Default Neck and Neck

Just got in a mini-race with what appeared to be a stock 350Z (might of had an intake)...we did a roll at about 48mph, I downshifted into 4th and we were neck and neck until I slowed down for the red light up ahead. I should have went into 3rd, I probably would have taken him!

350Z must be in 5th gears the whole time.

My guess is an 03 to 05, and yea the reason I said mini race was cause we had a light that just turned red.

From what I heard he downshifted twice, so my guess was that he was in 4th as well.

57 for an experienced driver, 55 for an amateur.
