I dunno man....I was sitting here with my PC clock seeing how long 7/10ths of a second is and it's nearly the blink of an eye. If one driver misses a shift or doesn't keep his car in the powerband long enough before shifting or anything like that it would spell doom when you're talking tenths like that.....at least that's what it seems like to me as I've never drag raced before.

We also own a '03 Maxima SE, it has a similar engine to the Z but not quite as powerful. The Max is definitely not a drag car (FWD, torque steer, etc.). Still, that V6 is extremely powerful. I test drove a Z a while back and it felt very quick. Don't forget that the EVOs tend to fall flat in the higher revs and gears. I would not be surpriced if the Z kills EVOs with the right driver.....

7 tenths is a huge difference when it comes to drag racing, it's a car length or more. But I'm starting to understand that maybe from a roll, a race would be closer than I first suspected, but I still believe this guy's claims of 23 victories and 1 defeat to EVOs is total crap, the more likely outcome is 23 defeats and 1 victory.

well, the issue here is that he hasn't just killed one or two evo's, he's killed 20 some-odd evo's. the only problem with that is that i find it unlikely that he's found 20+ evo's that are all close to stock and all with poor drivers. sure stock to stock from a roll, the evo loses some of its advantage, but it's hard to believe that none of those evo's had at least a MBC and TB exhaust... in which case the 350z should have lost, even with a sub-par driver in the evo.

agreed.....1 or 2 maybe....but 20+......I don't think so.

I guess I didnt realise that we drove such contested cars. I mean I am by no means a good driver, but I would hate to get beaten once and fill up some guys ego enough to go brag about it. Its just to bad that people have to be dicks....congrats on his victory but I dont see the greatness in beating a crappy driver.
Also, there is now 1, 03 evo remaining in my area....mine. The other 8 have destroyed theirs. And even if you count in the 04 and 05, there isnt anywhere near 20. I see more Sti's. Has this guy been to one of our gatherings?!

yeah, that about sums it up for me as well.
