Default 350z Vs. S2000

Well last night (before the rain) I was comming from Kinkos and going to my GF's house. The freeway on ramp in that area is tight little corkscrew. So im getting on the freeway two lane onramp and im going in on the outside lane, I like to always take this on ramp hard. When I see a pair of HID's comming behind me.
He was in my lane and switched to the inside lane and started accelerating. My first though was "You gotta be kidding me!". So I really start to go and he cant get ahead of me and falls back. (At this point I still dont know what kind of car this is).
I get on the freeway and floor it, and this guy is gunnin it also right behind me. I stop and sit at 80-84 when he pulls up next to me and its a Silver 350Z!
I have been waiting to race one for a while now. So we go at 80, I slowly start to pull away on it and get about a car and a half when I stop. We roll again from 85 (same thing) and then AGAIN from 90. Each time I walked on this 350Z.
I still have not raced on off the line nor do I know what this car had for mods, it was all done with a body kit. Good times.

Sounds about right - good run. MY buddy and I have been doing rolling starts at various speeds with my S2K and his roadster. Both are stock (as far as performance goes). When we both start at the same time I usually end up walking him and the higher the speed the more I walk him. Its more even at lower speeds - at 35-60 he usually walks me ever so slightly but I end up making it back up from 60-100
