But you have to remember, Z's are much heavier than S2K's, my track model weighed in at 3280 with 1/2 tank of gas(I was not in it). What exactly does an S weigh ? High 2800's ? I have dusted 3.0L NSX's, they dont pull as hard as the 3.2L's. Actually the day that I ran my car stock-there was a 3.2L NSX @ the track. I qualified ahead of him in the comp 6 class, he was running 13.8 @ 107---that is a HUGE a$$ raping for me on the highway, obviously he couldnt get his car out of the hole. I dont understand why some people get their panties in a bunch when they see their car lose to a similar car....I should have won, I have more power, and more mods.

The guy in the NSX is the worst driver ever if he ran that with a 3.2L. Stock they run near low 13's, and with a little work they can easily get near 12's. 3.0L's are in a different racing era, they don't count anymore .

That is funny. I have a lot of friends with Z's and they don't even come close. Mine is mildy modifed with the Comptech S/C pushing 315 rwhp. I have raced a twin turbo Z with 357 rwhp and I pulled away from him like the Z pulled the S in the video.
Next time pick on one that has been modified as much as yours.

A lot of you guys have huge internet cocks---telling me to pick on an S as modded as me-LMAO. I didnt race the S to see who would win, my and my friend already knew, we just raced for FUN! Some of you guys are so insecure its not even funny....this section of the S2K forum has really shocked me...I guess a lot of you are coming over from www.clubsi.com after saving up some money

You gotta remember that this time was run at 55 degrees. The Z does have an edge however, I'll readily admit that. With a few mods the Z pulls away easily. The fact that a 4 cylinder is in the same class as a 6 with 40 more hp is pretty good I think. Now slap a 6 in a honda/acura and you've got the NSX, lets see the Z keep up with that .
.Secondly, having owned a Z, it is very slightly faster than the S in a straight line. It still is a drivers race given that the better driver is in the S but given identical circumstances (and same driver) the Z will be a bit faster. Now at an autox it's quite a different story...
I for one think that in many ways the S is a better car though so there's no need to feel bad about having a car that's 2 tenth's slower on the 1/4.
The Z IMO was an uncomfortable car despite being more roomy and really did not handle that well at all regardless of what all the car mags say. The most important reason the S is a better car IMO can be seen by comparing the horror stories in the repairing forum on my350z with the tell honda section on this forum.
Although I had no major problems with my Z I had a whole bunch of small ones and I was a lucky one...

Nice race, i'm not surprised at all by the outcome 
I always give a thumbs up to Z and G35 owners when i'm on the road. Both are great cars 
. I still haven't been able to get one to race me yet though
