the 350z and g35 would be a close race with their 6spd and the right driver. autos would be very close regardless of driver.

mustang gt's 05 and up have about the same hp as the 400, but less weight so will probably murk ya. any gt 04 or below should not, again heavy 4.6 with only 270hp, 96-98 is the same motor, but 94-95 have the 5.0 which is notorious for being very tough to beat.



you can race your friends to see whose car last longest. You'll win for sure

Alot of cars out there can be the GS400, it's not popular because it's fast...

This car is going to be used daily, however all my buddies have GT's and 350Z's and I'd like to keep up lol. I know alot about this car, i have always admired it and its owners, i love the VIP scene, however im tight on $$$ and just wanna know what performance mods really work and which don't.

Thanks in advance!
Check out my video lol to see how well it accelerates. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdbMws69W98
