seriouse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! owned!?

 

idk you should just go out and race him then report back with the results. Just be safe out there

 

yea its gonna go down im tired of getting nocked about how my tib is slow!!!
but yea SAFTEY FIRST MAN its gonna be on an open road with no cops and no hazards...not planing on doin it with trafic and cops around....it will be a good clean race.

 

I voted for option 3: peanut butter and jelly sandwich!

 

I though spaghetti and meatballs should have been an option. That would have made for a very serious thread.

 

man your gunna get killed by both the 350z and the jag, seriously dont go against those cars without a turbo or AT LEAST i/h/e your looking at 170ish hp you have at the wheels and you still weigh 3200 poundsish. The jag is a torquey engine (300+ ft/lb) not to mention it weighs only 3700lbs so your ****ed right there. Youll have more of a chance with the z, and thats not saying much...

 

Oh jeez...crazy kids with everything to prove... lol jk Good luck though - you will need it.

 

you can win under one condition DRIVE DIRTY or Dont let it pass you

 

idk if you guys know what JAG it is but???? its a 4 door sedan!........heavy *** hellll! heres a picture of what it looks like

and yea im runin with an intake and exhaust and the z takes that jag easily...

 

want me to give you the specs on that "heavy as hell" car?

3700lb curb weight
298HP
303ft/lb tq

Its probably running in the high 13 second qm..

Your 3100lb
180 hp
170something ft/lb tq

Your running AT BEST 15s

and your not running a full I/H/E so no you cant win, and even with headers you wont win, and even if the jag starts in 5th gear no you will not win, and even if you cut him off or drive dirty or throw a banana peel out the window you will not win, stop playing mario kart, not all cars are the same speed buddy.

 

They are making fun of you because you are a fan boy. Both the 350z and the Jag will win you [.]

Take a look at the power to weight ratios. You lose on every front, including style and quality. Don't feel bad though. Jags and Z's have both earned their respect over many years. Your only hope, install NOS or go F/I.

lol.....i think ill take the jag honestly 4,000 somethin pounds vs, 3,000lb quick and nible sports car, the z no im not gonna win that!

 

I think its time to invest in some boost

 

yea i want to go with the NGM supercharger, but jeeze they cant possibly be anymore money! there very pricy:2_frown: and its either a supercharger or rims. one or the other fiirst..

 

No way in hell that Jag weighs 3700 lbs. So, after looking up the specs, it makes 290 hp/290 tq and weighs around 4000 pounds. If you know how to drive, you may pull it off, though he may get you off the line. Oh yeah, if it is a long-wheelbase model (XJ8L), that makes it even heavier. Just make sure it isn't an XJR. I made that mistake once on an onramp with my old 6-speed with I/E and an XKR hardtop.

Weight is the main reason why sub-300 hp english cars are slow. Because it takes that much power just to get them to move reasonably quick.

Don't listen to Nikeiolouse...his estimates for your tiburon are way off. Even after I/E, you're still probably making more torque than hp or a nearly equal amount of both.

=) someone finally with a little faith! lol, but yea im concerned about the dig now? i think it will be one hell of a race IMO....weight plays a big role!

 

Apparently he already did....bone stock. And now he has intake and exhaust.

Good job GT Racer....sounds like you know how to drive.

EDIT: I wonder what the sport mode does. If it is just a suspension damping control or if it changes shift points and possibly power output.

thanks yea i did take him! id like to say im a decent driver =) , and i was scared shitless when we did it cause i herd the damn think rev up but i managed to stay upfront, the poll shows ill get killed but everyones wrong! lol

i just have to try the dig now to completely shut my dad up lol, so he dnt knock on my car any more, im not great at launching but i think i should be ok if i can get off the line with little weel spin :3_winkthu ...its just cool hearin other peoples opinion =) hopefully soon i can give this race a shot, races with a roll arent as good as races from a dig

 

What does weight have to with it anymore? Look at the Bentley Flying Spur, almost 8000lbs and a 0-60 time under 5 seconds.

