TL vs 350z
MY friend just got an 07 Nissan 350z stock. I have an 06 TL with cold air intake, quad exhaust, type s rims, and type s body kit. I want my car to be badder and faster than my buddy's Z. Any recommendations for mod's that give me the most bang for my buck?

07-08 runs 13.1-13.3 in the quarter mile @ 105-107 MPH, as fast as an E46 M3. TL is what, 14.2 @ 99 MPH bone stock at best if it's a 6 speed?
Yeah, no, the 350z will destroy even a supercharged TL.

from a rolling start on ramp to the highway i beat a 370z and i was behind him, i caught up and passed him that is at WOT for both of us. that was before i put on the RV6 exhaust. Also my nephew has an 08 EVOX MR with exhaust, intake, and some custom piping done and again i can beat him and that was before i put on my RV6 exhaust. Now with it on............................

The 370z driver and your nephew need to learn how to drive their cars before it's even worth mentioning that you beat them.

Maybe you beat the driver, but do the math. Do you really think that a car trapping 99-101 MPH is going to beat a car that traps 105-107 MPH given equal drivers?

It may or may not be relevant, but today I was even-or-better with a G37 auto until he backed off. I don't typically succumb to street battles, but he seriously wanted to go.
. Come on guys, how can a stock or a TL with a few mod can defeat 350Z 100%.

No it won't. A TL supercharged will make enough power to put down a stock Z. Talkin' out your ass here.
See, the problem here is that you're another one of these silly bench racers.
Depending on what kind of race he does, QTR mile times mean jack shit. If he does a roll race, all your figures will hold no meaning as every car will normally pull differently from 20, 40, & 60 rolls than to how they would from a dig. A STi/Evo will run away from a TL off the line. Put them at 40 or 60 rolls, & the TL now has the advantage. QTR mile times are just bullshit figures unless you actually run a QTR mile.
To the OP, based on your mods, you probably won't get him. It will take more than exhaust (muffler back or catback?) to hold your own. I'm running J-pipe, test pipe, & catback with a 5AT, & I'll run dead even with a 350Z Nismo (which just had the Nismo exhaust that came stock & some aftermarket intakes) up to a 100 from a 40 roll. After that, his top end just keeps pulling.

Let's see if we can keep it on topic: Mods for the OP; Best bang for the buck; trying to avoid embarassment.
Bolt ons: PCDs and J Pipe.
Turbo, even better.
