Your chances of running into a tree are very high. Your chances of forming logical sentences are low.

Do yourself a favor and lock this thread.

and PS your probably gonna lose.

race him in a controlled environment and report back with the results. I'm tired of the 'my z ate a curb' threads.

If you truly are a good driver, it will be a good race. STI has the FI advantage though.

Even in a controlled environment, things can still go wrong. If you really think what you are doing is safe, think again. Its just a matter of time....

To the OP, bench racing is not acceptable here...take it to the track and find out yourself.

350z is a Decent sports car that are made to be driven hard, don't keep it in the garage and rice it out, enjoy it.

people should know better than to talk about street racing in this forum, or any forum for that matter. Its just asking to get flamed! To the OP, why do you even ask? You're gonna race him anyway. Would anyone's opinion affect your decision to race anyway? And when you come around telling us the story about how you lost, make sure you mention that you raced in a sanctioned track wearing safety gear.
