Default Got beat by a 350Z, Video, And got some excuses...

Finally got some time to get together with one of my buddies...
He has a 2005? 350Z stock with the Nismo Package ( headers, intake and exhaust)

we met up at the house and went out to a decent place to play.
We lined up and i told him go on the third honk...
I had to hesitate for a second so it would be even..
He rosted the tires through 1st, i got off the line ok but it was runnin rich and bogging cause it was pulling timing..
he caught up with me and passed me..

Second race we started out on this small hill so both of could get some good traction.
I stall it up and it boggs, so i honked 3 times and off we go..
I hit second gear and it felt horrible so i let out...

His car sounds great!!! no ricer sounding exhaust..

So we came back to the house and watched the video...
I hope it comes out ok.. Im uploading it right now..

When i get everything sorted out we are goin to race again... then he is goin to have some work to do the keep up....
He loves the STS.. and thinkin of gettin one in a couple years..

His car sounds really good! Hope you figure your fueling issues Jonathan, you should probably go easy on it until you figure what's causing it to bog down. That truck goes down one more time I think your liable to shoot it! I remember how pissed you were last time when your tranny blew.
You think about getting a custom tune?
