Now in a Stingray, Z end of an Era

RN SHARK · 04-05-2019, 12:24 PM

ImportConvert has been balls out crazy for his little CX-5 on the forums recently. Let him have his time. Though he must think he is on a Mazda forum or something. I don’t know. Oh, and yeah, 250hp with AWD, that is about 170hp with AWD drivetrain loss. Cheers!

A CX-5 is a different critter then a Z.

Comparing the 2 is just fvcking stupid.

He misses us. But doesn't have a Z to talk about. So he wants to talk about his CX-5. And no one really cares. He has detoured 2 threads here so far.

Lol, I never said it was fast. Just composed. Its around 200whp, btw :P

Mainly, Im stoked over the level of OEM polish the thing has, not its raw numbers. Something the Z crowd can surely relate to with a 100hp deficit to every other car in the 370s segment...?

i dont like this tactic switch to flattery.........

regardless the comparison of an MX5 and Z is just ridiculous. obviously some soccer move SUV is gonna be "composed". it's not a sports car its meant to keep someones wife comfortable with a turbo 4 banger that she may never get into boost with.

Boost off idle bro...310# torque by 2k rpm :P

Anyway, no, its simply better composed. Same corners, same speeds, no sideways stepout like the 370z.

Speaking of absurd comparisons, this all started because you all were absurd enougb to compare this 370z with a c6 corvette, even saying "it drove like crap"... An even larger performance gap than my cx5 to your 370z...would be that c6 vs. the 370z. Huge gap.

If I was buying a Vette. It would be nothing less the the Z51. I'm just waiting to get the motorhome paid for so that I can get my Ferrari 488 GT3.

I thought the newer Stingray version of the Vette was a ladies car

Less power,narrower wheels/tires
