Lost to a 350Z =(
So I was just cruising around heading home from class when I catch up to a nice 350Z. 350Zs have always been one of my favorite imports so I was just driving beside it, adoring the nice shade of blue. I didn't really have any intention of racing it, just wanted to enjoy the beautiful car.
Well I guess the driver thought I was pacing him, looking for a race so he rolled down his window. I did the same. He yelled something at me but I wasn't really able to make it out since we were going about 40 and it was windy. So I figure he wanted to race since the roads were clear and it was dry. I didn't want to honk just incase there were any cops in the area, so I wait for him to gun it. I hear him downshift (I love the 350Z exhaust) and step on it so I do the same. I start to pull on him pretty good and I thought the race was more or less over. I go to shift into third and unfortunately miss it pretty bad  I just gave up and let him go, I guess I need more practice with the LS1 shifter... Oh well, no shame in losing to such a sweet car.

Re: Lost to a 350Z =(
The 2-3 shift is easy to mess up on the F Bodies. The secret is to act like you are gripping a baseball and essentially push the knob into 3rd from second. You only have to do it at a slight right angle. It works for me everytime, and I can nail the shift in literally milliseconds. Now getting off the line is another issue

Re: Lost to a 350Z =(
Sorry to hear, bro. Atleast it was to your favorite import though
 I got owned last night at the track by a GTP(stock my ass) stock GTPs don't run 14.2 lol Anywho, hope everything works out with the shifting. I use to have a beast of a shift problem in my old chevy(truck) the shifter was almost 2 feet long, and the gears were spaced like mountains lol. Good luck to ya bro.
