I could care less whether it was or not,doesn't really matter to me.
I never said the 350z was an 06+,i don't know nor care what year it was.
I do know that i put an easy 5 cars on said 350z from a dig,whether that was driver error/mechanical error who knows.Fact of the matter is,it did happen.
Also,IIRC,Nino was running low boost that night.
Which is 10 psi,and he puts down around 240whp on low boost.
Sure it's possible to beat a 350Z from a dig if the driver isn't good, and vis versa. But, when you race from a roll, the launch doesn't come in to play. So the car with more power to weight ratio is usually the winner, hence the 350Z. No stock WRX is going to beat a 06+ 350Z from a roll.
And, 240whp is not going to pull a 350Z like that. That looked to me like 300whp in that Civic. My 240SX put down 240whp on the dyno, and I can pull a little bit on a new 350Z (maybe a car). Considering that that Civic is a coupe, there is only 100lbs. difference between the Civic and my 240SX. No 240whp Civic is going to freight train a 350Z like that, unless it's in a CX hatch, and even then it still won't be that bad.
Oh, and for the record, I've been called out on spray on 2 occasions. One from a SRT-4 I beat, and the other from.... you guessed it, a Honda owner (RSX Type-S).
