On my way to work this morning i raced an ls1 camaro (maybe and lt1 i forgot to ask) his was bone stock and so is my Z. I knew i was gonna lose and i told him that but i did it for fun anyways I kept with him for a little (just past the intersection hah) then he started to pull hard. At the next light we talked a little bit. I think he was a local high school kid. Anyway the point of the story. I paid twice as much for my car and i got beat by an asian kid in a muscle car (which was kinda ironic, no offense to anyone i just kinda thought it was funny cause i drive a Z and im really damn white) I feel bad cause i hate losing and i didnt wanna give him the line "i'll take you on the track/twisty. Why oh why do i torture myself.

 

Was most likely an Ls1. You would have been able to stick with a stock Lt1. Lt1s run low 14 sec. 1/4s. Ls1s run low 13 sec. 1/4s. I've had both.

 

Good death... get some mods and try him again.

 

I have ingen cold air intake and borla true dual exhaust and i beat ls1's by at least a car length from like 20 to 100 no problem

 

perhaps im just worthless then

 

its the ocean in the locomotion lol

 

Do you need another bunny sir?

 

So you're saying your Z runs low high 12's - very low 13's?

 

What does twice as much mean? An F-body with an LS1 was around $30K new...same as the Z. To be honest with you, people who don't track their car shouldn't be allowed to say you can beat people "on the track/twisty". I am not a track god but a good driver in an LS1 will probably beat out an inexperienced kid in a Z with no problem.

 

1st off you can get an F body z28 a 2001 or so on average for around 17 (which is what he had a z28 not an SS). second i dont exactly track my car but i do autocross on occasion and i know my car can handle better than his. thirdly what makes you say im an inexperienced kid in a Z? youre just making assumptions.

 

You are very right. I was making an assumption. I based it on your first post. It appeared as though you were some kid. If you aren't, please forgive me. You can't compare the price of a used car to a new one. By your logic, I can get a 92 Civic Hatch for under a grand, spend $10K under the hood and smoke 99% of the cars on the road. You still go home in a Civic. There's always someone faster. As long as you are happy with what you go home in, everything is fine. I have driven $150K cars that my 91 300ZXTT would have killed. I would have traded in a second for those cars but I was always happy with what I was driving.

 

I dont know what my z runs but i know i beat that ls1 the other day and thats not the first time it happened

 

you make a good point TK and i accept your apology. Its no big deal. I am happy with my car but every now and again i regret not buying something used and making a sleeper out of it.Then I remember the pain of discpline now or the pain of regret later and i'm 100% happy with my Z. (I just hate losing to a friggin stock f-body!!! hah I gotta drive better)
