My 07 doesn't !!! So far it mechanicly stock (new audio & 03 Rays Track wheels though)

 

so you're saying that some people can't drive? dude, it's an auto! unless you mean the other Zs he said he beat, in which case, they may have been autos too.

either way, tell him his Dude Card is revoked for buying an auto Z. unless he only has one leg due to the fact that he joined the Army, went to war, ran across the battlefield with only a plastic spoon, stabbed 100 enemy troops to death with it and on his way back, got into a rumble with Godzilla and lost it (but still won the fight).

I would think a guy in an 07 shifting a bit too soon would lose the advantage the 07 engine has right? If yer friend is in his auto and using the manual shift mode maybe hes shifting too soon (I test drove one and the lag was a little hard to judge) and thats why yer winning. So you take away the high rev advantage he has, add on the gearing, power loss and weight advantage you have and you win.

 

no, im defending the 03-06 Z's he's raced. im saying thats possibly why they got owned.

 

that is true, i dont know why he bought an auto

 

he had it on regular drive, and just held the pedal down id assume.

i love how all the 07 driver post the same thing lol.

"he's not driving the auto correct" haha.

its pretty easy to drag race with an auto. i dont think hes stupid.

and obviously weight has to do with it, this is about the 04 track Z vs an auto 07 Z

 

all i'm saying is that the 07 hood looks like crap and anyone who likes it should lose the race by dq for their poor taste

 

ehh it doesnt look that bad in person. id obviously choose the older hood than it, but its not AS bad as i thought

 

Nissan is just trying to throw in some retro looks like all the other car companies are doing these day. The Z is so fresh a design I think they muck it up with that design on the hood. I think it shoud be raised for clearance but without changing the overall shape with one way heat extractors or something. That means fender changes as well.

 

You asked 'Does anyone know why this is?' And the 07 drivers gave their opinions, all of which seemed pretty legit to me. You say you ASSUME he held the pedal down, and you dont THINK hes stupid. I say never underestimate the stupidity of your friends.

It seems you know all the answers so enjoy your fame of beating an AT car.

 

I have a couple of friends with older 350's and I can say I have won the majority of the 1/4 mile races against them no matter the trans....It's a drivers race, even if he had a MT, that doesn't mean he would have automatically won.

 

no, it should have been no contest.. even the 04 factory freaks with pro drivers run like a 13.6-7 at BEST the NORMAL time with a good driver on the 07's is a 13.4-5... and thats COMMON the common on 03-05 is 14+.. he should have stomped you pretty easily.

 

I have weighed my 07 at the track couple times. Everytime I would weigh it in around 3390 pounds. Full interior, quarter tank of gas, spare and jack kit in the rear, and my 200pound ***.
Take me out you're seeing 3190pounds. Published numbers are always inflated.

 

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE ANSWER MY QUESTION HOW COME YOU GUYS SAY YOU CAN BE AUTO'S THEY ARE NO CHALLENGE. tHEIR ARE AUTO'S ON THE HIGHEST STOCK TIMES THAT IM SURE NON OF YOU GUYS COULD BET TAKE A LOOK.

 

HERE IS FOR ALL THE AUTO HATERZ AND THINK THAT YOU GUYS CAN DRIVE MANUALS.

FASTEST STOCK TIMES FOR 03-06 Z 1/4 MILE TIMES:
(1) Veetec --------------------------04 Base 6spd 13.640@102.42mph 1.983 60ft Verified
(2) DomZ --------------------------- 03 Tour Auto 13.667@101.57mph 1.996 60ft VerifiED

AUTO'S ARE SO MUCH SLOWER? DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE YOU TALK. ALSO THE 03 IS A TOURING MODEL SO IT IS HEAVY AS HELL.

 

well... my RSX is fasther then all your a$$'$ lol..


kiwi... has no idea why people are getting so up set about all this crap..
different cars different years, different drivers and different weather condictions along with minor/major mods, trannys.. there will always be different times set..

 

why is there so much crying about this, honestly?

a 6spd with a good driver IS faster, period. the 07s are faster than the previous cars, period. *this is based on stock cars, so save the whole "my 04 with x amount of mods can beat stock 07s" crap*

also keep in mind that the auto in the 07s limits the new engine a bit since it only revs out to 6600rpms.

i hav raced two 07's recently and i beat both as well. both were manual and all i hav is an intake. i raced the first one 2 tiems at the line and 3 times on a roll. the other i raced at the line once and twice at a 40 roll

 

I,M STILL WAITING FOR AN ANSWER TO MY ABOVE POST, SOMEONE THANKS!

As you can see if you have a very good manual driver and very good auto driver the difference is very minimal actually the race would look like a tie if you were spectating the race. The 6 speed is a little faster by very little with two good drivers as you can see above. Also consider the 6 speed was a base and the auto was a heavy *** touring model im sure he could of made the difference in time up with taking those heavy *** seats out and speaker. I would like for someone to show me some factual evidence that the 6 speed is so much faster with two very good drivers please. If you ask me the only person that should be able to talk about slow auto z should be veteec since he is the only driver that is able to beat the fastest auto z stock time.
