Default S2000 Vs. 350z

i have another story to tell as well, but this one is first... One sunday my friend wants to go cruisin in Canton, I have an s2000 he has a 350Z. we went up and had fun and all, then we got to a stop light side by side, now i dont know if hes just a shitty driver or what but he kept agging me on to race before it went green so i was like alright F*** it so we did, and i had him by 2 car lengths. Are these cars really that slow or was he just a very shitty driver, he is only 16 and had the car for 3 months. im 17 and have had mine for a year. maybe thats the case but i thought the 350z was like a second faster even if yur a shitty driver or not he should of been able to beet me right?

I think it looks decent. Other than the fact he has 2 spoilers.

and seeing your mods, he's probably a decent driver. but you're better and modded.

it's a nice car, but I just don't like the look and it's just my taste anyway. I don't like the spoiler and the hood. I think they look too rice. I prefer the clean cut look but it's his car, he can do what ever he wants. Don't mind me, just my opinion.

The Z is not a second faster. It is a drivers race stock v. stock.

Also, I think the car looks very nice, except for the wing. Remember, the bottom line is its your car so make it look how you want.

I like it (the hood).

But aren't you guys kind of young?????

16 and 17 years old?

The Z needs time for breaking in, and they get faster in time. As the others have said, it should be a close race, but what is a race? 0-60mph or 0-120mph?

I had no hard feeling.

I was looking for the beer mug symbol but I guess this forum does not have it. Honda-tech does. Anyway. Beer on me.. hehe.

YEah, they are kinda young but I have seen some young kids drives really well (road racing not drag racing)

The S are decent in the straight line performance but no way I would call them fast. Take them to the road course and that is where they shine. Well, unless you've got boost like supercharged_S.

Aren't you guys a little young to be driving cars like this? I would have surely killed myself with that power at your age. Drive careful.
