try taking that car autocrossing and tell us how fast that is now

im not trying to be an *** but i know people with hondas that run low 8's yet they arnt fast around the track...

lol, again bringing up points about using something it was not designed to do.

If you make a truck to go fast in a straight line, then that is what it is designed to do. Arguing about using it for something else and it not being quick is a moot point. These trucks are lowered with traction bars to eliminate wheel hop, tire pressure is lowered. Nothing about them is modded to help it make a turn at 120mph. Hell for that matter you could say the same thing about 6 second funny cars, "Well yeah its fast, but I could beat it around a track".

Trucks are good for whatever you make them to be, albeit drag racing, towing the boat/camper (or up in Alberta both at the same time), off roading ect. Mine is a good winter daily driver, 4wd and a bunch of torque and its a blast to drive in the winter. Its something that even if I wanted to I couldn't drive the Z.

If you make the Z into a drift car then you're not going to be the quickest in the 1/4 mile, because simply your car is not setup to do that.


I realize that this is probably a losing battle on a forum like this, but hey I need something to do at work. haha
