i've done sow once (i was bone stock, even the tires) didnt have the transponder though.

lookie here, you may be able to "guess" and see if some of the 350z's on the list are stock. say... the one listed on there - 2006 350z with "300hp" 1:41:xx

i only have laptimes available from the willow springs, which i will be doing it again end of the month!

I did a back to back test for Sport Compact Car Magazine about a year ago. They put me in (Eagle1's car) a highley modded out built motor JWT TT'ed G35 coupe, and then had me run as fast as I can in a brand new (completely) bone stock '06 G35 coupe for a comparison. Although this was the first time that Eagle1's (Ed Reeser) car had been driven at all since its complete makeover, I did manage to run a lap of 1.25.604 around Streets of Willow's full track with the bowl. I was able to squeeze out a lap time of 1.35.7?? in the bone stock G35 coupe sport. So, there was about a 10 second difference in the two G coupes that day.

I also have alot of track time in 350Z's and I am sure, given that the Z is 200-300 lbs. lighter with a 8" shorter wheel base and always slightly faster than the G35 coupe, that a stock Z is capable of a 1.34.??? to maybe a low to mid 1.35.??? without a problem

Not sure... Is the blow pass is what deletes that last couple of kinks before the start/finishline?

If so it was with the blowpass, I average almost exactly 3 seconds slower with the kinks there... Hope that helps..

Sounds interesting...
But, nope, I have never ran this "blow by" track configuration, or counter clochwise for that matter. I am sure you would pick up about 2 seconds cutting out that sharp right hand hair-pin turn. The times I was refering to above where full track, clockwise, with the bowl.
