This guy and me were even untill about 80, then I ran away from him. I dont know if 350s cant handle high speed runs or if he just didnt have the balls. In either case I saw his car in a parking lot later and couldn't resist taking a few pics. What you cant see is that his plates say BMW ETR.

Wow..... I can't see ANYTHING!

If anything, you should have pulled him to 80, then he should've slowly walked you as the speeds increase. 350Z cars really pull hard from 4th gear on...harder than an E36 M3.

Nice run...

BTW, "BMW ETR", please, I used to WORK modded 350Z's with my modded 95 M3. No matter where we started, I would walk them hard. Some of these owners, seriously, need a reality check.

what he said :lol

Why the hell would you have a plate that says 350 WHAT? And why the heck would he have a plate that says BMW ETR. Pretty dumb, are these cars the epitome of street racing nowadays or something?

Why the hell would you have a plate that says 350 WHAT? And why the heck would he have a plate that says BMW ETR. Pretty dumb, are these cars the epitome of street racing nowadays or something?I wonder if the 350 WHAT? was more towards a 350 V8 rather than a 350Z. That would be my assumption.

Well the guy owns a 95 M3, so i'm hoping that he is talking trash on the Z and not an LS1.

I actually dont have that plate anymore. I replaced it as soon as I got pulled over by a Caprice cruiser. I just put it on for the photo

Wow..... I can't see ANYTHING!


hey slick, there were two cars parked next to each other. someday we would do this after our little race but only after you read my plate :evil2

shit, an v8 350z sound pretty intense.... maybe like 350z type R or or something ;)

I always wanted a plate to show my hatred for a 350z, but what ever plate idea I could come up with, would somehow make it look like I hate my own car.

Most 350 owners have a skewed perception of the speed of their chosen ride as compared to other "fast" cars. My theory on this is that for most 350 owners, this is their first "fast" car. You remember when you were 17 and got to go on a quick blast in Uncle Al's '88 Trans Am 350 TPI car, it felt like God Own Chariot compared to your 79 Volvo wagon. Enter your average 350 Z guy, got a few years of the career under the belt, money's looking pretty good, not Corvette Good, but certainly 350Z Good. Oh yeah buddy, outa the 1994 4 cyl Accord college beater and into a 350Z, Gods Own Chariot again. Mind you, our boy genius has yet to set-ass in a fast car and all of a sudden here he is in something approaching a fast car, and he can beat anything on the road. And his 350 looks SO MUCH better than your _______ he cant POSSIBLY loose to you. All these guys just think they bought 996 TT Porsches, when in reality, they are closer to a Nissan Muriano. I feel it my civic responsibility to put them in their place at any opportunity. And boy do I. :evil2

I can't wait for my neighbor's nephew to challenge me...you guys remember him? I think I mentioned it in one of the recent threads.

He told my neighbor, "he doesn't want any" (as in me).




:lol

I seen this car just a few weeks ago!!! He comes up next to me in heavy traffic on 71 south and starts the rev, rev, rev thing!!! I guess he had something to prove to the old e30 :confused
NICE KILL MAN!!!

if i owned a Z06 and he said that to me i would of been rolling on the ground laughing my ass off for 30 minutes

my buddy owns a Z, its a nice car. I can usually pull about a CL on him by 100mph, but everything past that he walks me. It def goes up high. Im sure with a few mods this winter ill be beating him next spring :)

if i owned a Z06 and he said that to me i would of been rolling on the ground laughing my ass off for 30 minutes

Well, when my neighbor and I were talking after what his nephew said, he told me, I definitely laughed(not for 30 minutes, but for at least 5)...sad part is, so did he and he's the uncle! :)

Some people just don't understand...

I cant belive you havn't raced that kid yet. As a fellow GM owner, I consider it your RESPONSIBILITY to teach that youngn' a lesson on classic American iron (or aluminum and fiberglass in the case of a Z06, but still). Seriously, better you to teach him properly than have one more delusional 350Z owner trolling the highways and byways.

LOL, come to think of it, I had a 350Z way way back in 1979.

Took my 1976 280Z , dropped a worked chevy 350 in it, some suspension mods, a new bellhousing, and boy oh boy, had some fun then. To say I saw some stupid looks would be a gross understatement. Not form your average Japanese car owner back then, no, from american iron owners, GTO's, Chevelles, Roadrunners, Novas, that kinda stuff.

By the way did you all hear about the 35th anniversary 350Z ? Going to be a NA 300hp version, just tweaked. For those that think the 350 will come out with a turbo-charger, thinnk again, no way with the Skyline and its 400Hp slated for 2007 delivery here in the US.

