Remember, most people are obsessed with straight line speed. So if they slap a turbo on their car, and then do some highway pulls and beat up on another car, they think its the greatest thing ever.

Yes it is when a V6 outperforms the king V8. Priceless to see that expression on their face when that happens.

and yes the mustang has better performance for the buck but there are sports car buyers out there that actually want a quality built car and not a POS ford.

I've driven the fast intentions twin turbo kit by the way and from my opinion and a few others the 350z/g35 is a better turbo option for putting power down properly.

i played with a C7 this morning going to work and i kept up just fine.

so either it's not that far ahead of me or the guy driving it has a wide set vagina.

all i know is at the one light the downshift with the straight pipes made him almost jump out of his little convertible

saw pure terror in that man's eyes. it was great.

I'll go with "wide set vagina" for sure. The C7 is a 12.4 sec car if not faster depending on tranny, options, etc. With your mods you are at 12.8 at best. Even if he got a bad launch he should still pull easily. Love our Z's but it takes no less than FI to give a C7 a run

lol " you played with a c7 this morning" I highly doubt he was trying to street race an automatic 370z. You should stick to mustangs and rice rockets because unless you're twin turbo you ain't keeping up with the big boys.

Enlighten me, how does the z33 handle boost better? Pretty bold statement, please elaborate.

Also are you referring to the vq35de or vq35hr? Please do elaborate, or piss off this forum troll boy.

67K is cheap?? Maybe I'm getting old but my first brand new vehicle I bought was a 88 Mazda B2200 pickup and it cost me $7800 bucks..... Now that is cheap.

well when the sticker of a 2014 Z51 3LT is around 73-78k yes 68k or less for one with 2k miles is not bad considering they've only been out about a year lol

Maybe you should use the term "Not as Expensive"

Still expensive but not as expensive.

lol
