370z vs S5

Cunnos · 08-17-2011, 03:58 PM

My buddy wants to bring me to his track and give it a go between his 2010 S5 and my 370z. He got his S5 a few weeks ago and has been bragging to all of our friends about "how great of a car it is" and such and such. So now he has stepped up the trash talk and pretty much bad mouthed my car saying it stands no chance against his car, straight line or a few laps around the track. Normally, I wouldn't care about any of this stuff, but since he is a total D bag and I'm pretty sure his dad bought his car for him, I am considering accepting the challenge and meeting him at this track. So I wanted to find out from anyone here whether or not I stand a shot or perhaps someone has been in a similar situation at a track against an S5? I'm running nothing but my stock 40th anniversary and he has a stock S5. I checked online and the S5 is pushing 354hp however its a bit heavy at like 3850 pounds. So hopefully i have a chance........i really hate this kid so I appreciate any advice. Thanks

With AWD, he ought to launch faster. In dry conditions, you ought to be able to take a corner faster.

In the disastrous 2011 C&D Lightning Lap, the Nismo 370Z was 3 seconds faster than the Audi S5.

Stock S5 runs about a 13.3 in the 1/4 mile so it is whoever drivers better.

depends on who crashes first

When does the fall session for kindergarten start in Massachusetts? This thread reads like a couple of spoiled brats with way too much time on their hands.

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.

Wow Sparky - you really put me in my place with that comeback.

Dilemma? That comment alone proved my point. Please continue to do so, it's quite amusing.

When you do respond, remember this - paragraphs can be your friend. A Spellcheck wouldn't hurt either.

Carry on young Jedi.

Keep calm and enjoy the challenge, it will come down to skills at the track

If he is a 'total D-bag', then why is he still your buddy?
It's probably a driver's race. Who's the better driver between you two?

Well he is sort of a buddy, knew him from back in the day and then he landed himself a nice lil trust fund and now thinks he's the next David Hasselhoff. Anyways if it comes down to driver skill then I should win but we will see. He has HP on me but I have less weight and maybe more skill. I think he will beat me off the line due to the AWD, but i should catch up and beat him in the corners. For some reason im having flashbacks from the movie "days of the thunder" when cole trickle fakes going right and takes the guy on the inside and wins the race!!!!!!

I'm guessing that he's that guy in the group than no one like yet no one want to tell him to **** off. As for the race I say if you have skill you should be able to take him on the track and for additional weight savings take out your spare kit which is like 40 lb and seat belts which adds 15 hp
