Oh ok, cool.

I've had people actually say that to me before. They told me that I would not win in a race with an HR 350Z. Now I've got the time slip to prove them wrong

I just thought it was funny that people were telling me there is no way I could beat a 350Z with my 370Z. I understand that it's a drivers race, but telling me it's impossible is just ridiculous.

agreed!

I even had a guy with a DE 350Z tell me there was no way my 370Z could beat him because his was a manual and mine is an auto.

I looked at the 350 when they first came out. The big problem for me was the lack of rear visibility. It felt like I was looking through a mail slot. The 370 feels much better that way.

Otherwise, both are great cars. If you can afford it, the 370 improves on the 350.

Maybe if you miss every gear you try to hit. After racing a few 350Z's, some FI, some full bolt-on, some stock, I concluded that short of an act of God, they are just slow and nothing can be done about it without spending major money (i.e. TT or something).

Only one of them beat me, and I never figured out what he had, because he claimed bolt-ons (although I smashed full bolt-on Z's before), and the local Nissan dealership tech's said "oh, that car, yeah, it's FI", he comes in here all the time." Anyway, he edged me out by about a car and a half from a 2nd gear punch to the middle of 4th. I think the dealership was being more forthcoming than he and his tell-tale pillar-gauges were, personally.

The other Z I ran was a confirmed single-turbo setup and it seemed about equal to my stock F-body just playing around, never got a clean hit. He says he wasn't getting on it, but the screaming engine and flames that shot out the tail-pipe on his 3-4 shift say otherwise. He never managed to pull away from me playing follow the leader like that, though.

The 370Z I drove reminded me very much of my F-body in the power department once you got past 4K rpm.

It's a drag race. Unless you can't drive, car with better power to weight ratio will almost always win. Why do you guys argue over stupid things?
