And you've been a member here since June '09. One would think you know better by now.

Live axles may not be the ideal road suspension, but on tracks, they work so well that ford didn't can them. Mustang track times prove that.

Gencoupe reliability in my point has no bearing. Im just saying. 250 lbs and equal rwhp, the gencoupe against a G37s has a slightly more athletic over the G and you can feel it. The Z is way better than both and I wouln't try to compare them beyond a basic level. Just saying.

If you didn't realize I was trolling a little bit, I'm not sure you even read the previous page.

Read the OP; there were stages to the car evaluation. They were supposed to evaluate their looks and feel alone, then drive them. They were probably looking for people who fit their guidelines more than Kenny did (i.e. people who would look at the many sporty cars there and think they're cool and affordable, perhaps the Z fans would be kicked out because of bias, which should be a given).

Also, is it really necessary to triple post?
