350Z vs. Me
Empty road for 2-3 miles. No cars, dry streets, nice weather... decided to go do some spirited driving along my common stretch of road.
Dead stop. Pulls up is a black 350Z, nice black wheels with polished lip, sounded pretty nice too. Talked a bit at the light. We agree on the light. Light turns green.
Spin the tires through first (so does he), 2nd he jumps 1/4 or 1/2 car length in front of me, BUT as soon as I hit 3rd I was gone. Took him by 3-4 car lengths by the time I hit 120-130.
We stopped and pulled over and talked awhile was pretty nice.

nice kill
I have raced a couple of 350Z's and I have to say that they are highly overrated when it comes to their speed. I thought that their cars were really fast but I was dead wrong. I have raced a few 350Z's 6 speeds and i have beat them pretty bad. G35's are even easier - almost a joke when it comes to our VTECH and 3rd gear. I dont know what it is about our 3rd gear but it is like instant nitrous when you have an intake - headers and cat back exhaust.

hey all out
YOu have a TL-S, I have a 6 speed CL-S - that is already a big difference and a big advantage - so its not fair for you to compared your automatic to my 6 speed when racing a 350Z - ask anybody on the forum - it is considerably a faster and much different car - i can really take advantage of my rpm's when you can't.

and a 6mt 350Z is a few tenths faster 0-60 and in the 1/4 mile than a 6mt cl-s. fact

Bad driver? Don't know, but he seemed like at best, one who knew what he was doing.

Don't get so emotional on us. I was just making a general comment on the power of the 350Z. For every 350Z that you beat, there's probably a like amount that will walk your ass. We aren't even talking about trying to follow one around the track either. You only have I/H/E and there are a lot more toys out there that you haven't experienced yet. You act like nobody else has driven a 6MT and knows the potential. In addition, there are plenty of autos on this site that will walk you also so don't think "taking advantage of your rpm's" is a cure all.Sorry for the
Dustin.

I've read here on this forum. Instant nitrous??? Gee, all of the Honda's I've been must have been broken, cuz vtec never felt like "nitrous" to me... (oh yeah, remember, it's vtec, as in variable timing engine control, not vtech)

Get a life
Yea allout you the man. Please you don't know what you are talking about. Get a life - please tl automatic please walk on me no way. Yea your a 44 year old loser that spends all of your hard earned money on car toys that 18 year olds spend money on. Whats the matter? Was the Acura the only car that you could afford. You probably saved all your money on your car. Why don't you go out and get a Mercedes? I'm 24 years old and I bet that I make more money than you. At least by the time I get to your age old man, I'll be driving a Mercedes while you'll be lying in a hole somewhere. Don't drive too fast old man - you might get a heart attack. Peace loser

Allout speaks from experience and so do i. your talk of pulling so easily on 350Z's and G35's is utter bullshit. your car runs no better than mid to low 14's w/ your mods. that's the same as the Z & G do stock.
and if you missed my earlier post, i already said that Allout no longer has a TL-S. he has a supercharged CL-S 6mt that would walk your ass.
