Default what does it take to beat a 370Z with a 350Z

hey guys just like the title states "what does it take to beat a 370Z with a 350Z"? i have an 03 350Z with a some mods on it. exhaust, intake, test pipes, intake manifold spacer, and ECU tune. the car makes 240whp and 263 wheel torque. it gose good for what it has at the moment. i can hold off a 99 ls1 with 4l60e tans form 60-120 roll off the line he gets me every time. but there is a kid with 370z who i would like to just shut up. i know my 350z is not fast compared to some of my other cars and friends cars but it would be fun to shut up a 370z with a 350z.

the 350z will decimate all, after, you put about fifteen grand in it or more. If we have to, overnight parts from Japan.

Just install the VTEC module and you're good to go.

If the 370Z didn't have a driver.

Actually, about $15K.

I don't have a problem with 370Z's...

Nitrous is a cheap way.

To beat a stock 370z with a 350z, it is actually very easy.

First, you take your 350z, take it to a dealer and get it appraised. Now you go online and locate a 370z. Make sure you can get one at a good price after doing some research on pricing. Sell the 350z as trade-in, and then acquire a 370z.

Take that 370z home, and order a few mods like exhausts / intake. Get them installed and perhaps tuned as well.

Now invite said 370z owner you were going to race and have at it. You should come out ahead granted if you are a better driver.

Ill be honest with you man a 350z is a good bit slower then a 370z from what i have been told. But a 03 350z is even slower. I had a modded 03 and i ran a 6spd 370z and i held him down for a little while then he eventually walked me. Unless you have all the bolt ons plus a tune. And the kid must be a really bad driver it is possible but still hard. My 07 stock Z i have now is pretty quick and i think it will run with a 370z but i wont ever find out until i run into one. I suggest a 50shot or all the modds you can get and the best mods you can get. Other then that you just got to let him have his throne. Besides you cant beat them all....
