Should I get a Suburban or a GT500?... Why do people always want to compare cars that are completely different concepts? I see that on the forum from time to time and it makes no sense. If you are going to troll at least try harder!!

I test drove a 13 RT before I got the 370. Its a nice big muscle car and has quite literally NOTHING in common with a 370. I mean NOTHING. No offense to OP but...it handles like an aircraft carrier, the interior is sub par, and for 375HP, it really didn't feel all that quick.

Not to mention, 375hp is nothing for a v8 muscle car anymore. Hell, my NISMO makes 350 with a v6 and weighs about 800lbs less...

Mustang Boss 302 FTW!:bowrofl:

Money cures slow cars. If a FI Z is too slow then it's not your car...period! If 45K is nothing to you then spend a little more and get a Stingray with the Z51 package and call it a day, otherwise there are meds that will help you get through life easier. :tiphat:

We might know the direction of the next Z Fall Of 2014 or 2015 winter. But i don't see The Next Z coming out until 2016.

To the OP's defense, he didn't say 45 large was nothing, only he could afford it. A C7 will cost $60K out the door.

I own a 2013 Challenger R/T, and to be honest I don't know how you don't love the car? I think it's a splendid vehicle. It's a slowpoke compared to the SS, 5.0 and the 370z, but the thing is will you see those cars at every light? The 370 looks marvelous but to just give up on your R/T seems a little harsh, have you took off the resonators? Added headers or cams? The Challenger is slow but not that slow, just cause the above mentioned cars are 2 car lengths ahead of you doesn't mean your car is a slug. I can honestly say I crave more power at times, but then I'm reminded that the Challenger is quick for it's size and it provides me with the most comfortable driving. On top of that I don't get confused for a jackass in a 5.0 or a muchacha in a Camaro. If I have a kid on accident, I won't sweat it, the challenger can fit a baby seat easily. I'd wait until the 2015 Challenger is unveiled, there's going to be engine changes and a brand new interior. My brother is getting a 370z that's why I joined this forum, but from an R/T owner don't give up on your pig, the pig is vastly different from other vehicles, don't let people get in your head about horsepower. The RT was never in the game to win races, get an SRT Core or Super bee for 35k and call it a day.

You won't see a 370 at every light. I'm happy to see one once a week. :ugh2:

I wouldn't mind a Challenger if it didn't mean I'd have to buy a Chrysler product. Bob Dylan be damned, they are not allowed to build my car.

Pistons132 02-04-2014 12:34 PM

Lol, 370's are hardly seen, I was referring to the Camaro and Mustang. I love the 370's but at 23 with a long drive to work, I can't have one. Hopefully Chrysler gets better though, since Fiat just bought them. Well, bought remaining shares.

Yes Camaros and stangs are everywhere! Especially the latter. Doesn't matter if it's the 5.0 or a V6, to your average Joe public it's the same car which is what I hate about cheaper, reduced power models. :ugh2:

im so glad our cars dont come with all season sedan tires like theirs. lol

In Sacramento, everyone has a Mustang, or wants one. What do you guys think about the new C7? Looks anyways, cause performance is awesome in it. My wife's uncle ordered one, personally I don't like the back or the front. I still think the C6 is better looking, I even think the 15 Mustang looks better and I don't even like it. The Jaguar F-Type looks better than anything on the road, I seen one at Cal Expo this summer and fell in love.

I like the new C7. I would kill all of you for a F-Type. It just sounds evil.

kenchan 02-04-2014 01:27 PM

yah, the new stingray is pretty nice. not a fan of the tails, but ive not seen the car in person yet so i will decide wat i think about the tails when i do.
