i don't know what happened but last night I went to the strip with my buddies they both have rsx type-s and some guy in a 06 6mt 350z asks me if he wants to pair up he had intake and thats about it and im completely stock i told him i was auto and he thought i had work done so i should him under the hood as he showed me too when we line up from 1 to 2 i pulled on him by a car then in third he caught up to half and we stayed like that. He had a faster reaction time my et on the 1/8th was 9.69 and his was 9.81 he said he didnt mess up on any of the shifts that my car was a freak and we ran it two more times the second time he missed a gear and the third time i beat him by a car.

 

some days you never know whats going to happen

 

1/8 mile... 350Z vs G35 is all a drivers race.

The most important part of a 1/4 mile is its 1/8 mile; thats where the driver has the most impact on the outcome. After that, its all the car, assuming the person knows how to do 1 extra shift.

This is assuming 2 cars that are very similar though, like the Z & G.

Nice run!

 

im auto as well and have given a few 6mt's a run for their money... won 2 lost 2.... the J-spec auto tranny on the 05-07 is really nice

 

I couldn't believe it everyone had been telling me that a z would take me really bad I just found out one of my buddies video taped the race I'm trying to get the video now

 

haha nice to see a 5at whoop a 6mt...people with 6mt that
ive encountered are extremely arrogant...+1 for the 5at

 

Ill be posting the link to the video soon you can't see me very well I had my lights off but its shows the turn out of the race you can't miss gears with 5at's

 

Who cares what everyone says. Some will even say that G35's could take an M3. Point being, don't believe everyone.

A G35 is similar to the Z in performance, with the Z having the slight advantage due to its weight. Usually its still a drivers race, assuming they are both stock or equally modded.
But if both drivers are equally experienced, with everything else being fair, he should take you. But not by much.

Good job!

.

 

Went to the track again now after putting an aem intake ran 9.5's all night except once when I gripped good and ran a 9.3 there were a few 350z's from florida 350z club I raced some random guy there with a track 350z with intake and exhaust and he messed up pretty bad I got a 9.509 and he got 11.47 I'm gona get some better tires so I can have more 9.3 runs

 

+1, difference between the Z and the G is speeds above 80 mph.

 

nice job. 6mt does come down to driver skill....u should tell him he might need a little more practice. can't wait to see the video.

we have battles in the team of Gs vs. Zs....I did run the fastest NA VQ so now the coupe boys are coming after me

 

Longest run-on sentence thread ever.

 

i had an 03 6mt 350z heavily modded but all NA and now i have a 03 5at g35 coupe with just nismo cold air and greddy evo2 exhaust... and i think my g is way quicker. I took my z to the track and run between 8.4(1st time ever under 2.0sec in 60' 4 me) and 8.7 all day havent taken the g yet but maybe this weekend if my new rims ever get here

 

isnt the torque higher in the autos, wouldnt that help us pull away from 6mt...

ne1 in nw fl want to go to the track?

 

No.
