Default Evo vs 350Z

Ok, I just get on the freeway after going to Taco Bell for a late night snack. Its about a 20 min drive home so I start eating a taco before it gets all soggy Anyways I see these HID's coming up pretty quick, so im wondering what it is. I was in the slow lane on the far right (3 lane road) and there is a truck in the middle lane and instead of him going to the fast lane he gets behind me and gets on my ass. I put the taco back into the bag and speed up a bit so he can get past the truck and next to me. He pulls up and slows down next to me, I was like sweet, it was a Silver 350 and I have been wanting to run one forever.

I downshift and wait for him to go, he takes off and got about 1 car up and before I could blink I was already ahead of him. I started to pull away hard, I had maybe 5-6 cars on him, then started thinking maybe he let off, so I slow down. Once I let off he started catching up quick so I knew he was still on it. He gets next to me and slows down again. This time I leave it in 5th since we are at a pretty good speed. He floors it again and this time maybe only got 1/2 car up and I fly by him and just stayed on it, I put maybe 10 cars or so on him then let off. we take the same exit, I wave and he waves back and we go our separate ways.

I was actually a bit disappointed, i thought it would give me a better run, although it looked stock. I havent ran into any fast cars since my last upgrades, so its hard to judge how much faster the car is, although I can tell it pulls a lot harder. Anyways just thought I'd share

Nice work

I'm going 264/264 cams, ARP studs, fuel pump, TBE and custom tune after christmas all in one go. Should be a noticable difference in power-can start to put the smack down on S's, Sti's, 350z etc

What kind of question is this? If the Evo had no mods, how the heck would it sound about right? Therefore, the answer would have to be: yes, the Evo has mods. [pounding chest] Duh! [/pounding chest]

I call I've read the street encounters forum over on my350.com and from what I've read I'm pretty sure nothing short of a nitro burning funny car can outrun the 350Z.

ok dick. i said it sounds ABOUT right, i didn't say it was 100% dead-on accurate.

and last time i checked, a car that runs 13.9-14.3 (Z) would USUALLY get walked by a car that typically runs 13.1-13.6 (Evo). car lengths can get hard to judge once you get past about 4, so who knows how accurate the number was.

want to beat your chest some more?
