Single FD vs 370Z
 

Just a fun Cruise with my brother in-law and buddy's 93 cobra and we found this car to play with, wasn't much of a race and he knew it so he didn't bother to line up side by side hahaha

http://videos.streetfire.net/video/R...70Z_730567.htm

Congrats! You tried to race a 370Z in traffic and almost hit another car. If you crashed your car would it be worth it just to play with a 370Z? Maybe he didn't want to line up because your both surrounded by traffic.........Fucking noobs.

^This.


Your car sounds good though.

I am an advocate for having fun in the street but seriously man, that was a bonehead move.

sorry, but i knew there was room to move around them. It might not look like it but there was plenty of room. So don't judge me and call me stupid and Sh*t when you don't know me ok. If you don't like what i posted don't comment @$$#oles.

lol chillax guys, we all done some whacky moves on the highway. It wasnt really traffic, but he did have a blind spot where you're lucky there was no car in that far right lane.

Still cool race though but its just as expected to see. Of course a single FD will beat a stock 370z but put a couple of bolt ons on that Z and you will get a better race.

Sounds good either way.

OMG You're so stewpit for that!!!

Seriously though. Like 1QWIK7 said. We've all done that, and I trust that if you say you knew you had room, you did. Nifty video.

all i'm saying is enjoy what people post up, if you don't like it don't criticize. People like them steer away members, this is a place for people to share things that they enjoy no matter how funny, nice or stupid it might be. Enjoy it don't be a D!ck about it that's all.

And yeah i saw that there was more then enough space for me on that third lane before even trying it, i know the place well that's why i made that move.

if by bolt ons you mean a turbo then yeah, dont see bpu's doing anything to help this outcome.

Uhh no i mean bolt ons.

The 3.7 engine is an amazing engine.

I didnt say the Z would destroy the FD, i said it would give him a better race, possibly sticking with him.

Just an FYI, BOLT ON 370z's can net up to 325rwhp. You dont know how much rwhp the FD had nor the condition of it at the given time, etc etc. A bolt on 370z will def give a better race than a stock one, for obvious reasons.

Here's proof.

NIce VId and all But just be careful guys. It's all fun and game until someone gets their shit hurt.

a car that weighs 500lbs more and has atleast 75rwhp less....not much of a race if you ask me.

Like I said I am an advocate of street racing, but to a point. Racing in traffic is careless, asinine, and dangerous.

uhmn who called you stupid?


plenty of room eh??? lets play the tape... Keep in mind that you did all this in 4 seconds....


https://www.rx7club.com/attachment.p...1&d=1264554392
at 0:25 when the so called having fun begins the Z is right next to a car that is signaling to change lanes/exit... and you both punch it


https://www.rx7club.com/attachment.p...1&d=1264554392
at 0:26 a SECOND later you start merging into the right lane as the driver is exiting: which is extremely smart. Occupying a lane with two vehicles on it at the same time...

https://www.rx7club.com/attachment.p...1&d=1264554392
At 0:27 you are midway into the lane and the car whose lane you invaded is still exiting (you can see the the lights light up the road)... Too fucking close...

tell us what if that driver decided not to take that exit or merge at the last minute? WTF would you do then? you have no where to go: The Z on the left and that other car on the right... BONEHEAD move. Why is that? because you are gambling on what other drivers are going to do in a split second.


oh but you aren't done yet...


https://www.rx7club.com/attachment.p...1&d=1264554392
0:28 The lane you just invaded has a van on it which happens to be traveling at much lower speed than you. Hey no problem you'll just switch lanes again...

https://www.rx7club.com/attachment.p...1&d=1264554392
0:29 you merge again. Nevermind if the van decides to switch lanes without signaling you got time to recover right? Wrong look at how fucking close you came to that van... So what if the van started to merge on you? Tell us Mr Andretti


Again that was a BONEHEAD move. Not only did you endanger the other drivers but also your friend who was filming. Congratulations you are awsome.

and all im saying is be careful.

+1 jUST use your better judgment and pick a good fight.

thanks for your concern montego, l but i was talking more about FelixIsGod29X calling people name when he doesn't even know me. Trust me i'm very careful, and since you narrated the video so well and don't even know the road so i'll take this chance to correct you.

@25sec we both bunch it, as the car merge into the middle lane
@26sec that vehicle was in the 3rd lane when i merge over and there was a car in front of me
@27sec i cut over to the 3rd lane which is about 1/2mile long exit which i know very well, and by this time the first car that switch lane is about 3 car length behind me
@28sec i passed all the car and merging back into the middle lane, which by the way isn't at the end or near the end of the exit lane. Despite what you might have seen in the video myself and my brother in-law who video it knows very well that there was a lot of room.

But all in all thanks for your concern and yes we all need to be careful.

And again FelixIsGod29X people like you should keep the $#!% talking and name calling to yourself.

