Why is always a Dodge Challenger ?

Ventruck · 08-14-2016, 03:57 AM

In the Bay Area no Challenger has given me s*** yet. Same goes with Camaro and Mustang owners. Not even Golf GTI/R owners try anything. At worst an Integ or Civic driver will act like they're keeping up on the highway, but that's just whatever.

Only drivers who seem to be legit bothersome are those who drive Prius and pretty much any economy car. They won't let me in their lane and ride my bumper at stop lights. It's petty stuff, but sometimes I legit have to gun it just to make the point "you're not fast; you're in my way" or something.

That Prius part literally happened for me today. I needed to change lanes and that butthead would not let me in.

Yup. Raced on in the quarter mile, killed it. Stock for stock the Z wins.

Also raced a stock G8 (won) and a FBO G8 (lost by a full car length)

They're so annoying. One was driving like a complete idiot around me trying to keep up. He turbo' his BRZ and still couldn't win in a quarter mile. 15k and still slow.

Maybe bad launch on RT's part or you raced an auto pre 2015 model. RT and Z are drivers race if 6spd or new 8spd auto. These cars are pretty even in the 1/8, but RT slight edge in 1/4 ( a little better top end then z)

So when I tuned my car there was a frs waiting to get tuned. Was like I'm hoping to get about 260 at the wheel? I was like Uh I baselines 280...

For the amount of money he spent on the car + kit + car (probably pushing his stock clutch too) he should of got a better car

Isn't that what 911 owners say about guys with FI 370s?

Price between frs and base z (well negotiated price) is around 2-3 grand.

Price difference between base 911 and most expensive 370z vert is at least 30-40k. Difference compared to 911 turbo= 2-4 new Z's

FI= 10-14k. There is your explanation

This was today. They all parked after I was already there. See unlike OP and some others I only make parking pals. Cayman is local but the other two I've never seen until today.

All in the same day makes me kinda look back on my decision because, like a number of people here, I was literally looking into those cars used as well (except Camaro more so than Challenger) while shopping for the Z. I think if I had more patience on a deal for a Gen2 Cayman S...I would've.

BRB parking pals

The thing is though, the Z still looks a lot better than the other two, especially compared to the Dodge. Too big, too bulky, too boxy, too heavy, too ugly.

Okay, I'll stop there.
