killed one then got smoked by another
Well I was on the highway after a local car meet and on my way to where a lot of other cars usually meet up to do some racing. At first a ricer blows by in an eclipse and then the s2000 pulls up. It looked stock all the way around but just to be sure I backed off a little and I could see that it still had paper tags. I figured that he didnt want to play around......unfortunetly for him he did. He took of first, so I drop to 3rd, played catch up and started to pass him. I caught up so fast that I decided to blow off next to him(yeah I know it was mean), then I backed off the throttle a little let him catch up, blew off again and and started to pull away from him again. Anyway that was the win part of the story.
So I get to the area and of course there r a few cars going at it. I pull in and I noticed a 350z with a kit on it. I didnt really think anything of it at first. Some kid runs up to me and askes me if I wanted to run the Z. At first I was thinking no...but before I can get the words out hes like yea he just put a turbo on it(I think he said it was an spl turbo setup). Anyway I figured why not...I was thinking that I would lose because of everything he spouted off that the guy had and how well it was tuned. I figured he was pushing about 350 to 375 at the wheel. We line up he wants to run in 2nd gear starting at 40 so I said ok.
3 honks later he instantly puts about 1/2 a car on me, by third gear hes at 2 cars and holding all the way to 4th gear. Im thinking damn what the hell just happened. So I line up with him one more time. This time 1st gear and a 20 mile roll on. 3 honks again. 1st gear I hold him off, 2nd gear he shootsup ahead of me, by the end of 3rd gear hes about a car and 1/2 ahead. Talk about smoked. That is the first time Ive had so much respect for a 350Z. I can honestly say that car was built right. The guy was really cool too. I need more power.

I havent run on the 1/4 yet. We only have the 1/8 mile where I am located. A bunch of us r going to a show and go competition in alabama that has a 1/4 so ill probably test it there.

I just got some more details on the 350Z...this is what one of the guys on my local forum wrote(he also ownes a 350Z) :
"actually he should have over 400 to the wheels, im putting down 387 with my vortech sc, headers, test pipes and exhaust. the white z that you raced has APS twin turbo, test pipes and same exhaust as me, im guessing he should have around 405-415 wheel hp. APS is known for producing great numbers for our cars. "
Well at least I know it was by a much faster car.

My friend with his said that he dynoed at 265 270 at the wheels...not much tuning stock motor with a few bolt ons. We raced twice and same results...I pulled on him in 1st 2nd 3rd and 4th. I was still pulling on him right up until we shut down in 4th. So I am estimating mine to be some where around 280-300 at the wheel. Im just guessing now so dont quote me. Its been driving me crazy too so I am going to be dynoing it some time before the show and go competition in November. Ill update my mods and numbers as soon as I get everything worked out.
As for trying to get him back. Yup....I like 350Z,s but not enough for them to beat me as bad as that one did. I told him Ill be back for a rematch after I did some more upgrades....hehehehehe. Hopefully I havent bit off more than I can chew.
