Nismo 370Z
 
1 Attachment(s)
So I was minding my own business driving back from the store and this dude in a Nismo 370Z with body mods pulls alongside and says"Wanna Go?"
Firstly, I'm a 53 year old man. I'm not trying to prove anything to anybody, especially on the street. I told him, I'll race you on the track, but not here. I have an E85 flex-fuel sprintex sc'd FRS. Which has approx the same HP but much less weight than a 370Z. So I think that unless he has some good mods, I'm gonna give him a surprise. But I'm not one of those idiots who street races.

Oh and good for not being an idiot that street races! Innocent people everywhere thank you for that!

No questions from me. Just a "come race me bro" report I guess!

Playing the devil's advocate, you're car attracts my attention instantly. Mostly because it's rad looking. But I can see why that Z owner would wanna race. He see's a highly modified car, and thinks, "I gotta beat this punk."

Thanks! I think!

My brother has a lightly modified convertible 350Z. So I appreciate those cars. Actually I appreciate any sports or high performance car. But there is a time and place to race!

Heh, 53 years old with a rocket bunny kit.

Benchracing time: you guys could dice it up for 15 minutes straight in a furious battle, and a 1989 Miata might sail by both of you in the process with a stock 110hp engine and good tires. Driving skill is huge.

exS4 11-05-2015 06:33 PM

Thanx

Not a fan of Miatas or Rx8's.
But I agree, that skill trumps high $ mods
