I'm surprised you haven't started another 6mt vs 7at debate. And bro, why you mad?

Dude I beat hella american Cars at the track with cold air intakes and dual tip exhausts, and they have dog box transmissions and ladder bar setups and lsx blocks with l92 heads and twin 66mm turbos. Ask my mom she saw it all I had a video but it got deleted.

I know I have beaten a lot of cars at the drag strip because I go race there. The Internet is full of information out there and as I have stated two times above, all muscle cars are faster on paper. What I did say is the average joe, that's you and me there boys and girls, that race out there. I don't have a racing license or a sponsorship to say I'm a pro but I'm not a shitty driver either. Horsepower means absolutely nothing when you can't use it that's why they get beat. I ain't mad bro but dont insinuate that the Internet is always right. You are getting information on bias reviews.

IMO if you're comparing your Z to a 2011+ Mustang you bought the wrong car. You're going to lose the HP battle every time unless you're FI and he isn't.

Sure, a full bolt-on Z *might* hold its own in the 1/4 against a stock 5.0 with a sh*tty driver. So what? What happens when the 5.0 gets 300 series tires, control arms and a tune? You're comparing a V8 muscle car and a V6 sports car, two totally different types of vehicle.

If all you want is speed get a Mustang. Period. End of discussion. Want it to handle? Buy some coil-overs and brace it up; it'll wee-wee on your Z around a track. Need even more power? Add a Vortech and flip off the GTR drivers as you pass them.

Know why I don't have a Mustang anymore? Because they're all over the damn place and there's a lot more to owning a car than how fast it goes. I'm sure there are EVOs and STIs that can hand a Z its @ss as well, but at the end of the day they're still just economy cars with AWD and turbo.

If you can't appreciate your Z for what it is, sell it to someone who can.

Or you could just boost the snot out of the little bugger for the price difference considering GTs are now in the 40ks and Shir on it. But yeah I agree you buy a z because its a z not because its a small **** replacement.

I don't know if Vortech mustangs will be passing GT-Rs on the track. But yes, it is definitely faster than the Z stock and modded.

I haven't been in the BRZ/FRS forums, but other car forums I frequent regularly usually speak highly of the 370z. I remember I posted a picture of my Nismo in the Viper forum and everybody absolutely loved it.

I beat a viper at the track. Hey 6mt vs 7at what's better? I think 6mt is better because racecar.

Firebase99 · 11-05-2014, 06:01 AM

The '15 5.0's are HEAVY. I think C&D best time was 13 flat in the 1/4. The '12-14 are actually a bit faster. Thats a drivers race with a well driven Z.

Tadpole · 11-05-2014, 06:05 AM

Oh yea, and yes the autos are better. Or have you forgotten since you troll threads and don't even own a Z any longer. Way to go bro

Lol, you still running your suck? I didn't know I wasn't allowed in the forum anymore just because I sold my Z... especially since I paid to be a premium member for the entire 3+ years I've been on here, and the fact I always try to give advice when people are having mechanical issues. But I know you've contributed as well, by reiterating over and over in every post how great of a race car driver you are and how you've beaten every car at the track. And of course lets not forget, justifying why you bought an auto Z whenever someone mentions manual. I just moved last year from the Killeen area, but I tell you what... The next time I have a mission down at Ft. Hood, I'll stop by and give you a hug. You seem like you need someone to talk to. Feel better little buddy?

Always matching wits eh? Dude the a/t vs manual is just poking fun but the likes of you self justifying your membership here feeling entitled is annoying with your internet knowledge. All respect intended for my fellow veteran but you really dont want to give me hug. I can seriously hurt your feelings with what I can actually say to you if we met. Lets move on and agree we dont like each other posts much and leave it at that. Im done here.

So some kid posted on the GT86 forum "Would an FRS kick an Evos *** around the track if it had same WHP, suspension, etc...". Not exactly an 86 at that point. ******* dimwitted morons. I wrote 'Would an 86 kick an F-22 Raptors *** if it had wings and 70 thousand pounds of thrust?"

So he pretty much wanted to know if an evo with an FRS badge would beat an evo?

From my experience on that forum i'm guessing that some people legitimately took him serious and actually tried to make a case for the GT86 beating an evo?
