I live in a smaller town and have had a hard time finding cars that are a close race to a 35x. I got it last month but I have already raced a Mazda RX8, Impala SS, and Grand Prix GXP and they were somewhat close but I'm trying to find another car that someone has had a close race with.

I would love to be able to race my Camaro against my Z. (but not on the street :nono: ) I really think my Z could take my Camaro. Of course I have a huge traction problem in my Camaro. Trouble is....I won't let anybody drive either of my cars. :chuckle:

All those are relatively slow other than the GXP but the GXP is heavy. Go to the track and spend the day.

Caddy CTS
Pontiac G8 (not GT or GXP...they will kill you!)
350Z
late model Camaro/Firebird (will be close, newest Camaro SS's will kill you)
mustangs (except the newest GT...that thing is a beast)
Dodge Challenger/Charger (hemi will be a close race)

Make sure to do it on the track. For reference, I had a 97 Pontiac Formula Firebird that hit 13.7 in the quarter mile with mods...You have the advantage off the line with the X, use it!

when im at the track off the line i do very well against faster cars, if they dont panic they will usually be in front bout time we get to the end of the race. I do love when they panic and miss a gear, sniped one for the G!!!

but car wise, the bmw 335 (they keep up in low to mid range, but top end the G gets them)

newer stock mustangs (not 5.0 lol)

any hemi R/T vechicle, i kept up with a 2011 srt8 charger (he killed me 0-60 though, but once i got to 4th gear i pulled on him, then i couldnt pass him)

i killed a CTS ( i think it was driver error though)

350z was a good race...

370z was a good race...

had a honda delson, i believe, almost beat me at the track... it was gutted and spinned his first two gears... i think out of three races he would win at least one.