I understand what you are saying but it really doesn't matter. These little runs are fairly unsafe as it is; doing runs around others and merging into their lanes makes us all look bad. You say you know the roads well but thats really no excuse. I'm sure lots of people who got into accidents knew the roads as well.

knowing the road in this case certainly helps.. however.. you cant say the same for knowing the other drivers on the road..
using an offramp to pass is just plain reckless.. and moreso when doin so at speed to prove something..

^this
even at 350 whp, where a very weak single turbo FD should be at, the FD would still walk that 370 if all else is equal. that extra 450lbs (370z tips in at about 3250) is gonna kill the 370 in a race.

nice kill OP, just remember to play it safe and enjoy having nice enough weather to drive your FD around.

shoulda been drunk when you raced him man, or at least waited till there was more traffic

Wait so its definite the FD in the video has 400rwhp??

Not much of a race if a bolt on 370Z raced the FD??

But a stock 370z is a fair race??? LMAO

Like i said, find a modded 370z and it will be a different race. FD def wont walk it.

well it has a t51r for starters and please show me where I said a stock one would be a good race??? he he he "LMAO"

Yeah if you are being completely literal then yeah bolt ons will change the race but by the way you said it made it sound like it would make it a good race but it's still gonna be an ass whooping to the point it wouldnt considered a race by me.

Turbo doesnt mean anything if you're boosting like 10psi, out of the efficiency range. Hell the owner could have had a boost leak that night, you nor I dont know.

You implied a stock one would be a good race because THIS VIDEO is about a stock 370z vs a single FD. Then i said a bolt on Z would have a better shot and even posted a dyno video of a bolt on Z making 325rwhp and you said a car that weights x amount more and has 75rwhp wouldnt be much of a race.

Then i said a stock Z would?? Meaning you're surprised to see a single FD beat a STOCK Z?? LOLOL

Get it now?


The video in original post was hardly an ass whooping. Please. An ass whooping is, that at the end of the run, all you see are 2 shiny dots indicating the Zs' headlights being FAR away. Thats an ass whooping.

This FD just beat it. Thats all. There was no ass whoop.

A bolt on Z would have a better chance and if you dont think so, comparing to a stock Z lol, something is wrong with your brain.

hahaha thanks everyone for the concern and yes i should have been more careful and not to make us RX7 owners look like a ricer hahaha, So this won't happened again in traffic ok.

And by the way yeah it wasn't much of a race, maybe a 370z with bolt ons will, but the reason why you still see the 370z's lights are simply bcuz i let go of the gas just right after passing him hahaha

380whp, 14psi@6k rpm on a bad clutch. Getting new clutch and retune soon shooting for 500whp with water/meth

Thanks for clearing some stuff up.

Yes a bolt on 370Z would be a better race. Which is what i was arguing the whole time.

I guess people just get excited that an FD beat a modern day car. Just so happens your FD was 100rwhp more than its opponent :D

He would still get smoked like nothing obviously, which was my point it still wouldnt have a chance and saying "it could be out of its efficiency or not boosting properly goes the same way for the 370 with bolt-ons. I guess to each his own, just didnt seem worth mentioning because it wouldn't have changed the outcome to the point where the z would not have gotten smoked or even had a chance and that is what my point was.

don't listen to the haters, you have a sports car, gotta have fun with it. Just be safe

You have no point really, you're posting with pure ignorance.

How is a stock Z and a Z with 325rwhp gonna get "smoked" like nothing?? Are you implying if you lose a race, no matter the HP level, its called "getting smoked"?? lol I love your usage of words lol

Like i said, if the OP raced a bolt on Z, you wont see anything getting "smoked".

^ is weight any difference?

370z is around ~3250lb
Rx7 is around ~2850lb

difference of 400lbs

nice vid, i seen crazy people race and record all by them selfs , now that stupid ( hope you had your seat belt on)lol

Sorry if my use of words are hard for you to figure out. I forgot we are typing on a forum so I will talk like a robot when responding to you. Lets look back at all I was trying to say.

The z raced a single fd and lost by a lot. You responded "if the z had bolt on's it would be a better race"

I do not see the point in posting that because the z would still lose and it would not be a close race at all. I dont know about you but when I have raced cars with less horsepower and weigh more I beat them pretty badly.

If all you were trying to say was the z does great with bolt ons, cool! I just didnt get why you were implying it would be a good race with bolt ons. Anyways I am done arguing over this, see you on the forum :).

Its not hard to figure out actually, its just placed incorrectly. And IMO, rather childish to use such words.

Why dont you see a point? What is so hard to understand from that simple statement?

If the Z had bolt ons, it would be a better race. Are you saying it wont? If so, you are just plain dumb.

Or are you assuming i said the Z would BEAT the FD if it had bolt ons? If so, then you are dumb and cant comprehend what you read. Because i did not use such words.


