Dragonfly Posted November 25, 2002 Share Posted November 25, 2002 I was at the Racelegal drags on Friday night and a guy showed up in a 350Z, I managed to get the chance to run against him 4 times. There are a few things I have to sy before I post the runs: This was the first time the 350Z owner has ever drag raced and I was running my spare engine (bone stock L28).

Phantom Posted November 25, 2002 Share Posted November 25, 2002 Good thing it was only an eighth mile track. It would have been all one way in a quarter mile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsommer Posted November 25, 2002 Share Posted November 25, 2002 OMG, I imagine this guy has some new found respect for the older Z's. Haha wait till a full tilt Hybrid cleans his clock. ds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHANE Posted November 25, 2002 Share Posted November 25, 2002 WTF why did you only run half a race? cant the track afford the rest of the pavement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikelly Posted November 26, 2002 Share Posted November 26, 2002 But lets put this into perspective... DragonFly was in a mostly stock 160-170 Flywheel HP Z. The 350Z is making more than 100HP on him... Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z ya Posted November 26, 2002 Share Posted November 26, 2002 That 350z guy must have been really babying it on the shifts . My wifes 01 Stang GT auto with very few mods runs 9.10 1/8's and those cars are supposed to be very close in performance. Sweet race though.

Dragonfly Posted November 26, 2002 Author Share Posted November 26, 2002 I have to agree, he started pulling on me very hard in 3rd and would have had a clear view of my headlights by the time we passed the 1/4 mile mark. I was actualy there to practice my reaction times, now I really want to get my stroker back together so I can beat him with my car and not experiance.

Dragonfly Posted December 5, 2002 Author Share Posted December 5, 2002 That little "half a track" will be going on again this Friday night (12-6) and the guy with the 350Z said he is going to be there again. I get the feeling he will beat me this time as I know he has a place by his house were he can practice his launches. I'm not to worried about it though because he is going to grow complacent very quickly then drop a load in his pants when I get the stroker back in the car and stomp him. The only reason I am racing with my spare engine is to practice my reaction times and work on making more accurate and smoother shifts. Anyone in the San Diego area who wants to come out and play is more than welcome. Dragonfly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 240hybrid Posted December 8, 2002 Share Posted December 8, 2002 Goes to show ya that experience and nowing your vehicle can help in winning/losing a race. Your reaction times were better 3 out of 4 times than the 350Z was. Also tell ya lighter cars even though not running as much hp can still give you a run for the $ or take it all. Nice to see a 25 yr. old cars taking newest productions. keep giving them hell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
