Isnt the 350 lighter? Aside from weight whoever doesnt blow the tires off should have the advantage, how well do the 350's handle in the twisties?

I don't know. It would be close, but I'd think both of you would lose when said wife drives by in '03 Cobra.
And it's droid#83853 FTW! View attachment 395921 Tell 'em about the new Imperial Blaster he just won Johnny!
You'd lose to a 6 speed Z pretty bad, and I think you'd lose to the auto one too.
Let's see...
He's got 287hp to your 260hp.
He weighs about 240lbs less.
If he can launch he would get you from a dig. And depending on how well the transmission shifts while at speed, into it's powerband, he would get you from a roll as well.
He would have killed you in the "twisties" as well. Both stock of course.
I also noticed that the base msrp for an '05 350Z is $105 less than base msrp for an '01 GT convt.
I think that covers everything.

So a buddy of mine has a 350Z and he is always saying he can beat the GT I used to own... Since I do not own it anymore it is impossible to just "take it to the track" so bench racing is our only recourse
I told him he would lose from a roll and even worse from a dig. Both cars are stock.
He would have won pretty comfortably and I now own the car
The auto kills the performance of this car, at least in stock form. Btw its getting 4.10s and a j mod soon, that should help some, not to mention the new t-trim. Even with the t trim its still a pooch off the line. My mom had a G35 coupe auto and it felt alot quicker than the 01 GT did when I first got it.
here are some pics for ya since its been a bit since youve seen it.
and the money shot

darkshadow, what emblem is that on the side? It looks like an ancient Ford hood badge or something.

They are a reproduction of original emblems from a 1965 Mustang GT. I got them on ebay. The rear supercharged emblem under the Ford logo is off a Cobalt SS.
When I had my 01 gt I raced a 2005 350z 6 speed with a cold air and a exhaust, I had 4.10's, X pipe, K+N, flowmasters ( add nothing there) and sct2 91 octane tune and I walked him three straight from a roll... I would say that 350z was a 13.9 car or so.. I would say the gt and 350z are a toss up in a drag race judging by that and what i have seen at the track and on there forums.

Guess I have to mention this again, I've been racing my good friends 03 350Z at the track for 3 years.
Both stock I would take him to the 1/8 but after that he'd walk me. From a roll, NO CHANCE for the GT.
We both have mods now. Roll or dig I win and thats still with my stock gear.
The auto 350Z isn't much slower than the stick. So to answer your question, Z wins.

I can 100% tell you for a fact that this GT would have lost easily to a 350Z auto, stick, from a dig or roll.
The auto in the mustang stock is a slug compared to most other stock auto performance cars. You can get the 4r70w to kick butt but it takes some extra $$ to do so. I got a quote for a 3500 stall converter, modified valve body, refreshen the trans, and trans cooler for $1800 installed.
