A Z06 in the 14s? Christ, thats appalling. You really have to TRY to do that. I ran a 14.3 at 70mph, and I started BRAKING at half track.

anything that runs 14s and slower is fair game, otherwise, pending lack of skills, you will get wasted. I took a C4 vette the other day, wooohooooo go little S (low).

a 350Z and an S2000 are as close to a dead even race as you can get. Both cars capable of high 13's.

The S2000 will pull the Z off the line believe it or not (gearing) and then the 350Z catches up. then it's even to about 100, and then the 350Z will SLOWLY start to pull above those speeds.

I raced well over 50 times against stock 350Z's when my S2000 was stock. the majority of them against my friend who ran 13.7 at the track. a race between me and him literally came down to who got the better launch. it was a 50/50 chance every time.

this is nothing new, why do you act so shocked?

most of the 350 drivers in central florida are not really racers....nor do they have the stamina to run 100+....at least from my experience...on a road course the s with it's superior build quality and weight distribution shold prevail everytime
