but if your car is stock you do not know what you are talking about plain and simple. just because you beat some average drivers in your Z you think the Z is faster.....

The Z might be close to a SS. I have seen Youtubes of them racing and the SS slowly creeps, so put a driver in the wrong gear and the Z might win. I know I raced a 265whp 350Z (full bolt-ons/tune) in my WS6 and only put 2 cars on it 60-120, and have raced numerous '10 SS's in my WS6 and it was dead-even every time. The Z and the SS are driver's race with the edge going to the SS.

I sold my WS6 before I got a crack and a 5.0, though, or a 370Z. Sad about those 2 things.

3260-ish with the touring package, a little less without.

300+ pounds is "not far off"? Come on man, that's huge. Next you'll be saying that a couple of tenths in the quarter mile is just a couple of tenths.

No doubt 300lbs is a big deal. Just pointing out that it's not like the Z is weighing in a 3k with a 50/50. I also believe the mustang has some easy weight that can be shed though, while even guys in race-prepped Z's still mostly weigh in over 3150 lbs.

I dropped 50lbs by swapping out my mufflers.

I'll see your GT muffler and raise you a Camaro SS muffler.

They aren't trying to race you. They are just driving normally. That's just what a normal merge with traffic in a fast car looks like. :P

I caught it after the edit.

I was really surprised about the weight of those mufflers. Wasn't expecting it to hurt so much when it came down and hit me. They weigh 44 lbs a piece.
