What car's won't you try you luck against?

Had a couple of brilliant tear ups at the weekend... Just on the motorway,
70-100mph then after that slowly pulled away to about a 6car gap by again, silly speeds.

That was your own shut-off private bit of motorway at night time right? ;)
 
Yes the N has so much potential. Last try and success was an M2 comp in the borders. I guess the M2 will never have the same traction. Its fast sure. Just loses the back end like a fox body stang. :p

I am installing RallyFlapz today for that +100HP gain.

Disclaimer: Before you continue reading, I will say I love my I30N ;)....

My friend has an M2 Competition and unless it is very slippery the M2 wipes the floor with the i30N...
I have been tracking with him and riding in his car. It is insane with a good driver. Sorry to say it is in a different league.
 
I've seen this video many times.:p

Cold tires and complete embarrassment. Drop your chin to your chest and shake your head, then attempt to hide. Too much hubris with the right foot and not enough humbleness, gets you everytime.:D
 
The 2020 Nissan 370Z with over 330PS an 3.7 V6 RWD.

I30N smoked? Nope...

0-100 in 6.2 secs. I30N just as fast.

 
Spaffed all over an SQ5 driving home this evening and he was absolutely bloody livid. Granted not the fastest to go up against, but his angry face made me happy as he drove past me as I slowed down for the speed camera and he did not 😂

Wow, are they still knocking these out?! Who buys them?
I had a 350Z years ago and that felt old and slow even then 😄, see the 370Z has really progressed since then lol.

The 370Z, even the Nismo is anemic these days. The the photos of this model are just fugly!🤪

Nissan has held onto it like a pacifier. Nothing has changed in years, except the tech and not much there either. I enjoyed the Nismo when we had it but the Nissan service was absolutely horrendous.😖

would rather buy an R33 GTR for that price if it had to be Nissan lol
 
Hard to believe the Porsche GT4 even feels threatened and in need of a racetrack to give it confidence against the i30N!!
Lets be honest that is driver skill (or lack of), the new GT4 has done the ring in 7min 28sec, to put that in context its 4 seconds faster than the Carerra GT...😆
As with many of these 'interactions' it comes down to driver skill and how much that person want's to risk their car, not the actual car itself
 
So, as we all know the i30N is pretty rapid when it needs to be, but its not the fastest thing on the road.

Now with that in mind, what are the cars you'd pull up next to at a set of lights or see flying down winding road, that you just wouldn't try to race with/ keep up with or pull away from at a set of lights?.....not that we don't all at some point try regardless.

This weekend i was with a Mate who has a 2018 Mini Cooper JCW 231bhp... I thought my i30N would be a lot quicker, but was shocked to find out they were exactly the same speed.
I always beat him off the mark in a drag race (probably because of the Diff meaning i have more traction). But at higher speeds i could not pull away or gain on him. I guess its the i30N showing its weight.

i30N has more power to weight bhp wise. But the Mini has more power to weight torque wise.

Was a fun weekend ngl :)
