It's a battle of Japanese icons in this battle of 350Z vs Civic hatch. Jorge Torres and his heavy but powerful Nissan 350Z go head to head against David Cortes and his light but lowerpowered Civic EK track car. Each has one side of the speed equation to their advantage and one side that is holding them back. With this combination, it’s going to come down to driver skill to find the winner.

As always with “Driver Battles,” these cars are pretty far from stock. Starting with Jorge’s 2005 Nissan 350Z, he has a stock block with a Vortech supercharger, Deatschwerks 600cc fuel injectors, Nismo exhaust, uprev tuned to 91 octane, Feal 442 coilovers, Rays Nismo 57CR wheels and 275/35R18 Nitto NT01 tires. David’s 1998 Honda Civic EK hatch has also seen its fair share of upgrades, with a Greddy turbo kit, 440 RC injectors, a Hondata S300, Riaction coilovers and 225/45R17 Nitto NT01 tires.

With a whole day on the track and tires that don’t fall off, both Jorge and David have plenty of time to find extra speed on the track in this battle of Z vs Civic. It’s all going to come down to who can best save time in the corners and keep their foot down in the straights.
