Uhm the Z just let him past, clearly. Why is this still a thing?

I couldnt hook up with a GT but the 305hp v6 one had to do. It's an a$$ whoopin.

This was last night at San Antonio Raceway.

Research will also tell you they were having issues getting a clean lap on the Nismo before the wreak. Comparing MT times on MRLS between the new STI and the Nismo gives a better comparison time. It's not perfect, but if you look at the new STI time at VIR, it will be a good indicator of what the Nismo could have ran. No excuse for piss poor pads, fluid, and oil temps.

Nope. Like I said, not a perfect comparison, but very very close.

Quoting any car magazine for fair and just test is like quoting Fox for real news. Just saying, whatever car supplier pays more money to the mag, will get the better reviews. We all know how Nissan feels about the Zed.

im sure nissan paid them to put the gtr that low as well lol are you in denial that bad?? have you raced a 5.0 or driven one. its not slower than the z or that much worse in the turns. it is what it is sir. if you just wanna haul *** then sure buy a mustang but i still pick the Z over anything. i paid 26k for a fairly new z with everything but leather, bose, and navi. The drive feels much better than anything else in that price range. The mustang SHOULD out perform it. its a modern v8 coupe with 90 more hp. at least we can keep up with a stock one and look better doing it IMO. but saying that mustang boys are just mad because they cant keep up in the turns is pure ********. those days are over and those ******** are beating us lmao

I'm not a Mustang fan by any means, but the GT RTR and Shelby GT350 look very promising. Both are to debut in a few weeks.

I would not call 80k cheap. Let's call it a good value for the money.
