hihihi rock on type R

sounds and look like an S2000 the camera car

[UKunt]

Yup it was . it said on there .

[CaLi4NyuH707]

I'd figured that the civic would win. Much lighter than the Z.

[EVILZ33]

musta been alota mods on that civic ive made walked s2k's on roll races and it doesnt make sense making a civic better than their flagship vehicle

[low_civic]

they was mods to the civic...that and the 350z was stock..

[MaleficZ]

yeah... its a 350Z. Put it on the track, and the 350Z would do better. 1/4 isnt where the Z was made to be.

[UKunt]

id same the civic would be more at home on track then a Z would be deffo.ive never see a 350z do well on a track.they weight to much.

[97talon]

Personally I think 350z's stock are over-rated. Yes they have potential when modded but there weight amongst other things holds them back.

[EVILZ33]

but for all motor what do you expect

[UKunt]

yer both all motor.i think a civic would still own a 350z on track.

[bballboy2819]

in the beginning it looked like the cars were going backwards

Stock to stock? I dont think so. Weight (or lack of) contributes hugely to track performance, but I dont think you are giving enough credit to the 350's strengths over a Civic. Far wider powerband, more peak power, RWD, better brakes, softer compound, wider tires, better aero etc etc. Its a faster car, and for the extra cost, I think you should expect it to be too.

Look at how SCCA groups stock class civics compared to 350z's: 99-00, 02+ civic si's are in H-Stock, which means that they are deemed to have parity with the likes of Geo Metros, the Ford Focus, Hyundai Accent and the Toyota echo.

The 350Z is in B-Stock, Porsche 911 Carrera 2's, BMW M-coupes, and Toyota MR2 turbos.

both cars run low mid 14.s at track.the civic is one of the best FWD handling cars.while the 350z is not even close to the best.and in the b-stock list. the 350z is not even close to any of them u named.maybe a gen2 mr2. but the others they are not.

[BOTLFEDLT1]

A civic may be the best handling fwd cars, but that doesnt mean that its faster than a 350z. Did you even look up any results from actual events before you said that the 350 isnt close to any of the other cars I named?

Here is one example:

The point is, the 350z is grouped with faster cars than a civic because in stock form, it simply is faster. If the civic was faster, dont you think they would have moved it up a few classes?
