Posters selling their Z for a GT

yea thats my point, people are talking about improving 1/4 time through the launch, and he's already pretty much doing it really well. i can't see him getting a better launch without shredding his axle or w/e. and even if he did, we are talking about a few 1-2 tenths, not like a second. so i dont know where people are gonna get off saying that are car is gonna touch the 5.0 on the strip

Well, mod-for-mod, it will never touch a 5.0 on the strip. But I think IF the drivetrain can handle a launch of MT ET Streets, he could shave 3 tenths if he can cut a 1.6x 60'.

pretty dam good launch, yes...i went to the mustang sites and geez allot of those guys are cutting 1.6 60' or better...dear god....i also wonder if the Z's rear can handle it... i mean our cars where built for track, 5.0 was designed by a panel of mustang enthusiasts geared fro drag...

Well, it was actualy built for both drag and track, but yes, the rear end in the Mustang is VERY tough. Those 1.6' 60s are probably with ET Streets.

So far the fastest stock Mustang is somewhere in the 12.4x @ 112+ mph zone. With an intake and canned tune they are playing in the 11s with a street tire and a solid launch. Emphasis on solid launch. As with all high-hp cars (Z included) it's all in the launch. If you can't get traction, or if you just suck, you're not going to be running those headline times.

Seriously, it's best to just give up the discussions. These things go on forever and we never get anywhere.

Well, at least there are some level-headed folk among us. Wolf

Indeed. I think it all comes down to what floats your boat. Some love their Z's, some love their Stangs. Some like Oreo Cookie Blizzards.

I would like to see how many of the new 5.0's running on the streets can take on my old (now my dad's) 575HP 610 Pound Feet to the ground 02 GT! That baby is a beast....

alright alright alright so in conclusion 370Z > 5.0 lol ahh good times

I know, ricer-math fail, on and on, but I was bored.

I bet you've never driven a Cayman S.

Have not. I agree with the next thing you are probably wanting to say, too, it's not all about power. Yes, yes, and yes. The Cayman S is an awesome car, but if the person I quoted is ONLY onsidering it because he is tired of the VQ, I think they would be sad at the lack of acceleration/possible loss of acceleration realized after their trade. The VQ (supposedly) sounds "harsh" at high rpm, but that's about it imo.

Also, the price-range they are looking in is mid 20's, which means one of the older Cayman's. Not the new one.
