Ever heard the expression...don't bring a knife to a gunfight...yeah, well that's what you're doing racing a Z on a straight:bonk:

Well, I figured I would give it a shot. I beat an rx8 with an accessport, intake, and full exhaust by 2 cars. I also put a whooping on a stock civic si. It was worth a shot. Hater

Never understood racing in a straight line, to each their own.

Holy Moly:offtopic:

Why did you buy this car for? You did read all the articles and review before it came out right? Please....

Racing a Miata is what you needs...

Well I guess you don't realize how much power this car has. Yeah, it is comparable to an RX-8 or Civic Si but the 350Z has a V6 with over a 100 more horsepower and lb-ft of torque. So I'm not a hater but I would choose my battles wisely and know my opponents. I hate to break it to you but it wasn't designed to be a drag car and you might even get outrun by a cheaper family sedan or SUV.

Thanks for uploading this video. Damn the FR-S is slow.

FR-S is a "sporty" car, but not a real sports car. When I think of sports car, I think of cars that has handling and is fast. A 370z will run laps around the FR-S any day, I am reconsidering not buying an FR-S now. I think I'll save my money for the new Porsche Cayman S, handling and fast like a real sports car should be.

If you can afford one why would you consider an FR-S in the first place?

I thought it was gonna put up more of a challenge. It can't even hang with an 350z that weighs about 3400lbs.

Hopefully the FR-S sells well and other car manufacturers will get on board and make decent sports car that is light weight, handles, and fast.

The thing for me is, I want to buy a car that's sporty and not that expensive so that I can drive the shiit out of it(my driving style). If I by a more expensive car like a Porsche Cayman S, I'm afraid I'll baby it and drive like an old grandpa.

I smell bullshit. Anyways, I don't see anything wrong with doing a pull with a z don't bash on the guy for it. But seriously dude didn't you know that before you bought the car? It's not that much faster then an mx-5 stock, you should have bought a z for half the price if you wanted straight line speed.
