My guess is you raced a automatic, and that guy/woman couldnt drive very well or didnt launch it. A 350z should have no problem beating us. I raced a 350 Z track on the highway and he walked me like a dog. I could not keep up for the life of me. 6-speed 350z's can hit well into the 13's stock while the best time i heard for our crossfire is a 14.6@96. While the auto 350'z's are running in the low 14 area.
