Got beat by a 370 today

So I decided to take on a 370 today on my way home from work. I had my automatic G35 with minor mods and the 370 looked pretty much stock. I had him from 1 thru 3rd gear, but he just pulled on me after that. It sounded pretty nice being a stock 370 and all. Now I want one....lol. I wish I was driving my RX3 though, would of been a better race.

I got my ass handed to me by a 370Z the other day as well. Nice cars. The engine could sound a little meaner, but otherwise I was very impressed with how it performed. A nice tight corner on the freeway was where he really schooled me on the street.

well, its the tightest curve of any of the freeways around here. Not really a corner i guess, but when you're going that fast it may as well have been for my car.

I grew up just off the WV Turnpike between Charleston and Beckley. Once you get south of Beckley, wow, those are some Interstate twisties. I don't get out that way often anymore, but that was a good call Justin.

I grew up on Cabin Creek, went to East Bank H.S. and then WV Tech in Montgomery. Been living in PA Dutch country for a bit over 5 years. Some of the backroads thru the farm country can be a fun drive. Then there's the Amish slalom (buggies) on market days!

phoenix is a pretty boring square grid for the most part... but we do have some nice freeway stretches, and then the road from Phoenix to Payson is a really nice twisty mountain road.

I haven't heard a 370 WOT yet, does it sound as hollow as the 350Z/G35??

I have the basic CAI and exhaust on my G35, so when I raced that Z it just sounded "not stock" even though it was. Louder than when my G was stock. I just want to know if it can produce the 55 whp that stillen claims???? Anyone have that proof??

Nice RX-3 I had an RX-4 back in high school I loved that little car and it was a fast car back in day in 84. I could beat RX-7's top end but they would get me off the line as mine was auto.
