FB vs. 300zx Rematch + death by Lexus (moral victory)
 

So I had a rematch with the 85 na Z w/ intake and no cat the other night. I got a slight lead on the launch and a slight jump on the shift to second, pulled about a half car at the top of second, and in third I pulled away easily. The car feels so much better now with an exhaust. :bigthumb:

Then Today I was following my friend to his house and he was driving his daddy's '01 Lexus LS430. We pulled up next to each other at a light and he started revving like crazy. When the light turned green both of us took off with very little wheelspin. I couldn't believe it but I stayed right with him until third gear around 60 mph when he started to pull away. I was pretty proud of the FB. He let me drive the lexus afterwards and when I started it I couldnt even tell it had an engine in it, it was ridiculously quiet and smooth. It felt pretty quick once you wait for the 1-2 second lag for it to shift when you floor it from a roll. After basking in his frigid A/C and supple leather seats, it almost made me wish I had working A/C in my car and didn't have to sweat my balls off. It was an interesting comparison to drive the cars back to back, my car feels faster but the lexus just IS faster.

Lexus Ls430 = 290 hp 320lb/ft, 5 speed auto, about 4100 lbs, 0-60 6.6 sec, 1/4 mile 15.0 sec

nice kill :bigthumb:

good to see you got revenge on the z

yeah it's kinda funny how older cars seem faster. I guess it's that lack of sound deadener, loder exaust, stiffer susp. etc.
Kinda strange.....

Good kill.
