Hey guys,

A week ago, when I was returning to home, a 370z was behind me and tried to pass me on the left lane of the highway. He probably thought: Yeah, another ol' guy Mercedes. He got the surprise of his life when I floored it and left him on the dust.

As Sun Tzu stated:If ignorant both of your enemy and yourself, you are certain to be in peril... He got it on that night

 

Were you in the left lane or did he pass you using the left lane?

If you were in the left lane, maybe you should have moved over.

If you weren't in the left lane, maybe he just was going faster than you and wasn't trying to race at all?

 

I was in the middle lane, and he was trying to pass me on the right. And, yes, he was trying since we were doing 120 when he gave up.

 

Good kill! Nissan drivers

 

Oh, well that's not what you said originally.

 

Hope you BOTH get arrested next time

 

I will never understand why people who hate racing so much come into the kill stories section. :-/

 

Maybe you guys might want to consider looking into something like this......

The rest of us will be safer and you will probably have a lot more fun.
(BTW, most NASA regions have intro. type race track sessions for $50)

 

Thanks for the link. I do take my car to the local drag strip every month or two, but the older automatic transmissions don't really do well on road courses.

Anyway, no need wishing a fellow forum member be arrested. Very seldom is a friendly speed comparison on a public road much more likely to actually cause an accident than usual. If the drivers were attentive, and not willing to take risks, there's not much that would cause a crash that wouldn't have happened if they weren't racing. Straigh line speed on a highway is not usually what causes accidents during a race. It's speeding on surface streets, hard or blind cornering, running redlights, road conditions, weaving through traffic or combinations of the above that get most people in trouble and put innocent people at risk. I don't condone any of that crap.

 

Nice Kill! It's always nice to know which cars are faster than others, given real world driving conditions.

 

+1

I guess it is like going to an abortion clinic and protesting.

 

+2 and F*** the race haters. Stinking soccer mom SOBs.

 

try to run 370ZTT =D

 

As BENZORAMA replied in my kill story:

"It's always fun to educate the uninformed".

Or something like that.

 

he wasn't trying to race... a 370 would smoke your c amg

 

Haahaha you're silly.

Even if it could, which it wouldn't (and didn't), it still looks like a 4 year old designed it. That car looks like a factory megaricemobile mixed with some type of shark. It just LOOOKS immature.

 

im going to have to second this

 

I don't think AMG is on most Nissan drivers radar. Been bullied by a couple until I put the smack on them...to their obvious surprise.

 

nice kill! Smoked a M3 the other day

 

370Z
Horsepower 332 @ 7000 RPM Torque (lb-ft) 270 @ 5200 RPM
C55 AMG
Horsepower 362 @ 5750 RPM Torque (lb-ft) 376 @ 4000 RPM
C55 has 106 more torque ! not to mention 30 more hp.
100 torque is a big different from 0-80 mph so C55 definitely can smoke a 370Z.

 

I resemble that remark thank you very much. . .

 

You forget to mention that the C55 is also approximately 350lbs heavier than the 370z. And off of a dig, a z with a 6spd manual and good launch will even out the extra torque that the c55 has.

Won't be so much as a "smoke" victory, but the c55 will still take the lead all the way to the finish line in a drag.

 

C55 weight 3500Lbs 370Z weight 3232Lbs so the difference is about 300Lbs. Yes you are right, C55 will win but not by much.......... The 370Z looks pretty big compare to C class but weight 300 Lbs less...... I guess German car always weight more than Jap.

 

Yeah they weigh more but they look 1,000,000 times better. People who have a problem with street racers, have sticks up there butts. Real world races are far more exhilarating.

 

Nice kill! 370z drivers watch too much Fast and the Furious LOL
