Split away... lol

So how do you like that Mustang? My buddy wants one. Shoot me a PM. :tiphat:

I noticed the sticker thing, too...but I actually think they only did that for the shot of the car rolling away. I'm certain they took them off before the lap began. It'd be a little silly not to.

slicker tires with stickers?

I know this is a Z board but really, some of the arguments here are a bit childish and bad. Unfortunately, I'm about to partake in such activity.

Not a direct quote but: "80 more hp and yet it only mustered a 1 sec better laptime"

Yeah, and 1 sec can mean several car lengths. With the competition this very close, a second is HUGE.

"Ya ya, if the Z was 400 horsepower like the Mustang, then the Z would destroy the Mustang"

BS. Same argument can be said here: Oh my. What if the Mustang was the same weight as the Z! It would destroy the Z!

Nissan needs people like us to criticize and complain about the Z's ongoing war with its ever improving rivals. Otherwise, if we just sit here and lie to ourselves that our Z is "faster" although, been proven false many times already against the 5.0 Mustang, then how can we expect the Z or Nissan to improve their Z cars more?

"v8 vs. v6. Ya of course V8 is going to win".
This is a track. Not a drag course or anything which the bigger horsepower car usually wins. Besides, 2007 GTR 480 hp beat the 505 hp Corvette and seems like no one was flailing about the V8 vs. V6 fallacy.
