Is his car modded? If yes, then the answer is stay home.

Depends on your driving skils, what type of race and the conditions that determine which car will win generally speaking the Nissan is a faster car, but I have beaten many cars that should have been faster than mine[:)]

I really would think the Z would win. I couldn't find performance 0-60 numbers but check these out.

Z
Weight: 3474 lbs
Horsepower: 300 hp
Torque: 283 ft-lbs

320
Weight: 3265 lbs
Horsepower: 215 hp
Torque: 229 ft-lbs.

A little lighter but giving up A LOT in ponies. Plus, it's not like the 320 is a speedster anyway.

RE: Friend with nissan 300ZX turbo wants to race should I?

The auto TT, if I remember correctly, is low 6's 0-6 and the 5-speeds are mid-5's. Most of those guy increase the boost, so you'll get smoked.

I raced a TT auto and styed ahead until 80, then he started to pull on me...and that's with a 430.

I'd stand down.

Let him race a Civic. You're in a Benz, you have nothing to prove.[8D] Pull up to a club and just stunt.

Better yet, supercharge your benz, hand him his ass, and THEN pull up to a club.
