As far as drag racing, if I get those other muscle cars I would just get lost. Being with a group of ricers, perhaps like yourself, I & my low to mid twelve second times with only a few mods can really stand out & be noticed. Why get into a group of people that know how to drive as good or better than I?????

First off, I have no problem with your decisions... I'm just wondering why if your sole purpose in life is to drag race your car, why not buy a way better platform for it. Second, I am not a ricer, lol. Third, a mustang, or Vette is not a muscle car, they are sports cars just like the Z. Ok, I think by now everybody in the entire world knows your were able to hit mid 12's with your 350z... since you kind of mention it in 90% of your posts. I just said low 13s because that is the average times for a full bolt on 370 with a good driver. Plus I think you said you wanted AT so the Nismo is completely out of the picture anyways. Good luck whatever you decide.

First, thank god I don't have to say that(my times) again

Second, I know for a fact that MANY STOCK 370 Z's turn 13 flat to low 13's without much problems. "low 13's with a full bolt on 370z with a good driver is NOT TRUE"!!!

Unless they are using only two of the four gears or maybe, most likely that has been YOUR experience.

I'm open to a 370z guy that has done some drag racing with a fully modded 370 doing only low 13's to post here!!!!

Someone please. You don't count. I already know what you can do. Now it may not be your fault, that rear spoiler you have can be a real big wind catcher

Your posts are so convoluted.. half the time I can't even articulate what the hell you are trying to say. So you are saying the average full bolt on and tuned 370z with a good driver doesn't average low 13s? What times then, 12's? And don't be talking about my wing dude. Lol, I bet if I take it off you would buy it from me when you get your 370.

I see mostly 13s here- official 1/4 mile track times

How about you just buy my low mileage Nismo when I sale it in the next couple months and we'll call it even.

I saw your link, and what I saw was PURE stock 370z's doing 12,9's/13"s & low 13's. The bolted section was from 12.2 to mid twelve. You said good drivers.

THAT'S WHY I WANT A Z !!!! Like I said, nobody would notice me if I competed with a car that has most of their drivers knowing how to drive.

With some Z drivers doing 12.2's & others doing 13.8 says a lot! I want to be part of a group that YOU belong to, drivers with a fully bolted Z's turning ONLY low 13's......

So should I expect my FULLY BOLTED Z doing 11.9's????

You also were on slicks, so it's not exactly apples to apples.

Slicks are 100% part of the bolt on rules. Others also use & tried using slicks with not good results.
Let's put into the mix that I had STOCK intakes & base stock Nissan exhaust, minus cats.

All are welcome to use any tires they want. Get slicks, please.

Tell you a little secret. First day I used my slicks, I was so unhappy that I drove around the track trying to sell them. It took me over 9 months to learn how to use them.

That is cool man, get what you would like. I love the Z and think its a great overall performance sports car. I was just throwing out the heavy hitters like the 5.0 and Vette because they have some really fast 1/4 times stock, and I know you are all about that. Buuuuuut, remember, with the Nismo having the extra 18hp, you could possibly shave off .5 sec to a regular Z's time

I know that they have 18 h.p. more. I also KNOW why they(Nismos) are NOT at the top of the list here & at the 350z forum. If you would want to know why, just ask ...
