Default Z vs G35C

Ok
i was crusing around 70 mph when this blk g35c flies by. i was thinking damn.. that thing looked good. well i caught up with him and tried to give him the signal to race. His windows were so damn tinted i couldnt see crap.
So he floors it, i floor it after him. by the time i hit 100 i was about 3-4 cars ahead.
im pretty sure he had 18s on..so i think he was driving a stick. but i thought they were supposed to put up a better fight than that.
but i had fun spankin his ***!

Maybe he/she had a passenger, driver weighed 300lbs, or was transporting a huge bag of bricks in the trunk.

In any case, lots of variables -- but we're all sure its a close run, with the Z edging out the G35C due to power/weight.

Even if it's family, Nice kill!

yeah you can get the 18s with the LSD. but only the 6s come with the brembos. the 18/LSD option is only like 200 bucks. what a bargain. but if youre gonna be a monkey, might as well be a gorilla.......

Default Good story...

But I had more fun at the drag strip watching someone run a 20 second quarter mile in their lemans sunset Z... I flagged him down and he was fuming with frustration...

I ran a 14.1 in my G35C right after he went (I was behind him).

You ran a 14.1 in your 6-speed G35?
