So im on my lunch break today, on my way back to work. to get to work i have to take a street called Airport Road, which used to be where organized street races were held, like 5 years ago. Why? its about 2 miles long, relatively straight, on the outer edge of town, but still in it, and it has a median the entire length of the road.
Anywhoo, i take a right onto Airport Road and a clean, stock-looking 350z pops up in my rearview, comming up on me pretty fast. Hmm....
so im goin like 30 mph and he rolls up beside me. i look at him, wave, keep it in 3rd, and floor it. he jumped me a lil bit but i quickly passed him and didnt look back until i finished 3rd. hes a good 3 cars behind me, but i go ahead and slam 4th anyway. by the time i look at my speedo, im goin 120. i didnt even think i was going that fast... so i throw it in neutral and coast the next half mile or so until my turn comes up. he passes me as im turning and smiles and waves.

Classy, 350 guy. Very respectable. Good job.
:eek:ccasion14:

well stock 350z run like 14.3, so with a cobra with headers exhaust and prolly intake, id say it should beat it, i mean his car prolly has 13.6s in it or so depending on other mods

I could see it being a good race but starting out in 3rd gear at 30 and pulling 3 cars in one gear I am not so sure of.

didnt notice that. 3rd at 30 for me is low in mine to start a run, and i have 4.1s. id assume ud need to start in second, cuz i dont see a 350z rolling up for a run and just speeding up slo. but winning i can see with his car, but not really starting out in third at 30

I believe it. With gears the cobra would rape the 350 from a roll. Just too much torque on the cobra's end. Screw the power to weight ratio because the 350 isn't too far off the mustang. I ran within a car length of a full bolt on 350z with my H22 powered 97 Prelude. Prelude had a jdm H22 block and head, intake, header, exhaust, test pipe. Unless the 350 is highly modded it won't hold up. Torque wins races folks.

^exactly! i wrote this cuz it was nice for someone to take it and kind of congradulate me on a nice win rather than the usual one finger salute and excuses
yall are talkin bout bolt ons, but im pretty sure it was bone stock. didnt even have an exhaust
also 3rd gear @ 30mph is about 2k rpm

i believe u can beat him i really do, but at 3rd gear at 30. come on. i have a built and blown cobra with cams and 4.1 gears and i bet a civic ex could beat me under 3500. lol. but like most that dont believe is that u stayed in third to start the run. i just dont see u winning like that. cobras will move out but we are far from low end powerhouses which makes starting a race vs a car that would be close regardless, down low just makes no sense and u pulling lengths too.

yeah, me and my dad were playing with this turbo'd honda accord and it was actually pretty fast, at a stoplight I gave him a thumbs up and said "nice car, seems pretty fast!"... he replied by putting on his sunglasses and completely ignored me... My dad replied by making his ass listen to a kenne bell whine, and then a nice borla exhaust...

Thankyou. I agree torque wins races but there would have been a lack of it in 3rd at 30. I too agree that it would have been a good race but not under those conditions unless he was a moron and starting off in 3rd at 30mph.
