well s2000 kept breaking.. my own fault (spray).. so got rid of it and got a '00 z28 is a '00 six speed LS1 v8.. dynoed 324rwhp w/ just magnaflow cat back..

the silver 350z came to this local meet tonight.. cool guy besides his comment about my car not being "inspiring" enough to race..

he informed me w/ the intake, flywheel, and exhuast he has on the car.. he's probably making 300 wheel.. damn those 350's get bang for the buck.. aren't they 285 at the crank stock? lol

he decides he'll humor me with a race..
we get on the highway.. he takes the left lane.. he's hanging back.. goin about 60.. i downshift.. and slow down a bit.. just sitting there w/ the rpms up.. slow down a bit more.. look over he's trying to say something.. figured cop or something..

less then a minute later.. he downshifts.. revs up.. so i'm like ok .. i down shift and light up again.. he's sitting there.... ok.. i lunge forward abit.. then i hear him downshift again.. .. .. we're off.. well.. kinda.. get to the top of third.. .. look up in the rear view and see some pretty nice headlights.. and some smoke from my exhuast.. as i'm shifting to 4th. .keep going a little and let off.. tap the brakes.. then comes the 350.. flys by..

get off the highway.. 350 guy pulls up.. 'That wasn't a fair start!' he rolls up the window and takes off.. so oh **** i take off.. off idle.. by 3rd i'm at his back bumper and let off.. coming up on traffic

guess my car wasn't worth of a real run..

other kill was STIracers.. formally SHOracer.. brand new Stock STI from a roll.. i'm sure he would of got me from a stop

Nice kills! Ls1's are fast, esp. modded ones. But I can't imagine switching from an S2K to a Camaro. Both are totally on the opposite ends of the spectrums. One is one of the best handling and funnest cars in the world and fairly quick, and the other is very fast in a straight line and a monster when modded. All in all, never in my wildest dream would I trade in a car like an S for a Camaro or Mustang. But to each his own. Anyway, nice kills! Didn't mean to rag on your post or car; just felt like expressing my views.

Nice kill, and btw there is no way in hell that 350Z was making 300 to the wheels, more like 260...

You definitely chose a great setup for drag racing. All you need to do now is load that new ride with spray...
