burning smell.

I could always be wrong but I'm 93% sure, just like my octane ha...

With all due respect, don't rule out the possibility of driver error. You don't typically beat on the car, so with your adrenaline pumping you may have made a mistake.

Also, don't mess with bikes, #1 they have no protective shell around them if you or they screw up, and #2 you stand no chance against even a 600cc bike.

good point about no protection. i know i wont beat a bike.. was just going to have fun.. i like driving anyway, not taking off 0-60.. its about the corners!! thats why i take it to the canyon.

This.

I have a CBR600RR and a Nismo and, while I love my Z, the rate of acceleration is not even close. Depending on which publication you believe, the 0-60 time for that bike is anywhere from high 2s to low 3s... even a second longer and it'd still handily embarrass most cars.

I know all this. I have had bikes too. My friends have bike. Its not even in the same category.. The guy was smiling and waving me on and I just thought it would be fun. I already know i was going to lose.. but its still fun. Now after what the other guy said about safety for the biker, i wont do it again. If he fell and I hit him, im done!! Not worth it. I have respect for all bikers and always move out of their way.

the transmission in the Z is fantittyfuckintastic but the clutch is a flaming piece of ****. I remember glazing my 09 clutch after about 5 passes up the 1/4 mile driving it like you would expect a 45k car to. since then I quickly learned what you can and cant do without repercussion with this car. prepare yourself, plenty of other parts they cheaped out on.... cough cough slave cylinder.....
