Ok so this isn't a wonderful victory by no means, but I must share and you guys might get a kick out of it.
So I drive a 96 delsol(what was the give away) anyone.. I was recently hanging out at the team shop. We were just messing around talking cars as ussual. Well we see this nice 350z pull up. Sky blue, full kit, with 20" chromes. He just began reving the piss out of his car trying to show off. As he pulled into the parking lot he continued to rev his car all the way till he parked. He walked over and I guess knew someone that was their.(not apart of the team) Started talking smack, eww I have a new exhaust and header, blah. Well I asked him too see it in action. He laughed and asked me against what. I told him and he laughed again. Common reaction to a honda i know i know. OH WAIT, keep in mind this kid is 16 years old, given the car for Christmas and his license plate says puddin'.
We all left and desided to head to get something to eat, he was going to tag along. We got on the highway and he seemed to pase me at 70 in 3rd reving the piss out of it. I was in the 5th the whole time looking at him like he is crazy. So finally I exit and ask him to race from a stop. His friend flagged us and I had to put him in his place.
Ate him out of the whole and stayed ahead the whole way, car and half I must say.
Well that is my first kill story post ever, and hope you havn't fallen asleep. Later

I would have liked to have seen this.
Granted the Z is a slow car, but not that slow.
Either his car is running like shit (20's DOH turn off tracking control or go nowhere fast) or he drives like shit. I am sure it is a combination of both.
It is hard to believe a delsol would win against a Z. I've outrun a modded Delsol in my 2000 expedition with 5 people in the SUV, that was funny as hell.
Sounds like he was a idiot that does not know shit about cars and needs to stop being a ass while repping in a Z. These are the cumtwats that always make the rest of us look bad.
Stock 350z = 220-225 whp (- Power: 214 kW , 287 HP SAE @ 6,200 rpm; 274 ft lb , 371 Nm @ 4,800 rpm taking from spec sheet)
Delsol = 120-150 whp depending on mods (Non-Turbo).... (- Power: , 106 HP @ 6,200 rpm; 103 ft lb @ 4,600 rpm - taking from the spec sheet)
You do the math.... The idiot did not know how to drive......
If true good kill against a dumbass. Did you get a tag for this Z? I am very curious who it was.

good kill, as long as you realize that the only way you could beat/stand a chance against a well driven Z.. is with one of those motor swaps.. b20/vtec, h22, b18 turbo

I sure hope you have more than a few bolt on's in that thing. Some sticker and a huge carbon fiber wing probably wouldn't hurt either... Oh and a big bright tachometer, almost forgot that one.
whats up dude, you should meet up with us soon dude, btw this is speedmonkey (mexican guy with the Z and Sti)

i 2nd that. I bet i couldve beaten a 350z with my stock b16 hatch. I sure as hell cant prove it now unless u know what kinda times a well driven 350z woudl run in the 1/4.

no, b16 swapped EG wouldnt beat a well driven 350z.
the only thing in the Z's ball park would be the H22 or b18c5 swapped EG's (i guess not necessarily EG's.. but could be a honda within that weight) with bolt ons.
i've been beaten by one h22 honda EG, I/H/E uberdata tuned, stripped/gutted interior. from 40kick to about 100mph by 1 to 2 carlead.. (40mph in 2nd is bad for the Z). from 50 or 60 -120mph i had a half a car lead and pulling.

do you know ne 1/4 times? Ill let you know whats the best i got out of b16 hatch after u post a time. ive raced tt 350z's at the track to so i know what theyll run but not a pretty much stock one.

this is speedmonkey btw.
your typical driver (ham fisting into 2nd gear with an not so good hole shot.. say 2.1-2.2 60's at the right track) run 14.0-14.2 @ 100mph this is what most magazine drivers run.
the fastest stock z33 ran 13.5 @ 104mph i beleive. my friend Warren ran a 13.6 @104 completely stock at Steele i beleive. he might be on the boards, Windsor knows him.
KartboyWRX
01-05-2006, 01:24 PM
you cant really base things off 1/4, specially if you're comparing to a street run.
fastest Commerce Twin turbo 350z (street tires.. stock potenza re040 at that) is Popa350z's i think. 12.9 @ 115mph.
i ran 14.2 @ 100.5XX with 2.3 60' @ commerce
350z with a horrible driver is possibly a 15 second car (I've seen it too many times at the track)
At the rate he is going he will surely run that Z into a pole, most 16 year olds do not need a car like that to learn how to drive, I'd love to personally meet the dumb ass.

