Default Why are 370Z's so slow

So i just ended up racing one and it looked like it was driven by Jonny Tran. We both hop on the circular onramp. Once the onramp goes to straight freeway, we both open it up (from about a 50mph roll). Top of 3rd gear Jonny Tran was BYE-BYE! By the time i'm in 4th, 370Z was no where to be found... the new 370Z just got ate up by an old POS audi, bwahaha

Don't get me wrong, they look good (way better than the 350z), but c'mon 332hp and 270tq in a light RWD car that weights about 200lbs lighter than my AWD pig!

My Audi is basically stock with only a reflash chip and not to mention 11 years old and dated technology...

Both cars have to participate for it to be considered a race.

haha, you guys make me laugh. His car most def took off. Around the onramp to the straight away at first all i saw was a huge cloud of black smoke from his exhaust and he took off before i could, i make it to the straight away and easily took him over!

If you all drive the same car, how does it feel to lose to a basically bone stock Audi?

I just want all you "Jonny Trans" out there to konw how your **** is weak!

"a huge cloud of black smoke from his exhaust"

He was just releasing a good amount of carbon out his car...

Sorry i forgot, if you actually made power you'd know what i'm talking about. And when you actually get a Turbo or SC on your Z you will see.

B5 S4's can be fast as **** and even with just a simple flash, they are quick.

The OP boasting about how he beat a stock n/a 370z is just plain f*cking retarded no matter how you try and look at it.

He drives a B5 S4... and those cars bone stock with just a chip are capable of running a low 13 second quarter mile.

Im not suprised he beat a stock 370z.

Well I agree, ATX. I mean there are fast Audis and there are slow Audis. I'd love a turn in an R8 but this guy in his 2.0T is quite the twink

Ok,

I'm going to be serious, his car was pretty fast! I'm very impressed how the new Z is build and how it's just better than the other Z.

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...

I do have a 2.0t, you just forgot the .7 and the extra T...
