gather around the fire guys..its story time.
The exhaust note said "ahh, that was a great season" as I down shifted into 2nd coming out of the expessway off ramp and approached the awaiting red light one cool October evening. Only about 5k left till home now. Taking it easy now, no real rush cruising the curb lane, i couldnt help but notice the headlights of a car darting in and out of traffic in my rear view mirror and getting closer and closer to me. "hmm" wondering what this guy was driving and what was the big rush was, i slowed down and waited for him. As he pulled beside me, i have to admit his 350z sounded nice. really nice. Looks like his rush was over as he cruised beside me blippin the throttle once and awhile as if to say " lets go". My thought was this is a race i'd rather win with the name BMW alone, thinking that he might very well blow my doors off. Besides, we were in a consistant flow of traffic, no place to have a race and get myself in to more license troubles. Relentless this guy was, and my foot couldnt help itself as it pounded the throttle into the floor for a quick second barking back at the 350z. The next intersection was mine, saved by the intersection *sigh* as i turned the sweeping corning to the yeild sign and waited for my break. Glanced in the rear view once, hello 350z sitting right behind me. Well its come to this huh? open road now, no traffic. Ok 350, lets see what you got. Eased out first gear and held it at 2700 (one of my favorite sweet spots) and let him jump in front of me with his engine screeming for the shift. Come on baby.. mashing the pedal to the floor the back end broke loose and the tires whistled their tune..giddy up go!! second gear and "chirps" as she sat down as if to say "lets catch this motherf$#*er" Top of second and wait,...could it be? Im pulling this guy in!! 3rd and on his ass. The realization that i could take him had set in..now i just sit here on his bumper and make him wonder for a second--why am I not pulling away from this guy?-- Ok, Ive had enough, time to pass. Pulled to his left side and let the imola roadster sail on by as my grin was now ear to ear spread over my face. As i passed I wished i was him for a split second imagining how nice his view of my car was. Hmm 4th? why not. He still hasnt givin up, adios amigo as the gap just got painfully bigger. Turned on the next side street and brought her down to a quite cruise. Great season roady, great season. :alright

I see that you have great love for your BMW, thats good because its a great car. That must have been pretty sweet and you are quite good at telling stories.

Eloquently put.

Nice story!
S52 mroady i presume.

I was actually sitting in your passenger seat when I was reading that story. Well done.

nice kill, and its about damn time i heard a kill story invovling a 350z (the most badass car in the world) losing to a car that is actually a faster car.

Have fun with that statement BMW children.
hahahahhaaha

a 350z soft top is not only ugly it is actually disturbingly slower than the coupe. I've read so many Altima SE folks beating it. Doesn't it way like 3500lbs? It's ashame that the coupe is so nice but a simple chop off the roof turned it into a toad. I wouldn't doubt for a single moment that an MZ3 will rape a 350z softtop.

Convertible 350Z = FTL. good kill. i have never raced an M roadster myself. always have been a fan of the roadster and M shoe.

Hammad

great story... really makes me miss my imola m roady!!!

nice kill story .. and well written

Good story, I myself have three notches on the dash: two 350Z's, 1 coupe & 1 convert, and a Toyota Celica 3000GT Turbo.

Very nice story. Those 350z's are cool cars, but they aren't a bimmer, he shoulda known better :).

good kill and well written

nice kill

LOL! That's a good one. Good story too!

First off, nice kill and really nice writing.

I absolutely love the exhaust note those 350z cars have. My friend has an automatic coup, but even so it is a beautiful sounding/looking car. Like everyone else said though...it's still no 540i :)

thx for the compliements guys and I hope you all felt as if you were there for the kill :)

i wonder what the difference in times is between 350 coupe and vert

I Looooove It

nice kill and great story telling! 350z's are great cars and fast as well. I have only raced a 350z auto coupe that had a full exhaust and i got him pretty good on the highway. They are sick sounding cars stock let alone modded!

only a few more months till spring :( had to re-read my kill to lift my winter blues.

s52 or s54?

I don't know if he had S52/S54 but I kill 350Zs (coupes and convertibles) easily with my S54. It isn't even close most of the time unless I misshift or I am lazy. +1 to the OP for the kill. I think the 350Zs are nice cars but they aren't really that fast unless you mod them. Then of course I am assuming you were stock too.

Only thing that would have made that story any better would have been the occasional use of paragraphs. :eek: :D

350 z are not very fast..Thye look nice and sound great though.
