G37 sedan and a G35 sedan and modded S2000 against the green demon

recently my flex pipe started leaking so my car sounds like a civic with no muffler.

apparently this means i want to race everyone.

G37

im leaving work and getting ready to hit some twisty back road when i g37 sedan pulls up to me at the light. light turns green and we pull off slowly, as soon as my car starts making a bit more noise he floors it.

I can hear his engine revving up at his auto starts hunting for gears.

then i gunned it, we were even all the way through first gear, i chirped second because i shifted too soon (i dont have guages so i couldnt tell what rpm i was at) he pulled a bumper and then i pull a door on him when i gain traction.

turn coming up and so is third gear, we are doing about 70 through the turn and i keep pulling away and we shut it down when the turn ends. he gives me a thumbs up and turns right.

G35

night time around 830 ish

heading to my girls house and im in the slow lane coasting up to a guy in a silver G35 sedan (looks like the older one with the ugly tails).

i look over because the dude has this bright ass cell phone and he is texting. i dont think he could see me because my tint is pretty dark. i keep driving and i get ahead of him.

he then speeds up and drives next to me and keeps going ahead of me.

the light in front of us turns red and he jumps on his brakes.

i downshift through the gears because ive been practicing my technique. im in second gear and about to stop when the light turns green and he floors it. (this one was an autotragic as well)

i heard him floor and it and threw it in 1st gear and launched the ever living shit out of my car, caught up to him and shifted into 2nd (broke loose again ) and pulled about 2 cars on him by the end of second gear.

threw the dueces out the sunroof and made my right into my girls neighborhood.

S2k
heading out of my GFs neighborhood making a right with a green light when i see a black S2000 to my left waiting on the red light to change. i wanted to see how i could stack up against a modded S2k, this one had an exhaust, drop, tint, hard top, HID's, with what looked to be knock-off meisters and a girlfriend in the passenger seat.

im cruising realll slow waiting on the S2k to catch up and when he drives by me he downshifts and his exhaust is pretty fucking loud. (made me jump cuz i wasnt expecting that)

now keep in mind i have a huge exhaust leak so i downshift real high and its wayyy louder

he pulls off and i let him go because we werent in a good spot to run. i catch up to him later down the road and we both downshifted (he was in front of me, im guessing he downed into 2nd from the way it jerked his car) i stayed right on his ass at half throttle and floored it and went around him.

this car was so slow guys, i actually thought he wasnt racing because of how effortlessly i passed him. but sure as hell he was trying because i could hear his engine yelling when i passed him.

3 kills in one weekend.

no. type-s from a 2nd gen. if i was going to get a 3.5 engine it would be using the odysee internals because the 3g heads have a cast manifold and its restrictive as fuck.

i woud do ody crank
RL pistons
and 3g TL-s cams

Nice kills. The G37 is fast, but not as fast as I originally thought. I beat them too and I put down maybe 235whp (estimate). You are making some nice power, good kills.

The 6MT coupe will get you but not the 7AT.

7AT are quicker than the 6MT. The 7AT in the 370Z is a lot quicker than the 6MT. I believe Road & Track just posted a 13.2@106mph in a 370Z 7AT. The 6MT are only getting 13.5s.

I'd still rather have the 6MT.

G37's are too heavy. The VQ37 is much better suited in the 370z and +1 on the 7AT the current record for the 370z is 12.8 @110 with simple bolt ons and stock wheels/tires.

Phee . . you've been a busy guy getting 3 runs in that close together.

Are you still running OEM motor mounts or are they poly filled?

Hmm I always thought the 6MT G37 was faster. In a Youtube video it pulls like a BEAST.

Phee, how did you manage to pull on a 370z after he got the jump??

i have no idea sonnick. i was catching up to him though. he was only half a car ahead. and he had been accelerating way before i was (he passed me at speed while i was cruising, saw him coming up and downshifted into 3rd to grab him)

my car is real weird because of its fuel condition. it makes good power for light mods im putting down what most ppl put down with heavy mods

I am wondering what fuel condition is it that makes your car pumping out that much of power.

BTW, what do you mean by you don't have gauges? If your gauges not actually working (assuming) how the hell do you know when to shift?

my guages shorted out a while ago and all the lights stopped working. last week the needles stopped working. so im guage-less.

i just know when to shift. i can feel it. and i know that i shifted a bit earlier in all these races
