Why are 370Z's so slow
 
So i just ended up racing one and it looked like it was driven by Jonny Tran. We both hop on the circular onramp. Once the onramp goes to straight freeway, we both open it up (from about a 50mph roll). Top of 3rd gear Jonny Tran was BYE-BYE:owned:! By the time i'm in 4th, 370Z was no where to be found... the new 370Z just got ate up by an old POS audi, bwahaha

Don't get me wrong, they look good (way better than the 350z), but c'mon 332hp and 270tq in a light RWD car that weights about 200lbs lighter than my AWD pig!

My Audi is basically stock with only a reflash chip and not to mention 11 years old and dated technology...

Both cars have to participate for it to be considered a race.

haha, you guys make me laugh. His car most def took off. Around the onramp to the straight away at first all i saw was a huge cloud of black smoke from his exhaust and he took off before i could, i make it to the straight away and easily took him over!

If you all drive the same car, how does it feel to lose to a basically bone stock Audi?

I just want all you "Jonny Trans" out there to konw how your **** is weak!

"a huge cloud of black smoke from his exhaust"

You mean you "raced" some poor guy who blew an oil seal? Have you no soul, man? :eek:

He was just releasing a good amount of carbon out his car...

Sorry i forgot, if you actually made power you'd know what i'm talking about. And when you actually get a Turbo or SC on your Z you will see.

So what model Audi do you drive, mate?

atx370z 10-24-2010 01:44 PM

B5 S4's can be fast as **** and even with just a simple flash, they are quick.

The OP boasting about how he beat a stock n/a 370z is just plain f*cking retarded no matter how you try and look at it.

Cell 10-24-2010 01:46 PM

Lol he released a huge black smoke? Sounded like you were behind him but won the race.

He drives a B5 S4... and those cars bone stock with just a chip are capable of running a low 13 second quarter mile.

Im not suprised he beat a stock 370z. :ugh2:

Well I agree, ATX. I mean there are fast Audis and there are slow Audis. I'd love a turn in an R8 :yum: but this guy in his 2.0T is quite the twink :drama:

SLOWAUDI 10-24-2010 01:49 PM

Ok,

I'm going to be serious, his car was pretty fast! I'm very impressed how the new Z is build and how it's just better than the other Z.

I just like stirring the pot and getting reactions from fellow Z members...

All in all, i have been trying to match up with a new Z for a long time now and your guys cars are really quick! Good work!

Well if you actually read my post, he was in front of me on the on ramp... when you get on a freeway from an onramp, it opens up to more than 1 lane...

I do have a 2.0t, you just forgot the .7 and the extra T...:tup:

ThoriumHotdog 10-24-2010 01:51 PM

I doubt he drives that. He's a 2 post troll who comes here with his 'Johnny Tran' story. I bet 20 bucks he's not even over the age of 20 and still thinks the Fast and the Furious started the entire car culture.

370Zsteve 10-24-2010 01:53 PM

Maybe Blue should race him in his Murcialago

Well if you really do drive an S4, :tiphat: nice car. There are a few guys here with TT or SC who would make you cry like a baby, btw.

I do have a 2001 S4. Thank you. I know my car isn't god gift to the road and i know i'm not really "that" fast. I just need bigger turbo's and the supporting mods to go with it, but that won't happen till my stock turbos go (still only have 50K on the car).

I'd love to race a TT or SC Z. I'm sure i'll lose, but it would be fun to see how my chipped S4 would do... (basically see how bad i lose):werd:

atx370z 10-24-2010 02:00 PM

I have a buddy in vegas with a supercharged 07 RS4.... O M F G

That car is f*cking RIDICULOUS! They had to cut the hood because it wouldn't shut with the supercharger. His car on the left... his wifes A3 on the right.

you were almost correct, i'm above 20.

So where is my $20?

SLOWAUDI 10-24-2010 02:06 PM

This is my car before i did anything to it

As it sits now, i'm on Coilovers, APR chip, piggie pipes, and Watermeth

It's in the mail!

A buddy of mine has an S4. He made the mistake of trying to work on it with a 20 dollar tool kit from Walmart. He hasn't quite lived it down yet.

I have been working on my own car for the past 5 years and i have hated every minute of it. The S4 is by far one of the most difficult cars to work on!

My 2.0T A4 is a ton easier and so it my 86 toyota PU!

optiontrader 10-24-2010 02:24 PM

Brother-in-law drives a B5 as well ('02). I'll need to ask if he's modded it or not. AFAIK, he was stock when I drove it around. Speedy, but definitely stock not as fast as a Z. Tune it a bit though - hmmm...

Definitely a nice ride - I've been egging him on to upgrading to a later model, but they're wicked expensive!

Of course, his Audi's in the shop right now... :ugh2:

(Hehe, don't worry - it's body work being done... engine's fine!)

ProfessorDave 10-24-2010 02:56 PM

Audi = 9 settings for heated seats
370Z = 2 settings

This explains everything.

So he got out accellarated by the Z and only over took him when the Z stopped accellarating at the speed limit while he was speeding in his Audi.

:iagree: :tup: sounds like the 370Z driver was mature, and doesn't street race :tiphat:

WarmAndSCSI 10-24-2010 03:17 PM

Oh Christ...

A basic bolt-on and tuned B5 S4 will BARELY walk on a stock 370Z. That potential 20-40 WHP difference - not factoring in weight - really doesn't lead to much of a "pull" from the faster car from a 50 mph roll.

Let's see how your POS Audi (the B5 was an unreliable POS, don't try to deny it - I almost bought one once) pulls against either of my slow-a$s 4 door Mitsubishis.

Ha.

I drove past a parked Ferrari F430 Scuderia this afternoon. Seeing that I so handily passed his parked vehicle, I felt compelled to go on the Ferrari forum and post how their parked cars are just so slow compared to mine when being driven.
