Uh, lol, in that order, I'm guessing...

- Yes, mainly due to being a good bit lighter.
- Unsure but I'd imagine so since I think they're rated around 250hp?
- Drivers race, same specs really on both cars
- Depends on the year but most likely any Z will take a stock altima
- Not sure, sounds like it weighs a lot though
- 2000-2004 you'll beat however 2005-2009 will beat you but you'll give them a decent race.
- Unsure but I'm guessing Camaro
- You'd win

i'm really surprised nobody has jumped on the OP yet for loving to street race :nono: if you're going to race, do it on the track. plus, you're talking about "beating" all these cars. do you mean you drive by them on the road and accellerate past them and they don't catch up? :rotflmao

the roads are for driving, track's for racing.

as Ranga14 said, things are different over there. I know in my country (Libya) there isnt a speed limit and the cops really have no authority over anyone and don't have guns or anything. so just say you wernt racing, you just happen to both be trying to top out your cars and it's 100% legal :rotfl but I heard the roads are REALLY dangerous in Libya now days.... not sure exactly how it is in kuwait though.

Honestly, I think your stupid for racing in the streets. :tisk: If you're so passionate about racing, then take it to the track where you'll be competing with other people in your skill level and in a controlled environment. Or is Fast and the Furious coming out with another movie called "Fast and the Furious, Arabian Nights!" and you're trying out for it... :gotme

Most "street racers" fail miserably on a real track.

Mustang driver must have been sleeping, and you're not outrunning a G35 in an A/C. Sorry.

It's not too bad. The key is to be smooth in your actions. If you're hard on the gas, and then hard on the brake, you will not get far. Don't be afraid of coasting, and focus more on getting a good line in the curves than on passing the other cars. In fact, I usually do better when I block out the other cars from my mind and only let myself see the road.

It's weird, because that's exactly what Bob Sharp said about actual racing.

He told us specifically at Lime Rock you have to coast in portions of the track, and that the #1 mistake of drivers there is not to.

That would surprise me. I'd have to hear his rationale on that. I'm no expert, but I've never heard that from a seasoned racer. Not doubting you - I've just always been taught that the fastest way around any course is either accelerating or decelerating at all times.

Yeah, those 2011's are no joke, return of the 5.0. But yeah, the 05-09 are torquey but once you hit mid range you start pulling.

He related a story where he had some drivers around Lime Rock for their first time. He told them that on a very short straight (I think it was the one right after turns 3 and 4) that they should coast. He said they gave him such a look, and he relayed the emotion: "Blasphemy!" (I'm paraphrasing; I can't remember the exact word he used, but that sums it up)

He said they ignored his advice and were always on either the accelerator or the brake, and then he made them do it his way. They came out I think it was almost a full second faster. Now, granted, it may have been something particular to the elevation shifts and the turn angles at Lime Rock (it's one of the fastest tracks in the country, despite the fact that it has almost no straights and is relatively tiny), but, in my experience with racing games and my perfectionist zeal to be a clean, fast driver in those games (and the fact that I absolutely abhor "power sliding"), the easier you go, the faster you go. Hard on the gas, of course, but only when appropriate.

Racing games aren't usually difficult for me, and I coast quite a bit. It's too easy to over-apply the brakes (especially when you don't ahve the physical feedback of being in the car).

"You feel like you're going really fast," and these are his exact words, "but you're actually going slower."