No you're right, i AM implying it would be a good race with bolt ons.

Its simply really. A bolt on Z would do better in a race than a stock Z. Like wtf, what idiot doesnt know that?



Jeez some people here.

hahaha ok guys just calm down, i'm just trying to share the video for you guys to see. There's no need to argue among each other here, so please just let it be.

Oh by the way sorry i also forgot to mention, carbon fiber doors, hood, trunk and fenders and plexiglass on doors and hatch . How much weigh does that save. I think about 200 pounds, what do you guys think?

Nice kill. I think those things are ugly to begin with. :P

The 370z was approx 2 car lenghts ahead, AND got the hit while the rx7 was OFF boost. The RX7 proceeds to pull all the way around and put 1.5-2 cars on it in a matter of seconds. If that isn't an asswhooping, what is it?

exactly what I was trying to say, he thinks a single would be a good race but a single turbo z would be a good race in my terms.

sorry I meant bolt on*

lol what forum have you been on? here on the kills section arguments are the norm and practically expected... Off the top of my head they have included: Srt-4's, camaros, Z06's, sti's, mustangs, 911's, Rsx's (yeah you heard right... rsx. we had aguy who was arguing that a 200 HP NA four banger was a decent match to an FD.) and now 370Z's. Honestly we have probably argued about every car that is considered sporty, and some that are not... *cough* rsx :D

Me personally, I believe that 1QWIK7 does it for entertaining purposes, as I do.

Then you have your own meaning for asswhooping then.

And you guys are still missing the fact is i said a bolt on Z would be a better race. I never said a bolt on Z would beat this single FD, nor "asswhoop" it, so please guys, remove your kotexs.

Then someone said its still gonna be an asswhooping lol

So a 325rwhp car will have the same result as a 280rwhp car? LOL

Cause thats what you guys are implying.

Exactly. I'm a devils advocate for both sides. I cant just praise only for the FD. Why should I? Because i own one??

How gay would this forum be if all we did was praise the FD like its god??

"o you beat a ferrari even though you have a 800rwhp 20B Gt42??? YOUR CAR IZZZZZ ZAAAA BEST!!!!!"

gtfo lol.

I give credit when credit is due. I am not discrediting the OP's win though.

I CLEARLY SAID, a bolt on Z would be a better race. THen people on their period said, "NO, it wont, FD would still asswhoop it". lol

Like seriously, i remember people in HS getting mad over stuff like that.

the 7 cant lose

You guys are way too stubborn sometimes. Sure the 7's a great car, but don't insult Z's.

http://vimeo.com/8948049

sg-motorsport.com < local shop made 327whp on stock head/block. Yes, thats boltons and NA. At the tracks, mind you this car is a dedicated racecar, but it runs the same times as biggered powered vettes, vipers, and fd's.

Z's are highly detuned from factory, with stupid long gearing. Put a 4.10 rear end in, haltech platinum pnp, boltons, witha serious clutch and done. BTW, that's a 350Z I posted. Nevermind the 370. It's capabilities aren't anywhere near potentialized. FD's are 17 years old, everyone knows their limits and capabilities.

PS: racing down the highway from a roll isn't racing, its button mashing (I think another forum member posted that?, its not mine, I'm quoting someone.)

FD>370z

/Thread.

Oh yeah, nice kill. :)

fd's blow....

A single z would be a better race than a bolt on z :tonque:

Man I love lurking in the kill section and arguing whenever possible oh and occasionally calling people immature too.




pot looked like it could be stirred a bit :biggrin:

interesting thread, lol, like all kills threads have become.

If I was in the 370z I woulda felt like I had just had my butt handed to me....aka, drove past and not initiated another race just like he did, lol. Plus a friend of mine who has a 91 TII with a BNR stage 1 on 10 psi beat a stock 370z, not by much tho.

A better race would be for those two cars around a track, 370z is at a loss on the straights but from what I hear they handle amazing...well, not like the FD doesn't too haha.

To the OP, good kill :nod:

Ya...I don't see a 370z doing anything to an FD around a track. Even by "modern standards" the FD is still among the best track wise. By no means outdated :P .

^^^ True, I was a passenger in one around a few curves and I was like...."my fc can't do that" lol

Well seeing as the FEED & RE-Amemiya FDs are still top contenders for time attack...they is awesome. Even FCs hold their own (at least the RE-Amemiya...lol) though not quite FD material. I believe the RE-A FD still owns the touge...beat then new MCR GT-R (R35) also...FD all the way :P. Hopefully I can get my hands on one soon...next year or 2.

I bone stock 370z taking more than a few hard laps around a track is gonna have problems, a guy on the local boards said they have oil over-heating problems and one of the first things a lot of people do is upgrade the stock oil cooler, what other car has those problems...
