My 2002 LSE vs Twin Turbo 300zx

[monnieh]

My mods: intake, exhaust, X3

300zx: had exhaust and that all I could tell. I got behind him this morning and he took off, I took off, after 2nd I had to switch lanes and beat him?!?

These simply mods are not enough to beat a TT 300zx are they?

you so sure it was a tt

 

[2000Lincolns]

yea theres no way...maybe he was just doing the speed limit.

my buddy has the 4 seater z with intake, and he could keep up with my LS pretty well. A twin turbo would've smoke you.

I used to have a TT Z, that car was faster than my LS by far.

Or the guy knew how stupid it was to waste gas on a car he would beat.

 

[1LoudLS]

he probaly figured if he was going to take the risk of racing sombody on the street that he should wait for a car worth racing or the cash to get his car out of impound when he gets busted

twin turbo 300zx run around 14 flat through the quarter but sub 6 0-60. no, you wouldn't be beating him.
however a simple 300zx (NA) isn't all that quick. i think somewhere in the realm of 7 second 0-60 and 15 down the quarter.. so at one of THOSE you'd have a shot and they're certainly much more common than the turbo variants

this thread makes me laugh

I have 2000 Viper ACR and a Honda 2006 1000RR so I know what fast is. This guy was pushing it through first gear for sure. I think he let up after that but I stayed with him through his first gear.

Pretty impressive for the old 2002 LSE.

 

[NYC LS8]

He was in reverse.

 

[monnieh]

Hey will the X3 data logging tell you 0-60 and 1/4 times?

So you actually did not race him.

 

[monnieh]

OK, fine you guys are ribbing me too much. I will go and find the black 300zx twin turbo on campus (where I teach) and get him to race me head up - IN THE VIPER! heh

*yawn*

Which Viper forum are you a part of? The VCA or The Alley?

Don't go up to either very much anymore. They got lame. I like LVC best. It's been fun to catch people by suprise in my "hot rod" Lincoln.

Not sure. Only have the XCAL2. Check it out on SCT's site - it should say.

I tried to race a 300zx in the Mark, definitely not a chance I could've beat em.

 

[jiggajatt]

seriously my bro has a TT fairlady and its quick. bone stock with 94K miles and it hauls ass!
i dont think he was trying

 

[glanga]

Pretty much anything with "twin-turbo" in the name... an LS isn't beating.

+1 :lol:

 

[HyeLifeLS]

maybe he was going in zig-zags?

 

[Frogman]

Oh please!

I blew the doors off a Viper in a Mark VIII once. Blew by him by at least 60MPH faster than he was going.

But I don't think he was racing me. His car was parked.

 

[EMPIRELS]

I've actually ran my friends 91 300z TT and i beat him by a fender ......so i wouldn't say its not possible....well if its stock atleast ...