Wow mad haters of the delsol on this site. I claim a win and you think I am nothing but a riced out wanna be that makes stuff up lol.
Well anyhow... My delsol atm is swapped with b20vtec, type r head, type r tranny. With skunk 2 cams. Fuel management tuned with e-manage. Never put it on a dyno, just basic swap.
Not the fastest thing in the world I admit, I miss my turbo hatch. Yes the 350z is faster I know with a better driver. I was just making a point about a 16 year old trying to act like he is the shit, in front of our whole team and getting put down.

you must thrive off attention. of course you'll be questioned when you dont post your mods, try doing that first next time, regardless. it should have been a closer race i would think. specialy on the highway

Hmmm I said "If true then good kill against a dumbass"
I have yet to read anyone "hating" "YOUR" delsol, bro. The cracks about the tach and stickers are common when posting in this area, especially when you title it "DELSLOW" and get people thinking your stock or slightly modded. Can you really expect any other response to any different when there are a crap load of G and Z owners on this site? Just being realilistic....
I think your last 2 sentences summed up exactly what "I" was trying to get across... Young dumbass driving a car that he should'nt be thinking he is a bad ass acting like a fool....
I can promise you, the folks posting in this thread would not be an easy fish like that moron you raced.
Someone tell me if I am wrong???

Ya i didnt mean haters in a bad way. I mean I knew it was coming that is why i made the thread 350z vs delSLOW. I don't take it personal. Yes your correct I failed to post my mods on the site at first.
I didn't race the z on the highway because i knew he would walk away from me. Just wanted to race him from a stop where I would have an advantage.
I wasn't bashing z's or anything of that nature, I am sure their are plenty of people that know how to drive their z and would easily show me how they should drive. Just posting a fun story.

Julio RSX 14.2 @100 2.1 60' i think(silverdollar)
Ravi RSX 14.7 @ 96 2.4 60' (commerce)
Zequiel's Supra TT bpu hasnt ran
geo's 300zx TT bpu hasnt ran
Felipe's WRX Stg 2 15.1 @ 92 2.2 60' (commerce, however that was completely stock with no awd launch) he now makes 240awhp 230awtq and capable of high mid 13's.
Rudy EVo hasnt ran.
Z33k 350z hasnt ran.
alex stock 06 wrx hasnt ran.
and thats it.

yeah Stg 2 maps from cobb, 301awhp 317awtq. (probably a little more than that now, it was a slightly diff map, in hot temp ie: 80 degrees) when the car was dynoed. it is untunned running very rich.
the 06 STi i havent driven, alex has a 06 wrx not sti, but few here and there say they favor the 04's aftermarket and lack of unnecessary knock sensoring
the 06 wrx's arent equipped with the EJ20 any longer either, its an ej25 with the same turbocharger/intercooler/and intake manifold of the EJ20, however.. the difference in displacement gives the 06 WRX a dozen or more lb ft of torque than the previous EJ20 equipped WRX's. as far as motor stoutness (if thats even a word) i have no idea how this EJ25 will pair up against the EJ20.. the EJ20 was a slightly stronger motor than the STi ej25, and something tells me the new WRX EJ25 is not going to be as strong as the EJ20 was.. who knows, ill look into it

Better looking is all based on opinion, nothing against hondas or their owners because I've never cared for the nissan vs honda thing BUT you are comparing a compact car to a luxury vehicle.. there is literally NO comparison and you are stupid if you think otherwise. I never went out and compared my G35 to a Porsche and you know why? Because the Porsche is in a totally different class and twice the car the G35 is STOCK.
All of this "you paid twice as much to get beat by a honda" is basically you making yourself feel better about the situation cause trust me.. not one G35 or 350Z owner says "damn I wish I had of bought that del sol and dropped $15 grand into it." You're paying all that money to barely beat a car that is stock and still has a full warranty. :goodjob:

first of all it wouldnt take anywhere near 15k to beat a 350z or a g35, and yea looks are all up to the individual. cause i know i would rather be driving these, than ANY G35 or 350Z.....im not some dumbass you can walk all over, i know there is no comparing imports to luxury, i know i've had a few luxeries myself, but i just get tired of people hatin on honda.....and btw if i spent 15k ima be in the 10's......thats not barely beating anything

