lol yeah it shouldn't be much of a brawl as a beat down considering you have a supercharged 6 over his n/a...just get that launch down and you'll be smoking him every way (except maybe at like an auto-x lol)

Just ease into the throttle from stand still. That, or get better traction tires on the rear... I enjoyed taking my c32, and 350z out. 350z really didnt stand a chance though. Mine also has CAI, and full exhaust.

A basic blower setup on the 350z puts it around 450HP, and turbo will get it well beyond that. Watch out for the modified ones!

He's in Ft. Meyers.....our cars suffer a lot in the heat. Race that Z when the temp is in the low 40s/upper 30s, and it's going to be a much bigger margin.

Yeah its kinda a waste of gas on a NA 350. The turbos are something worry about. I've seen turbo 350's putting down 400whp on stock internals. How long they lasted, i dont know..lol.

yeah the heat down here is intense sometimes, i think the temp was like 74F that night, and yes when its cold its a big difference. it was 48F and didnt get up past 60 so far. its a big relief for us down here

not to the wheels. without a built cosworth motor, even the turbo ones are doable. prior to my headers, i was dead even with a turbo'd G35 sedan built by dynocomp. it was a beast.

yah....agreed. not worth the gas with the n/a. 400whp i guess depends on the dyno. i definitely believe it on a dynojet....on a dynodynamics or mustang? thats pushing it.

kabooom. believe it...and have seen it. in fact, that g35 sedan i just mentioned blew his motor. forgot what exactly happened, but i know the guy was being an idiot. i think he was on 6 psi. MAYBE 7. maybe.

from a dig. left foot on brake. right foot on gas...rev up to about 1500...and then feather it through first as you release the brake. it took me a while to get my launches down....do some practicing and you'll get it down. nice kill btw!
