The leather is nicer in the Lexus then my leather 350z seats but at least I don't have to worry about replacing the dash and door panels because the material used to make them breaks down in the FL heat.

Here's a pic of me doing just that on my 07 purchased in Miami with a melted dash and door panels.

Ya no ****, you come in here, "hey, my girlfriend has an AUTO z and it feels slow compared to my car. Are all your cars this slow?" You rag on our cars, ask about cheap mods instead of search-functioning it, (also, you sure those "dyno proven mod numbers" you posted aren't AFTER a tune?) and then you say its all because you want to race your friend and beat his s2k.

Unfortunately for you your girlfriend just bought a car with an amazing heritage, and one of the snarkiest cultures around. The group on here is here to help, until you do all of the things you did.

Rule 1 of My350z: Search before posting. (Protip, google.com search Site:my350z.com <search criteria> will get you further than the search on here)
Rule 2: Don't talk down about Zs
Rule 3: Don't compare our car to other cars. We don't care. Most of us own Z's because we love them, not because they're faster than X car.

Just go do what everybody else does. Pop charger, Plenum spacer, Pulleys, exhaust, tune. Then spray a 100 shot wet kit and **** all over the s2k in a straight line.

Cheap and 350z don't go together. Gotta pay to play!

Now that is funny. An axle-back giving power, nonetheless 7-9 hp. My full cat-back doesnt even do that, you are claiming 7-9 hp because you changed your muffler?

And for the record the Z is much faster than a s2k in a straight line, especially a HR.

If you were talking about a 250 maybe but drive a 350 one day and you'll realize that it's no girl car lol.

Now an auto Z no offense to anyone on here but girl car, pretty much same thing as an auto rustang.

I drove a 350 before. It was okay. Had decent power but I don't think Lexus' have a sporty feel.

Agreed on the auto Z lol.

1. A car's 'feel" is entirely subjective" especially when comparing to a car many of us have never driven or even ridden in.
2. No.

As far as beating an S2K - in what kind of race? On a road course especially, it could be a drivers race. On a drag strip, close call. On the street - gtfo. We don't do that here.

Am I the only person that thinks an HR Z will dust a S2K in a straight line?

I have already done it so I know the outcome but I am not sure why so many people think the S2K and HR 350Z are close in straight line performance.
