So long story short I've been badgered all winter by a younger guy driving the last year model of a auto 350z. This guy swear it has every bolt on and cams on top. With it always raining and roughly 40 degrees I have never had a chance to explore a run with this guy. Well, now it's in the 80's and sunny for some reason up here. My 5.0 has lt's, o/r xpipe, cai, and tune. Side order of a full bmr rear suspension and some mickey Thompsons. Well, after a ton of smack talk on his part anda bit on mine we ran across each other on a certain interstate really late in the day. From a 50 roll I destroyed, badly. I was quite surprised, so I figured another run was in order. 60 roll, same results, just yanked on him and walked away. Heh, here's where it gets cool. Second run had a surprise competitor. Enter one 1985 blue extremely clean and lowered Honda Crx. I was amazed at this little car, he had a all motor k24 some bolt on and a 6 speed in it. It was completely stock looking and....had the stock si exhaust. Quiet, and very fast. As in I only had 2 maybe 2 1/2 car lengths on him at 115 with a slight pull in my favor. My question is about the 350z, I know they aren't considered fast compared to our 5.0s stock for stock, but what does a fbo 350z actually do? Seemed pretty weak to be honest. Is boost the only way to truly make one fast? Stopped to talk to the 20 year old with the crx, really cool kid. Did most of the fab and wiring himself. Said he was able to take down a 2013 camaro ss the week before and wanted to try a 5.0. I believe him. Damn nice car really clean and quite the sleeper. He wants to go turbo or nitrous after he gets his traction setup for it. I certainly wouldn't want to run it with even 8 pounds going through that go kart! I apologize about the wall of text, posting from my phone 1 handed as my 5 month old fights be for all forms of electronic superiority! Lol
