What's all of this "They'll walk you after 3rd", and to beat a Z you have to be a perfect driver...!???
That can be summed up by
I have two close friends with Z's, both of which post on this board... and one who does so quite frequently (3fiddyZ). We've raced dozens of times between the 3 of us... and ultimately, it is only a drivers race from 1 pt: A dig.
It took Aaron (3fiddy) approx. 4 or 5 races until he finally got me... and we are stock for stock.
off the highway... I pull about a 1/2 car per 20mph. (with both)
He has sinced added a high flow cat, and a new intake... plus a Nismo Shift Knob ( )... and now we're more even.
The biggest proof:
He attended the FreshWater Tour as well, and we all even saw the matchup on the Mustang Dyno (which is very accurate!) His hp crushed us, but only a select couple had slower 80-120 times!
But unfortunately, their are too many kids and biast idiots on this site for this topic to ever die.
Both are great cars, and both are fast and fun to drive... and ultimately it is a driver's race at all times, anywhere/anytime... but ... it's a driver's race with a C5 too... any chump can win, if the loser is a ass-clown behind the wheel!

As for a rivalry, what rivalry? Z owners don't consider an s2000 a rivalry. Most 350z owners are car enthusiasts that love their cars for what they are, an automotive icon and a great quick machine.

How is the VQ engine legendary? It hasn't been out long enough to be legendary by a long shot. It's a noob on the market, just like the F20C. Both engines have their good and bad points leading to a lot of stupid arguments.
IMHO, the original Hemi for example is legendary. The RB26DETT is legendary, considering it's much newer than the Hemi.

Considering how much easier the 350 is to drive, from what others say and how much HP and torque it is putting down it is not a fast car at all. You can make all the arguments about it's weight but that's Nissans fault not mine.
I dont hate the Z, in fact I like the looks but it's not fast enough for the numbers it has.
