Default 350Z and R32 got the smack down

well tonight was our weekly meet. my buddy dave s2oooNvegas has his car in the body shop so i picked him up. on the way to the meet a black 350 drives by we get to a light dave tells me to get it but a van is crossing the intersection as it crosses the 350 gets clear before me and gets it so i start to chase him down. with my top down my fat ass 260 and dave thats around 200 lbs we were locked to about 110 then the road narrows down to a single lane. later we get to the free way same thing he gets on it a couple seconds before me hes about three cars out front still have my top down we were locked all the way to 140 i hate driving my car with a passenger. eventually i get in front of him he got stuck in traffic or got upset cuz he lost his advantage of being in front he didnt want to line up . that wasnt the smack down im getting to that right about now. after i drop dave off at home i start heading to my house i saw a silver 350 and a blue R32 messing around ahead so i decide to catch up and play. as i roll up next to them we are doing 45 without warning i hear intakes growling so i pop it down to second as im pulling past the 350 i speedy gonzalez shift to third then to fourth. by the top of fourth they were both behind me about 1.25 cars by then they give up so i slowed. to see if they want to go again the R32 went down another street the 350 driver drove up next to me shaking hes head like no more. at a light he asked me how the hell do you shift like that? i replied want to go again he said no. so i went home with a smile on my face. now i need to give my fingers a break. my mods are the swiss 2k intake(inside joke) and invidia. oh yeah im fat.

Wait 'til the engine is warmed up. If it's within about 10 minutes of starting the engine, it gets cranky.

Nice runs man, and good kill

Now jump on vortex and post it, since the majority of them don't believe the s2k holds a candle to the R32
