make fun of it all the time.

btt: it should be a a close race... race the Z from the roll and i think u should win, up to 100mph because once u hit 4th.. the Z will just walk away from u. CLS are slowwwww after 110 and Z will go all the way up to 140 before it gets slow.
