255HP or not...

So on Friday night, I am on I-91 heading north in Mass (from Springfield to Northampton if you're familiar), just cruising along, when I see a car come up to my left to pass. I think nothing of it until he gets next to me and doesn't pass. I see a white maxima with clear corners, led's and some fancy led lights inside. So I am thinking, maybe he wants to race. Sure enough, he does. I give it a little gas, as does he... so I'm thinking.. alright, maybe he's serious. I pound the pedal and fly ahead... then I move into the left lane so I won't get stuck in slower traffic. For about 4 exits, he struggles to get ahead of me, but I don't allow it. I only let him get close enough to read MAXPWR... lol. I think we maxed out at around 100mph.. not too fast, but fast enough for me...

Just a little friday night fun.

My friend is 22 and he just bougth 350Z about a month ago. What is so wrong with young peps driving 350Z?

So you beat them pretty good? I am pretty sure that 6-speed Max can run with 350Z. I guess I will find out for myself, if me and my friend get a chance to race eachother.

I tried driving his Z a little bit and the tranny and clutch are all different compared to my car. Throws of the shifter diffenetly feel shorter.

On my car clutch engages at about middle travel and on 350Z is was almost right away. I stalled couple times, becasue wasn't used to clutch engaging so early.
