Well... tonight at 2am in a clear straight of highway with no cars in sight I hit it off with a presumably stock, silver 350z with Giovanna wheels and only the driver inside. I was driving my auto sedan with stillen intake and 350z tube. I was in the middle lane and this guy was in the right lane one car ahead, his rear bumper was like a foot away from my front bumper. Doing like 60mph we both gunned it. I knew right away this was a manual gearbox when he chirped his tires going into third. We kept accelerating till I read 143mph in the dash before we let go to get of the highway. During all the run he could only gain a car and half and this was creeping extremely slowly inch by inch. Plus I was carrying a friend in the car and he was alone. I was extremely happy with how my car performed but I have to hand it to the 350z because he smoked me.

Lots of fun!

i wouldnt say that he smoked you. He barely beat you, and that is some crazy speeds to be racing at. But good race.

I would say even even, because he got his friend on his car. You driving coupe? good race

 

I was driving my sedan.

 

Don't forget, you did have the draft too. Not only do you get faster, but he gets slower as a result. Side by side, he may have pulled more.

Still, very good results for a manual vs. auto.

 

3/4 of the run I was on the lane next to him... only when my lane was getting closed did I got behind him
