I just got back from a very technical course in which I was racing down with the local area Z club. I started purposely from the back and passed all but 4 cars. Keep in mind we had about 26 cars in all.

Cars I passed include:

3 350Zs w/ bolt on mods like strut bars, springs, wheels/tires etc.
Numerous Z32 Twin Turbo 300Zs all pushing near the 400 hp mark.
Z32 N/a 300Zs
240,260,280Z's
Z31 300Zs
1 S14

I didnt catch up to some highly modded 260 and 280Zs that were just faster than hell. I caught up to the 260Z but he sped up.

Overall I was dissapointed in the 350Z's handling as I passed 2 of them on the INSIDE!

Of course im kinda cheating :D running semi stock 350Zs

Before the run down the road I was chatting with some of the 350Z owners and they where saying they are gonna own the road. One cheeky fellow said he was an excellent "race car driver" in the SCCA. Needless to say I passed him. Some "Race car driver" :rolleyes:

Nismo_Freak,

What is the spec of your 240??
ie bhp, handling. basically everything.. you must have a good set up to catch cars like the ones you have mentioned..

or is that down to driver skill;)

Cheers,
