I'm sure your 622rwhp Z would smoke my nearly stock FD in a straight line... what's your point? Most of the local Camaro drag racers would probably smoke me too. I'm sure you have a lot more money and mods in your car than I do; that proves nothing. It still doesn't get past the fact that the FD is a much better platform for a sports / race car. Anyone with any kind of common sense knows that less weight is better, and with 700 to 800 extra pounds, the Z has quite a disadvantage.
And I know that BPU stands for 'basic performance upgrade', I'm not an idiot. What I don't know is what is considered BPU on a Z or on an FD. As far as I know, BPU has only been relatively well defined for the Supra crowd.
Oh, and I don't feel like driving the 2K+ miles from Mississippi to Cali this weekend to race you, so you'll have to count me out.

Uhhh. Actually I have raced many FDs on the street and never lost a race even when I had lightly modified car. And yeah....how can I have a concept of what fast is when my daily driver makes 622rwhp? ROFL.
Either put up or shut up. Carlsbad this weekend!

I hope Mr. Belvi Bans your ***. The Rx-7 is not on the "BOTTOM" of the import scene, its at the top. When the greatest cars imported to america from japan are discussed, its ALWAYS RX-7 VS Supra. The 300ZX and VR4 3000 GT are lucky to be afterthoughts. If you bought your 300ZX to be a drag car, you bought the wrong car, as japanese cars are not designed for drag racing..... Its funny, the only catagory that the 300ZX and RX-7 are roughly equivelant in stock form are straight line acceleration. In terms of anything else (braking, lateral
Grip, slalum, auto-X, road racing, etc) the FD will RAPE a -Z-.
your screen name should be TTFP (Twin-Turbo Fat-Pig).
