Yes it can. I've seen it up close & person.
My friend has a stock 350z, manual.
and another guy has a Shelby mustang gt or whatever, manual,
exhaust & i dont think anything else, and the 350z kicked his ass.
I've never seen the 350z loose a race so far.
Raced a honda with a k24 & turbo, beat him.
Raced a honda si, exhaust, headers, intake, - and beat him
mustangs- beat em.
im tellinq you. the 350z is intense.
my maza runs 14.7's. i think i wanna race him haha.
i'll loose =[
