My DD is a 2007 350Z great car but you wont have any trouble doing what my tags say to the Z or you could always let her win and it might turn out better for you in the end

OK- then let her win, by a few feet only.

Then with luck- she doesn't lose face with her friend who you are interested in. Then go in for the "kill" that matters

You won't have any trouble leaving her Z in the dust, but I wouldn't pour it on too bad.
