I kicked the crap out of a 2.3 Z3 in my AE. I was taking a friend for a ride, because he'd never ridden in my AE. Came up to a red light, and there was a Z3 in front of me. The light went green, he took off kind of slow, but I was right on his ass, so he punched it. So I punched it, still in 1st, halfway through 2nd I had to slam on my brakes, because I was going to rear-end him. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif I easily could have passed him. My friend was pretty impressed. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

All you turbo guys that are scared of the z3 are kidding right? The Z3 is slow, we're not talking M power here...just regular lil z3 POS that I never liked because its a cheap knockoff of the real deal, the MRoadster which I cruise in every so often because my friends mom has one and when she goes on vacation we take it for a spin, lol. We raced the M roadster against my buddy's '91 turbo supra, the supra beat it...and all it had was exhaust, intake and boost controller @ 11psi, so I know a T2 would roll w/ an M, and if it would roll w/ an M, it would stomp the Z...

Oh, just for validation reasons(not that I think any of you don't believe me), but I found a pic of my 2nd gen next to my friend's mom's Mroadster:



I also have video of us out cruising in it, but dont have a way of uploading it to my PC...

yeah, I frightened a yuppie in one of those Z's a while back, there was a stretch of road that was all twisties, lots of fun, I was just cruising, enjoying myself, when I realize I am riding the bumper of a newer black Z3, I suppose he got on it, because I had to push the accellerator to keep up, we ended up doing about 60 in a 25 zone, and try as he might, he couldn't shake me, he finally gave up when he started to spin, and had to back out, of course, I was sliding as well, but, well, yeah, I am used to it, I just compensate, and deal with it, makes it more fun.
