That being said, this 370z manual transmission is so hard to launch fast. That has been brought up here again and again and again and again if you ever do some researches... The most negative 6m driver out there on this forum has claimed he has been smoked by Toyota Camary(or the same class) in many places and weather conditions. (*cough jungleZ cough* ) So beaten by an eclipes is not too bad. LOL. Next time, try not to race with anybody on a public road. But if you have to, rev it to 5k and dump the clutch see if the eclipes can keep up with you or not. But do it at a drag strip.
Lol, hey I would not be surprised if a V6 Camry from 07 to current beat a not so good Z 6spd driver......With a 5.8 to 60 and trapping at right at 101 mph I can see this happening unfortunately to a 6spd Z driver.
