If you can hook up on the launch you could win. If you launch bad then you will loose!

You should win horribly unless the car has boost turned way up or something. They aren't that quick stock, and they're quite heavy.

this car is running 14PSI and an intake on an otherwise stock engine and ran a 14.7 in the video.. comments say he pulled a 14.3 later that night. Stock boost on those cars is about 7psi.. soooo.. if hes running stock boost you'll destroy him

I had a 300zx single turbo and on 93 octane and 13 pounds of boost I was putting out 260. The 300zx is RWD so going to have better traction. All I can say is car wise the 300zx would throw down more but it will be a drivers race.

I think u will take him! dont get too confident race him like u would if u were racing a car .1 of second slower than u. That means no mistakes! haha. but u should take him with a good launch.

If he looses(he probably will) tell him I've got an oem upgraded turbo for that Z. 0miles for cheapz.

I had an 88 that put down about 250ish on 12psi. Then it jumped timing and blew. Upgraded the turbo planning on rebuilding it, ended selling the car.

He isnt into modding cars, he bought this car becouse it was already semi quick.
I doubt he will add any more engine mods.
