Its kinda interesting to read on other forums from people that have ran up against the z and their thoughts on it. A lot of mustangtech and ls1 threads. gives you a different perspective on our rides, while at the same time turning you into the worlds biggest supertroll. I did it and was entertained for about 30 min of reading...

I actually really liked seeing what the outsiders perspective on these things is

I did this, and it was funny. Most arguments go along the lines of the 370Z is slower than (insert car here). Then when somebody tries to come back and defend the 370z and compare a stock to stock they get flamed big time lol. Also noticed that there are a lot of ignorant people that claim to love cars of all sorts as long as it is a specific car brand.

Ok this has to be the best excerpt yet: "Too heavy?? What difference does weight make if the car handles??"
He was referring to how much more a stock Camaro (new body style) weighs compared to a 370Z.

the new camaro goes faster if you tape up the headlights. but tape adds weight so it wont work. better to just count slower so your trap is better.

Haha! thanks man! I've got something to read at work today. I've been hooked for the past 30 minutes reading about a Mustang guy who posted detailed stories about all 70 "kills" he had. Hilarious!!!

I know I probably shouldn't, but its very entertaining

He remembers each one with so much detail. He probably writes it down in his journal everytime he races someone

TBH, the new BMW M3 weights 400lbs more than the Z, yet I'm pretty sure it out-handles the Z, stock for stock.

I'm just gonna say what everyone else has said for a long time:

It's valid to compared stock to stock because it is consistent.

However, when modding plays a role...$$$ is the only limit and is pretty stupid to compare mod vs mod. I could put in $$$ for a K20A engine turbo'd on a stripped CRX chassis and it would probably smoked most cars out there on the road...but then it's not really a CRX. It's a 1000lb chasis on 400HP, gee I wonder why it's quick.
