How did I do it?

This happened a couple weeks ago, on a friday evening. I was stopped at this light when a 300ZX pulled up next to me, and reved. I laughed because I didn't think I had a chance, but I'm almost always up for a race. So I nod at him, and take the rpms up to 4200, and the light turns green. I work the clutch out perfectly, and get probably my best launch ever, and get about 4-5ft on him. I keep that lead on him(plus or minus a little from our shifting, but it always returned to that after the shift. I stopped and hit the brakes at about 65mph. He had to be a NA 300ZX, but still I should have lost. I drive a '99 Mercury Cougar V-6 with a couple minor mods. A Borla exhaust, and a B&M Short Shifter.

maybe it was an Auto 300zx.

That does not matter. I have a 95' 300ZX auto trans. It's moded out now but when it was stock I spanked a couple of cougers. I don't know?! Maybe those few mod's pushed you out in front that little bit.:confused:

Could be a manual that he bogged off the line. It happens to me all the damn time. Can't figure out my friggin launch.

Ever consider he couldn't drive to save himself.... everyone misses that one..

Auto NA 300ZX is friggen slow though..
