You mean challenge your GF bro or my friend? If the traction control off, it will do the "fish tail" at the start, but it will keep pulling away from the FTO. Its around 1 1/2 to 2 car length. You got to remember its also depends on the driver, so go & get him
yeah, my gf bros 350z.... hnmm ive had my fto for about 3 years now.. so i should be able to get a launch.. heheh

I though GT3 is a N/A Club spec of the 911 which design for rich ass people to have a track car, while you can still drive it on normal road at the weekend, but its a awefull daily mover though.

I know GT2 is the RWD version of the 996 911 turbo.

Yep

The GT3 is the NA version. There is also a GT3 RS version which is 50kgs lighter that the normal GT3.

GT2 is the turbo version.

Mine is Tip, & his is manual. Like I said if the driver of 350z didn't turn off the traction control, it would be a easy kill. But if its off, & the driver know what he/she doing, theres no way a N/A FTO going to beat a 350z.

Is not just a FTO my friend beat after he turn off the traction control, he even beat a S15 that had a mild modification (FMIC, Pod filter, full exhaust)

A bit off topic but 350z is faster then FTO if it had the traction control off. Got a friend who had 3 x 350z in his family, & draged him couple of times. I;m suprisely beat him for the first few time when he had traction control on, but once its off, its see you later FTO.
see you later Fto? how many lengths would that be?

My Gfs brother has a 350z, i would like to "challenge" him :lol:

I actually had a GTR 32 before, it's a great car but it's really getting a bit old and dated. So instead of power, i decided to get an fto due to it's nice styling. I chose it over a supra due to:-

-Price
-Fuel economy
-insurance
-too many supras on the road

Next car for me would be a porshe boxster

Dude, R32 GTRs are getting rare =)

And they are definately a driver's car, no computer compensation . . .

Hmmmm, jumping from that car to an FTO would of been a huge change =)
