Why are 370Z's so slow

ThoriumHotdog · 10-24-2010, 02:51 PM

I doubt he drives that. He's a 2 post troll who comes here with his 'Johnny Tran' story. I bet 20 bucks he's not even over the age of 20 and still thinks the Fast and the Furious started the entire car culture.

Maybe Blue should race him in his Murcialago

I just like stirring the pot and getting reactions from fellow Z members...

All in all, i have been trying to match up with a new Z for a long time now and your guys cars are really quick! Good work!

Well if you actually read my post, he was in front of me on the on ramp... when you get on a freeway from an onramp, it opens up to more than 1 lane...

Well if you really do drive an S4,

nice car. There are a few guys here with TT or SC who would make you cry like a baby, btw.

I do have a 2001 S4. Thank you. I know my car isn't god gift to the road and i know i'm not really "that" fast. I just need bigger turbo's and the supporting mods to go with it, but that won't happen till my stock turbos go (still only have 50K on the car).

I'd love to race a TT or SC Z. I'm sure i'll lose, but it would be fun to see how my chipped S4 would do... (basically see how bad i lose)

I have a buddy in vegas with a supercharged 07 RS4.... O M F G

That car is f*cking RIDICULOUS! They had to cut the hood because it wouldn't shut with the supercharger. His car on the left... his wifes A3 on the right.

SLOWAUDI · 10-24-2010, 03:06 PM

It's in the mail!

A buddy of mine has an S4. He made the mistake of trying to work on it with a 20 dollar tool kit from Walmart. He hasn't quite lived it down yet.

I have been working on my own car for the past 5 years and i have hated every minute of it. The S4 is by far one of the most difficult cars to work on!

My 2.0T A4 is a ton easier and so it my 86 toyota PU!

Brother-in-law drives a B5 as well ('02). I'll need to ask if he's modded it or not. AFAIK, he was stock when I drove it around. Speedy, but definitely stock not as fast as a Z. Tune it a bit though - hmmm...

Definitely a nice ride - I've been egging him on to upgrading to a later model, but they're wicked expensive!

Of course, his Audi's in the shop right now...

(Hehe, don't worry - it's body work being done... engine's fine!)

Blah blah blah

ProfessorDave · 10-24-2010, 03:56 PM

Audi = 9 settings for heated seats
370Z = 2 settings

This explains everything.

So he got out accellarated by the Z and only over took him when the Z stopped accellarating at the speed limit while he was speeding in his Audi.
