Ya i know dont race, blah blah...i very rarely do, but when i do i go vs hard cars...we never got past 90mph.

Location: 6lane (3up-3down) straight road, light traffic, the 3 of us AT THE FRONT OF THE LIGHT . Yamato rd vs Jog rd, in boca, Fl. @ 2:00pm!!

Cars: ----95 generation Camaro -looked stock, definetly a V8 (rev sound)
------------94 generation Nissan 300zx Twin turbo -TT mode w/ loud exhaust+
=======>my 1999 A-Tl -reverse gear has a turbo

The story:

Coming home from lunch with my father (after school) i noticed the 300xz and a camaro dodging traffic like crazy, i was like 8cars behind, going slow 'cause a van infront of me, and NO INTENTIONS of racing......that is untill i get to the light where all the cars clear, the camaro and the 300zx are next to each other and so i take the third lane looking for trouble

Action:

take-off arrangememt is (from S->N)Camaro, MT 300xz, Tl

i notice the camaro guy lowers his window and points his finger down the road, the 300zx dud confirms and then i lower my window and ask "we going?" the two guys smile and nod, my involuntaraly reflects turn the A/C off and drop in SS mode.

We wait like 3hours for the frikin light to change, i looked over and BAM the 300zx takes off and a split second later (ya i wasnt paying attention and neither was the camaro) the camaro and i take off at the same time, exept he burns a lot of tires while i take off easily with out even chirping...300zx is like 3-4 CAR LENGTHS (C.L.) infrot...by the time i click into 2nd, the camaro and i catch up to the 300zx (he's slow as fuck!). Left in the dust, the camaro and i continue at it untill 80mph when i notisable start gaining distance...OH OH, slow(erer) cars, i safely and smothly dodge the 2 cars blockin my lane and the 300zx's and do it while being 2+C.L.s from the camaro===>pownage

lemmi stop saying I...if it wasnt for the car i'da lost.

We slow down back to 55 (limit 45) so does the camaro and the 300zx...they both line up with [us] and want to go from a roll and the 300zx beeps 1ce, 2ce 3...and off the go...heh, late again, [we] do too...by the time [we] reach 90mph [we're] going the same speed as the camaro but he has like 1/2car on [us]...way infront of the 300zx, [we] stop, and call it a day...i dont wanna beat up on the Tl

We meet at the next light, we pull over and talk for a while

Hope you enjoyed, i'm off to Autodiscount, to get some some Tranny conditioner, fuel system cleaner and some WAX...gotta pamper my car

ps. drive safe, and dont race....in broad daylight

Was your dad in the car? or were you just out to lunch with him?

Very nice kill... especially if you had a passenger...

Once you stopped to talk did you find out what was under the hoods of the other cars?

etxxz

he wasnt in the car, otherwise he would'off severly overkilled my hp/weight ratio ...I weight 160

the camaro was bonestock and i didnt even ask the nissan dud, he just had a loud exhaust and a body kit that wasnt painted yet so it had the ugly yellow fiberglass look

ou sig

haha Those are real funny to look at

NYZGREATST

you have a turbo on your 99?! impressive!

jayhawk815

Sorry, but I'm callin . There is no way a '99 TL is going to keep up with either a Z28 Camaro or a 300ZX TT, unless they weren't even trying. If that's the case, why bother posting it?

ou sig

he has just about every engine mod possible...so I wouldnt doubt it

etxxz

bro, the camaro and i had a very = fight...but the 300zx became roadkill...he not only got a headstart on both of us, but god passed by the time the camaro and i picked up 50mph...my advantage there was the takeoff vs the camaro's...notice what i said from when we raced from a roll

not bs...it just happened like 4hours ago...and trust me, i'm a moderate person so its this is almost 100% how the event actually happened

i'ma look up stats for the TT

etxxz

ok...then it coul've never been a TT...but it had the genuine "twin turbo" emblem on the rear.

300zx turbo:
1995 0-60: 5.5!
1993 0-60: 6.5

300zx: 1995 0-60 7.1s
300zx 2+2 1991 0-60: 7.5

that explains a lot...still i could've beaten that camaro from a roll if we'da taken off at the same time....notice how when i took the start the first time i got distance on him.

etxxz:

What performance mods do you have? I'm curious and surprised that you were able to hang with a Camaro. I tangled with one in the fall of last year, and he chewed me up and spat me out. Granted the Camaro I bumped into was probably heavily modded (it looked like he had racing slicks, lowered, loud growl when he floored it), but the Camaros are no slouches. You most likely raced a V6 Camaro.

jayhawk815

Agreed. I don't care what mods you have(outside of being SC'd), you won't be able to hang with any '93+ Z28 Camaro.

etxxz

the v6 camaro would've been lots slower...estimating it was a '94 z28 camaro, its stats and 1/4mi times combined with his shitty launch fall in place with what happened

1999camaro v6. 0-60 7.7s
1993camaro v6 0-60: 9.0s


here's my sig:

patrick

The Camaro's crappy launch (and crappy driver) would explain why you were able to hang with it...but on any given day, a stock V8 Camaro will spank us (TL-P with mods) on a consistent basis. Your experience (while excellent) is not the norm. 99.9% of us TL-P would get taken to the cleaners if we tangled with a V8 Camaro.

Normally this would be moved to "Car Talk" but we don't have the ability yet to move across platforms. Next time post in Car Talk in O/T. So this thread is
