Fortunately the conditions suited the Z. If the 911 and ZO6 had a chance to stretch their legs it wouldn't be close 4 the Z. I thought I would share the experience with all of u, but I guess this is not the place 4 that

So let me get this straight...a 911 Turbo and "560 WHP" Z06 were unable to "stretch their legs" on a road-course where you, in a stock 370Z, were "mostly in 5th gear?" Riiiiiight.

I was able to get up to maybe 110mph during a short straight b4 I had to lift of the gas and brake. They complained about being unable to use their power. Apparently they were running at half throttle while I was going all out.

U r da cumeden man! I laffed tel Iz kri'd. Ware der dis trak at? (removing F & F costume and in the process regaining some grasp of the English language). I take it your 'ahemm "track" is at some undisclosed location, yes? And the cost of entry to this event was "without charge"? Otherwise if I got it wrong, let's have a track name so we can all revel in the skill with which you ran "mostly in 5th gear with some downshifts to 4th and 3rd."

Given that performance it's no wonder you feel the Z didn't have enough power. Most people use the gears the other way round for power reasons, and say, e.g., "I never got out of 3rd or 4th, esp. on such-n-such a tight "track".

BTW, how do you figure you and an S4 "in the same class"? Are you talking about High School

KingDavid · 08-17-2009, 08:49 AM

I think I know of what "track" he speaks of...Lol.

Ginga, were you doing street runs on the highway?

Snakebite202 · 08-17-2009, 09:27 AM

Since we don't have a bs flag...this one will have to do.

B1nks · 08-17-2009, 09:39 AM

The 370z has some long *** gears bro. I'm with them on the "this doesn't make any sense" bandwagon. For the 370z to be able to get that high of a gear with them being as long as they are and the other cars not being able to just doesn't make any sense.

Typical internet forum hyperbole guys, we can all move along. There's nothing to see here.

Street runs? Highway? That would be illegal. *wink wink* and this forum does not condone street racing, and neither do I. I don't bs. If I said it that's actually how it happen. Don't worry this is my last post on the limits I was able to take the 370. I don't wanna speak in hyperbole. Aholes. No disrespect. I see u don't appreciate these discussions.

wow. he's still going... give up son, get a new screen name and avi

ConchZ2 · 08-17-2009, 10:38 AM

I believe this is another “Troll Monkey” story!

GingaBreadMan · 08-17-2009, 10:47 AM

Lol. U win lol

Well lets say that the drivers of the other vehicles sucked and Ginga can actually drive and he didn't throw in the fact that he was in 5th and "Going all out" it would have maybe been believable. For the simple fact of the 370z vs GT-R video that is posted on this forum driven by editor from Car and Driver and a Race car driver. On that track GT-R didnt beat the Z by much and they commented that the GT-R couldnt take advantage of its power.

With all the other stuff in there its either a close to accurate story with "Hype" added. Or its completely made up.

Muscle cars have to be included. That Grand National is making 600hp.

Go drive an e39 m5 and tell me it's not a sports car. Or that it's not one of the best cars ever built.
