I know but that's not what he said. Besides, I am just picking.

Kinda figured...my favorite debate is crotch rocket vs. car anyway. Even though I don't currently have one, I always look for a way to toss it out. A buddy of mine with a Cobra thought he could outrun me on my ZX-9R a couple years ago...cute.

this is wat i would do... hear him rev once or twice... if you hear the sound of belt whining or the sound of the blowoff, then your chances are 50/50. even with NOS, most likely he will just spin his tires and you can wave goodbye in the rear view mirror. take 350z, reduce power abit, add weight, and softer suspension and theres the g35 coupe... its not very impressive sports car (even though i love it).

Pahaha, go race an Elise with a 230 whp honda engine in your 500 awhp Evo, then come back and let me know how it goes... you sound like a certain bunch of morons who got stomped in the S2k back in high school... dumbass mustang drivers

I see you have pilar gauges. That should add 20whp to your car go for it. (lol) What you should do tell him you will race him for double of the intended amount, and you will give him two cars head start. I bet you he backs down. It works most of the tyme trust me.

If you dont screw the launch up you'll beat him. If he does have nitrous or a turbo, your sh*t outta luck

If you can drive, he will NOT beat you without forced induction. Bolt ons do very little for the VQ35.

Even if he does have nitrous, he needs to know how to use it and how to drive with it, otherwise he'll sit there and spin the tires. And he's heavier. You still might be able to beat him.

TT, you still might have him in the quarter mile if he's not on sticky tires. TT Z's and G35s tend not to put down quick ET's, but rather high trap speeds. Im positive you'll have him off the launch, but you'll have to drive perfectly to stay ahead of him.

I say you go run your car and see what you can do, practice and whatnot. You should be able to take him, how much you racing for?

FI VQ's pull harder than freight trains when they hook up, but at that point they're playing catchup

I don't know man......I heard an injen license plate bracket can add about 20 whp and can make the driver shift faster......so on the straight you might lose out.....if i were u I'd fold.

Haha, thats hilarious.....ans watchout for those type-r and type-s stickers that add another 10 HP......j/k....these polls r kinda pointless.....just go out and race him, thats the only way you'll know. Guys who r cocky like that usually lose anyways.....haven't u seen the movies?
