Red = fastest color period.

Is that why you went grey with your Mustang? Couldn't handle the 5.0 with red paint upgrade? God help you if you'd had the GTR start button mod.

Dude I learned my lesson. 3000whp just isn't streetable.

i must have installed the GTR button incorrectly because mine only gave like 5watts at best... :confused:

:iagree:

you guys are nuts!!! the 350z is a turtle in comparison to the 370Z...the throttle response on the 350z is more touchy so it adds to the feel, but its a false impression. You dont feel the speed of the 370Z as much because its much more refined and smooth, the power band is excellent. But trust me the 370Z is way faster, the times speak for themselves... Especially then the 06 revup...the 03-05z had excellent torque...the HR was everything the 350Z SHOULD have been from the get go....As i remember it, the the revup engine was the slowest. I had an 06 and 03.

Hard to believe, but it is what it is.

Forget about feel and take them to the strip. I know 5 guys that come down to the track here and the 2 autos consistently run 13.1 - 13.3 and the highest trap I've seen is 108mph from an auto but usually its a tad over 106mph. Highest trap for the manual was 104mph and yes we all know how to drive and have been dragging for quite some time.

This I agree with.

Denial maybe? More like 0.2 - 0.4 sec. To any motorhead, like myself, that's a significant gap.

I agree with this mostly as I've owned a couple. The revup felt significantly slower than the previous models but it was faster after 100mph compared to the DE engine. The DE's torque was just fabulous though but lost steam upwards of 100mph. The HR was, indeed, perfect.....and not much different from the 370Z.

+1 on GZ3. I also miss the sound of the 3.5HR, the 370 sounds like poop.

lol

I doubt most would push a new car with a salesman sitting right next to them. I have NO problems with my 2010 40th 6mt. Response is great no lag at all. No clutch problems..

Two things:

1) One of the major auto magazines (Motor Trend, IIRC) timed the AT and the MT and the AT did in fact turn out to be slightly faster (00-60 time, again IIRC).

2) The idea that anyone is "settling on" an AT is pure :bs:. Just because you prefer an MT doesn't mean that anyone else is "settling" for a 7AT or that they are "halfarsing" themselves. I bought the 7AT because I prefer it for what I'm using the car for. And I definitely know how to drive an MT (damn near 40 years experience, I currently drive my modded '72 Corvette with a 383 when I feel like driving an MT). Your generalizations are pretty moronic. :gtfo2:
