Uh Oh, you are going to get slapped like a b****. Make sure to take some tissue with you Honestly speaking Cunnos, I personally don't see the point of those futile races, you got a fast & nice car, the other party has got a fast(er)/pricier car ... so what...more power to him. 10 seconds later, not much would have changed in your life because you won or lost a lousy race. Good luck if you take on the challenge.

Quite fun when you're young. Now I just go Auto-X and Track, only to realize...YOU OR THE OTHER DRIVERS "WILL" **** UP YOUR CAR.

This is why a lot of Auto-X and Track cars are like beaters cars (like '1980s Honda Civics and 300zx). Honestly, just grab a Honda Civic or Mazda MX-5, practice around the race track, and murder him on the course.

I actually want a Miata track toy pretty badly. I don't want to rough up my Z on a race track.

Audi S5 vs Nissan 370Z - FastestLaps.com

The S5's torque keeps it in the race but the Z will prevail!

I'm 23, a bit on the younger side in the 370z world for sure. I've always paid for my cars on my own, which is why it's so fun to make the spoiled kids feel stupid. Usually the kids who brag about the used Audi that their parents gave them are the same posers who need to Google how much horsepower "their" car has.

i'd take an s5 over my 370z all day everyday and twice on sunday. however, i don't think s5 is better than the Z on performance. drag race is probably a wash, but z will out handle the pig on a road course.

Hey dudes just got caught up on this thread. Thanks for all the info, advice, insults, commentary, etc etc i love it! Gurneyeagle ur comment makes you sound like a very misinformed person. Read the beginning of the the thread and perhaps you will comprehend my dilemma and the "tom-foolery" here on the370z.com Choose your words and comments more carefully and leave us spoiled brats alone hahaaaaaa, cant believe that ishhhhhhh......
