New Z kill story...

[APEXi240]

My friend just called me like 2 minutes ago (93 swapped civic hatchback). He said he was racing a GS-R (about a car length ahead of it). They pass a gunmetal Z doing 100 (Z must have been doing 70 or so). The Z gets on it, and my friend shifts into 5th...he said in no time the Z is on their asses, pulls along side them, stares at them for a second and takes off.

New Z :owned two Hondas. I know this isn't suprising...just funny. Picture two little Hondas pushing it as hard as they can, and a Z passing them with no effort.

The picture you put in my head is priceless

The picture you put in my head is priceless

agreed. Anything passing 2 Hondas is very common I would assume. I can't wait to start passing them like nothing.

sweet story, comical indeed, the new Z is so beastly *drools*

[s14=pimpin']

gunmetal Z? I'm curious to see. Wouldn't expect anything less from the Z!!

[GatorS14]

mmmmmm....gunmetal....z...mmmmmmm

[Repo Man]

Imagine if they were on a roadcourse or a nice set of twisties. The Z would REALLY own them there.

Z weighs over 3500 pounds, not to say its not capable of beating down a civic in the straights, but I am curious to see how well it will perform on a track with all that weight!

how far is indianapolis from toronto repo?

Actually the new Z weighs in at 3250, not a light weight, but definitely not 3500. My 94 2+2 weighs in at a hefty 3450, but it is still fun to drive!!

[skydragoness]

i'm surprised the car weighs that much, it looks small in person and they only come as two seaters, what a tub! It's still breathtaking in person though, i kind of question why a Z driver would even waste their time with two Hondas in a new car.

[s14=pimpin']

adrenaline and testosterone, 2 things women are lacking in (probably a good thing!) Probably nothing else even tried to challenge the car up until he saw the honduh boys on the highway. I know I'd be dying to see what the car can do if I had one. Wonder how it does on the 1/4 run?

I believe a fully equipped 350z comes in close to 3500lbs, don't quote me though, just something I read in Road & Track I believe? I actually though they said it was over 3500lbs, I was underestimating with my 3500lbs comment.

how far is indianapolis from toronto repo?

546.1 miles. Why?

[s14=pimpin']

dude, you owe me a beer buddy! No way in hell you are going to lap me bro!!!

I stand corrected, jemil's statement of 3200lbs is a closer guesstamite than my 3500lbs, my bad, not trying to give bad info. I found that quarter mile times are averaging high 13's in the Z car, quite impressive!!!

Ok, but you still didn't answer my question. I told you I would get you an O'Douls.

[APEXi240]

Road and Track got the track model to do 14.1, Car and Driver got it to do 13.9...

[02serspecv]

:thinker There is a silver touring 350 on ebay with prolly like 14-25 minutes left w/no reserve that i saw and its only at $15995:shocked

I could get a loan on that for as much as im paying on my spec.

[DAEDALUS]

Uh, the auction is (was) for the "spot in line", not the actual car. Not sure who bids $15k before reading the entire ad.

[jEzTeR]

In refrence to the heafty weight of the 350z...The fact that its set up to be so damn close to 50/50 fronnt/rear weight and with the suspension being what it is the Z is a beast on any road corse! BTW I passed wind today that would have smoked those Honda's :toilet

[APEXi240]

No I must admit my friend's Honda is kinda quick...He beats GS-Rs like its his job. I've been in the car with him to see him smoke a Prelude, GS-R, H-22 accord, DOZENS of ricers, a new Focus SVT, and yes even a couple of SE-Rs (new and old).

Well i was at work and jsut saw the price and pic of the car so i didnt really read it or nothign.

[s14=pimpin']

Ok, but you still didn't answer my question. I told you I would get you an O'Douls.

not sure what question you are referring to? If its regarding what kinda beer I'll buy you, it will probably be a Canadian Coors light, which is 4.1% alcohol, pretty close to that watered down stuff you yanks drink. If you want some real, canadian lager, then I'll buy you a Canadian. And I prefer Sleemans or Alexander Kieths, thank you!



unless you want something a little harder, Grand Marnier is my personal fave, maybe I'll get you a 1/5th of Canadian Club and see if your still standing after words. If so, then we might be able to hang!!!

LOL
