Oh - you've been talking about actually drag racing all this time when quoting that you beat xyz 490hp Mustang or abc modified C6 vette? I thought you meant you were doing a side-by-side. Since you are drag racing, then what were your times?

So you are street racing from a stop? Stoplight-to-stoplight? Highway roll-ons?

Let's be nice and say your HR with bolt-ons makes ~300rwhp. The 420rwhp Mustang should destroy you. The "modded" C6 Vette', driven by 9 out of 10 drivers, has enough power to recover from a little wheel spin. I understand - you love your car and you want goodness from your baller exhaust, but it doesn't always happen that way.

Maybe your car is a freak, but only a before and after-mods dyno would prove that.

BTW, what have you done to shed "~200lbs"? How did you quantify it? I'm aware of the ~60# from the rear - now tell me the rest.

He's so full of s**t it isn't funny. I don't even read his posts anymore, I have him hidden. I only saw what he wrote after you called BS from his post. Then again, I don't hang here much anymore anyway, way too many like him.

everyone wants to be right on the forums but im the only one talking about real races that happened. everyone else is saying what if and maybes. i am not intrested in talking to yall anymore. if you want you can talk to the owners of the cars i raced and hear from them yourself. i dont know why i won the races but i shouldn't be yelled at for stating that i did. grow up.

i have my race shop crew that saw the mustang get beat. dont ask me why i won i just did.
and the vette cant stick for ****... it spins up until half way into 2nd.

u can say ******** to all i have said i dont care. its what happened... if you dont like it then dont comment

hey scotts300 give a an actual price on the tires u wanted to sell me. pics maybe? -thanks

one more thing... you guys r ruining the whole community that my350z.com is trying to put on here. we are all on this forum becase of one thing... the cars we drive. i would hope that when i get on the forum i would find friendly people with the same intrests.
...but no...
i say i beat some one with a mustang and immediatly im the ********er. why couldn't you say something like "he must not know how to drive"
no instead you put me down by say im ********ing you.
this whole forum is full of you guys with no respect for your fellow Z drivers.
i was in the races and won thats all i care about.
i work at the biggest race shop in texas under hennessy so i know what im talking about. ask any master tech there about the races and they will say the same thing

I'm just gonna wait a few years and get a nice used 370 for around $25K. Our 350 are dirt cheap right now, so I bet the same thing will happen to the 370.....

370z's are butt *** ugly,and took that "True Track" car feel away IMO. The interior was made for girls. Who cares if 350z's are slower, they are sexy as hell. A true classic.

Ninja Edit: Shenanigans on beating a C6 or a Cobra,proof or bounce.

Probably not considering Nissan is cutting production on them. There won't be nearly as many 370z's sold as there were 350z's which means that they will hold their value better. At this point it's still hard to say for sure but it's a good chance that the 370z will not loose value like the 350z did.
