Default AP1 vs. Z33 roadster

6:15 in the morning and im on my way to work....what do i come across.... a 350Z with the top down also. sweet. another crazy **** like me



he sees me and starts driving kinda spiritedly so i play along and get in front of him. so we get stopped and i nail it when it goes green. run it up to about 100 and put about 2.5 cars on him. ok....so hes not driving so fast around me anymore so now we get to the main highway with 2 lanes.....he wants to go again. ok....im game. find 3rd at about 65 and he nails it. i run out 3rd and slowly inch up on him. hit 4th and my pull slows slightly but im still in front. finally....as 4th runs out i have about half a car on him and he lets off. we slow down and i try to look over but he wont even look at me. hes just sitting there with a death-grip on the wheel.



poor guy.



it was an auto. not a 6 speed.

hahaha. good run, auto convert z33. the slowest of the family. you know with the top up you would have "walked" away from him. maybe you'll see him when you get off work! ha! take it easy bro.


p.s love your GTO(3000GT) too! sounds like its ungodly fast!

from a roll the weight is less of a burden. WHP has more of an effect on accel from a roll.


from a stop weight is everything.

Think 5.2 0-60 to 5.8 0-60 for the vert. .6 second difference in quarter mile too. 13.7 to like 14.3
