That way you will know if it was a drivers race or his car is simply faster than yours.
Good Luck!

Your race seems to be about right
E93 has alot of extra weight and 350z with mods definitely helped him.

My friend has a APS twin turbo kit on his G35 400whp 330tq and I just have JB2H and intake. I didnt dyno my car but its probably around like 340hp 360tq. As much as I would like to think i am a good driver. he would always beat me by half a car from 40mph-120mph. Then few nights ago, i let another friend who is a really good driver drive my car for the first time to race the G35 TT and this time we beat him by half a car ( I was the passenger) and G35 TT was by himself. We won because i wasnt driving my car and also its the first time i turned off tracion control (pressing it once) so it release all my ponies to run wild, which is still better than engine being cut out.

i personally owned a 350z before and my 335 feels way way faster than the Z. Unless the Z is twin turbo'd, i highly doubt there is a chance for it to beat u.

is the 350 xavier's?

What year is the Z? Even with those mods, I would still expect the 335i to pull or at least be even. As mentioned, the weight of the e93 is really holding you back.

sorry a little off topic, but how about a Z with supercharger kit? not sure how many kits are out there though

will a chipped N54 stand a chance?

traction on and off makes a huge difference in a race... when I had my G, I once beat a Z by 2 cars length cuz he had traction control on...

That should make for an interesting race. A typical vortech Z has roughly 400whp, but only about 330wtq.

The numbers are almost switched on a chipped N54, with around 380wtq and 330whp.

A turbo Z with 400whp, would also have about 400wtq and would be a good deal faster than a 400whp SC Z.
