It was 30min ago at about 1am on a deserted stretch of road, we were at the red we reved at each other, I knew his car was FAR superior but I gunned it on the green for fun to see how bad I would loose. He began pulling forward but not as quickly as I had anticipated. Maybe he was a really bad driver but in about 80feet or so he was only about 3/4 a car lenght infront. I had to stop early because of an exit I had to get off at. Thought it was pretty intrestin after loosing to a Honda Pilot!! >>

Yeah actully those Auto350's are not as fast compared to the 5-speeds. i think i saw one run like a 14.2 at the local track.....granted still no competetion going up the 5sfe of the celica. and it's awsome mid 16's! >>

The 5spd 350Z is pretty fast, and pulls you back in your seat pretty hard. I've driven my dads once and it was pretty nice.

its not the hp of a mustang cobra, its the torque and instant response from the SC that throws you back

i like calling cars like that neck breakers

i saw an 03 cobra selling for $27k with only 7k miles or somthing like that. if only i had the money.

well.... on a short course, but i've driven an s-tuned 350Z...... it wasn't as fast as i was expecting..... and it had a lot of understeer strangely enough..... didn't feel any faster than an rsx type-s.... funner to drive, but not any faster..... (yes, the one i drove was auto.... we didn't know the 350z's were auto... otherwise i would have driven the sti instead...)

If you want torque get a newer corvette. I got a ride in one of those and ill have to say its similiar to an airplane taking off. just pulls you back as it hauls forward and thrill was amazing. also the braking in them is like instant stop. definatly want to race one of those and lose just to say i raced one >>

Well, this is just from personal experience, but, could it be that he really just didn't race, but was just driving normal?

Before my friend totaled his 350, we would line up next to each other just for the fun of it. He had a 6-speed... and basically, if I were to floor it with my ST and shifting at 5,800 rpm, I would be dead even with him.

Only problem was, he would shift around 3-3,500 rpm...

So, while I was pushing my Celi for almost everything it has, he was just driving normal and still outpacing me.

Since I was with him when he totaled it, I can tell you this... the car holds up pretty well even upside down...

ahhaha, i test drove a 350z yesterday. and ill be damned i got to 100 faster than the celi got to 50. This was up hill the first time and down hill the second time. Having that much power was just amazing.

It handles the same way as a celica, its turning, the body size, it was great. just it was rear wheel drive and the fact that it has 287 horses.
Words cannot describe the feelings i had driving that car. >> >> >>
