Speaking of the GC SRT8, I "raced" a first gen one the other day against my 2016 Nismo. We were side by side at the lights. When they went green, we both started off civilly.. then we looked at each other and decided to punch it. We were probably rolling at 8-10mph and then both hit the throttle. I was literally side by side with him for the remainder of 1st, all of 2nd and a little into 3rd when we both let off. Side by side the whole time.

470hp sounds cool... until you realize it's moving 5000 pounds.

Jeeps are popular, and I think Fiat-Chrysler is the only company in the Big 3 to make a profit, or increase sales in the US. But Chrysler and especially the Jeep brand is always at the bottom of the reliability list (consumer reports, etc.). I guess Jeep owners don't care about lists.... until their Jeep breaks down

Maybe it was because it was a rolling start? Maybe he didn't floor the go pedal? I surely did. it was the original SRT8, not the current one.

Oh he was livid. But once he started explaining the story that it was his wife's DD and she drives like a grandma and it happened while STOPPED, they pretty much had no response.

Just thought I would come back in and update. I purchased a 2016 Hellcat about a year and half ago and stoked to even this day every time I drive it.
Lightly molded its putting 750rwhp and runs mid 10s quarter mile.
I have also heard there will be a new twin turbo Z coming out in a few year which I will say it's about time.
Hope you guys are still enjoying your Z's!!

So i made the mistake of trading my 12 nismo in for a 15 GT. Yes, it was fasted, but i regretted letting go of the car almost instantly. That electric steering plus the fact that its so heavy made the feel like a dream to drive. Long story short im back in a 12 nismo lol

I was really close to getting a 17gt or waiting for the 18gt before I got my 11 nismo. Ive always been a nissan guy but I learned how to work on cars with my uncles foxbody so ive always had a soft spot for mustangs. Ended up with the Z cause it very well may be the last generation of manual nissans. The subpar ford build quality and the MT82 problems was also a turn off haha.