AMEN!

my cousin had a 350z, he has beaten bmws not sure about any american muscle but this guy knows how t drive though. he had 300zx supra e36 m3, bought the z when it first came ot and the only thing he did was exhaust

I cant believe someone would be so iggnorant as to put "(car make) ETR" or anything dissing another make or model. Because no matter what make or model you diss, it COULD be made faster than yours. I once saw a Cammaro with a sticker on the back windshield that said "Rice Destroyer" or some crap. I was like...Like to see you beat my bro's 12 second hatch... I hate cocky people like that. Just like those two guys in that e46 M3 vs Evo video. They got their a$$es handed to them...

you took the words right out of my mouth
You don't have anything to say about 350Z owners. They treated you really nice and you had to go screw shit up. You just say they were mean it was because you can't drive and almost wrecked several 350Zs with your stupid driving. Maybe we should repost the videos of 350Zs raping your BMW. And from experience yes alot of the owners are complete ass's but there are good ones out there. I have alot of friends in the Z club with 350Zs and they are not stuck up or think their cars are Gods Chariot. Heck and I would know I have the one Z that most of the Z community hates and even these guys respect my car.

Well Mr. Phatna, pretty nice analysis but you comment about the 79 Volvo :nono ... I did some of my best driving when I used to take my dad's 81 Volvo stationwagon (without him knowing) to the twisties. Sure as hell beat the 81 V6 Chevy Malibu that he gave me as a first car :mad Sooo... c'mon down to CA, I'll show ya what my 240 86 Volvo wagon can do... :booty LOL :D

I think its all in good fun to put a plate dissing another car model. The sticker said Rice Destroyer, is your brothers car rice? Werent you being cocky saying you would like to see him beat your bro's 12sec hatch. Not flaming but just coming from the other side's point of view.

No kidding :D

just read the new 05 Z will have 300hp

just read the new 05 Z will have 300hp

Wow, a whole 14 hp bump. Thanks Nissan. I am definitly going out and getting one of those right now. :cool

I still want to sit down with a Z. I have come across a couple but none want to do anything.

Wow, a whole 14 hp bump. Thanks Nissan. I am definitly going out and getting one of those right now. :cool


not only that, but it shows that the engine is not maxed out...

just read the new 05 Z will have 300hp
just read, the new M3 will have 400 hp

Yeah, and likely cost $15-20K more.... different cars with different missions...

Different cars, same mission, make someone rich.

That being said order up one M3 for me and leave the Nissan at the dealership.

I8URV8, I love that. Much funnier than something like V8etr or IETMUSL= "I eat muscle". Either way I wish I had a z06 or a really fast American muscle car.

just read, the new M3 will have 400 hp


The new M3 will be Bangle-ized.

:devillook

Put a TT on the 350z...still costs less than a new m3 and leave the "maxed out engine" m3 in the dealership :devillook ;) OH man i really hate to see the new banglized m3 :help Oh yea and have fun driving smg :( Bmw getting rid of the manual is a sin imo.

You can add a SC on the M3 also :) Lets not bring up the prices, I am sure most 350z owners think there car is above a M3.

Over the summer one of my buddies I knew for a while was involved in a racing accident. He was the passenger in a 350Z, I dont know exactly what happened because I wasnt there. From what it said on the news was that they were racing a BMW in the streets of downtown LA when the 350Z lost control, hit curb and flew into a wall and they hit another homeless person and killed him while the car was flying. The BMW fled the scene. The 350Z literally ripped into 2 seperate pieces, sadly my friend and the driver also lost their lives that night, they were chopped in half. I cant believe the car ripped into 2 pieces? :eek: :( Nissan's might be a good overall car, but it was not built well enough to stay intact. :shifty I cant say I never race either, everyones guilty once in a while. but lets use good judgement and keep it safe out there guys.

Actually, 350zs are known to have a pretty good safety rating:

BMW 3 series:
http://www.nhtsa.gov/NCAP/Cars/2226.html

That was a pretty crazy accident though.

actually price is a big factor in the real world..but i won't bring it up.

I am sure most 350z owners think there car is above a M3.

GOd what a ignorant statement :confused IT should read...i'm sure most 350z owners that know nothing about cars think thier car is above the m3 :rolleyes

ok ok, I will rewrite it, I meant to say All the 350z owners I have met, think that they are high and above every car on the road. I have met quiet a few of them too.

fixed the pics a little bit

haha that pictures hilarious...ya i have met some 350 owners that think the car is invincible too..

Yes, that's definately true. Not as much as WRX owners, tho. Seems like every WRX driver in my area is a total douchebag.
