Fair enough.

But let's be real here, in regards to the comment above, the Challenger is not the epitome of technological advancement, it's just as outdated as a Z. It's advantage is that Chrysler keeps updating it with gigantic engines.

I'm not suggesting it is the epitome by any means. But comparing Dodge's advancements on the Challenger to Nissan's advancements made on the Z over the last nine years, Dodge looks like the fuckin Soviet Union in the original space race and Nissan looks like a non-participant.

I wasn't directing that at you. I was referring to this comment

Yea, thats how I see a Z now. Adequate at best with 9 year old technology so my advice to you is get a GTR. Nissan has done little to nothing for the Z and it shows. Enjoy driving a car that once was phenomenal but left behind
This makes me infer he thinks the Challenger is so much more advanced. Especially with his advice of just getting a GTR because it's adequate at best. Maybe it's just how I'm interpreting it, but all I'm saying is it is just as ancient. Advantage, engines. We all know that's a Nissan fail. That is the only thing that keeps it in the game against Ford and Chevy. Aside from that, the Challenger is barely adequate against the Mustang and Camaro.

Adequate at best is the Challenger against the Mustang and Camaro.
FWIW, I inferred that he was comparing the advancements in the Challenger to the advancements in the Z over the past 9 years. For which there is no comparison. The Z seems like Nissan's red-headed step child at this point.
