I can hang with many v8 cars that test me. And the suped up honda guys need more supe to get with me so far... so why do people say the Z isn't fast? I compare the performance to cars under $50k and I think I'm doing good. And if y'all start comparing mustangs. Remember the only engine you can compare it to is mustangs 3.7, or a camaro's 3.6. Again, the Z is doing damn good... but enjoy the whip bro. Stay safe.

The Z is fast... where people are getting that from is just because these days you have the new mustangs running 12.2 or so? I think that's right. The times are lowering more and more... people forget when the old mustangs were considered "fast" and they would run low to mid 14's. I had an old 03 LX 5.0 and it was a really fun car... but in comparison to one of my old Evo's the 370z... hell even my MS3 was faster in a lot of areas.
You can take a car like the Evo or the STI and get the power and times to much lower levels than the Z because the Z isn't FI... and it's so expensive to do so.
For me? If I know my car can run a 12.5... i'm happy with that. It's fast enough when I need it to be. With all of the NA mods and some of the best drivers on here the best time is 12.2 and that's with gears and all of that. A turbo makes all of the difference.
Modded hondas are just gay ... I don't care if one beats me or not because he's still in a honda and it's still gay. Sorry if anyone here is a honda fan. I think they make great cars... but every SI driver out there thinks he's fast. My Wife and I's 09 MS3 SMOKED an SI stock for stock not long ago and I even missed a shift. It was amusing because he tried his best to get the jump on me lol.