You could take the Jag...all the way to the store and buy yourself a nice turbo kit after you get waxed. Lol

Lets us know how that turns out.

 

yea the sport mode i guess changes the revs and power output a little and he gonna take traction controle off? so it is gonna rev a little higher i guess?

but yea ill let you all know what goes down ounce we race from the dig...hopefully prove everyone and all the haters wrong lol...i know what my car can do and ive driven the jag =) nothin special only the top end mph,,but we arent going to go over 100

 

It doesn't matter if it is a sedan or not. My mom has a 3.5L Nissan Maxima. It is a big car, but it can blow my Tib out of the water! My GTP can barely take the Maxima and it has a ported M90 blower on it with a 3.6" pulley (stock is 3.8").

 

O yea i know wait isnt an issue always, but yea the jag has alot of power but it really is a boat, i mean we could cruize on the highway at 80 and if we both punch it well ill be sayin by by lol but the nissan is as heavy as a sold metal older jag.....

 

Good luck with the jag. As far as the Z depending on your mods I think the Z will win. If you have I/E/H then it should be fairly close. I myself, with just an SRI Beat a few Z's off the line every time. Probably because I just had a better launch. but they would blow me at about 90 ft. Ive seen a tib with I/E/H just BARELY lose to a Z so, there you go.

 

really? ive herd that the tib can take a z off the line but then, the z pulls away, but cool, how much do headers do horsepower and performance wise? is it worth buying?

 

You should buy headers to complete the I/H/E setup. It will increase the flow to the exaust which in your case is aftermarket so it is worth buying.

LMAO^!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LOL I DNT THINK THAT IS TRUE AT ALL! IM still the only one that voted for the tib? thats bad, no believers! lol ill prove it wrong though and youll repost that with the tib in sec z first jag in last....

but yea idk what kinda headers to get and whitch will complement my injen intake and exhaust best? injen dnt make headers? and money isnt really a big issue? id like to get real high quality headers.

 

who has a tibby that weighs 3100 lbs. The plate on the door on mine says 3880. Good race though. Try from a dead stop.

 

=) thanks, but yep dead stop race is next for shore,

 

 

SFR has some good headers. I know NGM is making headers now, but as of yet no price (I think). Headers are a MAJOR component for you exhaust tho.

 

yea i just gotta do some reaserching, to find out what company makes the best quality headers overll.....i think ARK is really good no? and they have been around for a good time?

 

definitely get some headers, if you want quality see if you can find some dc sports, but if you want quality in headers that you can actually find get the ark ones. if you want some cheap headers that do a little less for you get ebay ones. they work fine.

also, just race from a dig and post up the results, its your dad, you can do it whenever, and if you win then good job, but if you lose then you'll know.....

 

yea so youd say ARK makes nice quality headers? but yea im a perfectionist lol so it takes me a while to put things on my car unless i know it is grade a stuff:3_winkthu so......ARK would be the best probably..

but yea the race will go down soon, or a later...i was gonna race his Z but after i went to the track for the first time...it made me say um...maybe i wont and ill wait for some more mods, so yea lol.....but ill defiantly post the results =) and if i do lose " cough cough, dought it cause i kinda did win already" it not a big deal he has a v8 and its a jaguar! not some 4 cylinday ricer civic lol

 

+1 to Automotib he is right if edmunds.com isn't enough try msn auto.com as well. MsnAuto says 3041lbs.

 

yes, ark has quality products. dont race the z, you will lose, race the jag from a dig and post the results.

 

=) ayt yea ill go against the jag and post sometie soon possibly this week........is it a pain in the *** to install headers too? i mean ive read some threads and it looks like people are sayin basically it is a pain in the ***!....i did my exhaust myself but that was a cake walk.

 

not to lie. yes. a header install is difficult because you cant see much and you are working in small area's. that being said, its definitely a doable mod. just need the time, a few special tools and the patience.
