Yup, I'm envious!!

I saw a Nissan 350-Z in Virginia today being driven by a man who looked to be in his fifties.

The personalized liscense plate said it all:

"Z AGRA"

Too bad it's almost anemic compared to the twin-turbo V12 Mercedes engines. I too will be sending my ECU & TCU to Renntech very soon. Instead of close to 600 lb-ft of torque, I'll have over 740 lb-ft of torque with stage 1 ECU.

Oh yeah,,,my Dodge Ram with Cummins power has over 800ft-lbs @1600rpm & smells like food... LOL

I too would be interested to see how the N/A V-12 does against the Cummins engine even with a much higher Cd.

In the 1/4 the truck may almost do it. But these cars are not ment for the 1/4. In an open road race not a chance the S600 would walk away. I can't imagin that truck passing the 150 mark, a speed the MB just glides by.