Seriously.. stop lying. Any G35 or 350Z huh? I'd post up pictures of 350Z's and G35's fully modded and twin turbo but I'd be wasting my time cause I know for the sake of argument you will still say you'd rather have one of those integras you posted.
I'm not saying the 350Z or G35 is the better car, I'm saying they are in a totally different class and there is no comparison, its a different story with say an S2000 which is an amazing car.

lol Nothing like it, this is my first AWD car and I'm hooked now. One question, your 1-2 shift do you have to feather the clutch a little to get it to engage smoothly? If I dont it feels like the car just bogs for a quick second.. also launching is a lot harder than I thought, I havent completely tried to figure it out but from what I have experienced its a lot more complex than just revving it up and dropping the clutch.

i kinda granny shifted it before when i was making stockish power (the rear end would go "clunk" and some boggin existed, now i can kinda grab 2nd hard and the car barks no more bogging or clunks.
awd launches take alot of practices. try this.. study where your clutch catches and have it memorized..
once you got that down.. pump the throttle, rev up and down keeping it between 5500-6500 rpm and start feathering out to the point of catch, the car should start moving right before it catches completely, as soon as the car starts moving dump completely (you should pretty much be right at catching point at that point)
hope that made sense.. i had a few brewskies
check out the bay area racing vid in the forums, in the mid of vid there is a nice example of how the revving/launching should be done in an STi.

no, b16 swapped EG wouldnt beat a well driven 350z.
the only thing in the Z's ball park would be the H22 or b18c5 swapped EG's (i guess not necessarily EG's.. but could be a honda within that weight) with bolt ons.
i've been beaten by one h22 honda EG, I/H/E uberdata tuned, stripped/gutted interior. from 40kick to about 100mph by 1 to 2 carlead.. (40mph in 2nd is bad for the Z). from 50 or 60 -120mph i had a half a car lead and pulling.
Donno bout all that. I was like neck and neck with a 350z till like 110 from 20mph in my EK wit a B16a 170hp and a exhaust, intake mani and Chipped P28 ecu. Not to mention the many Wrx's, Rx8 and S200 I hung with or beat from a roll. so I said all that to say this.... I depends on the driver and circumstance.:2cents:

Wow this post has gotten out of hand lol. We all have our own opinions about cars. That is why we put money into what we like.
A simple post about who beat what shouldn't turn into a picture battle about who likes what better, its an endless discussion.
But the fact still remaines, the 350z lost to my delsol...:)

Seriously.. stop lying. Any G35 or 350Z huh? I'd post up pictures of 350Z's and G35's fully modded and twin turbo but I'd be wasting my time cause I know for the sake of argument you will still say you'd rather have one of those integras you posted.
I'm not saying the 350Z or G35 is the better car, I'm saying they are in a totally different class and there is no comparison, its a different story with say an S2000 which is an amazing car.
you do that then i'd post up a 800hp integra, depends on what you like, i'll stick to navigators for luxury.....

i'm trying not to dump the clutch, and just slip it at 5000rpm launch. last time i dynoed at 291hp-334tq, best pass was 13.4@102 at commerce. i know i am slow to shift, and i am trying to stretch out 4th to much.

try pumping 5500-6krpm at the track and slip dump, trust me.. the car's drivetrain can take it (straight dumping is what it cant take for long), works out much better. in the beginning practice with the DCCD transferring as much as it can to the rear.
im going FPgreen, injectors, Access Protuner. i've already got a FMIC, and im staying away from meth

does not sound like commerce is a good track for anyone even awd cars and I do see some hatred toward the delsols but there are some fast ones out there mine ran a 13,8 at commerce with my clutch slipping like crazy and with my old set up should be alot faster now
