I wish I could throw in the GTR or Z06 into my conversation, but those cars are out of my league.

Here you go,
This is in the red (super advanced group, mostly it's instructors in this group)
See the names Chris, Len, and Martin:

This is from this past saturday at Willow Springs International raceway.
Chris drives a ~stock 350(no turbo no supercharger) and Martin a nearly Stock 370. Neither guy has anything besides boltons, 2 ways/cambers, LSD, and RS3's/Nitos. Len has a heavily modified 350 (full race car basically). These guys are competing with every car imaginable: GT3's, Evo's, STI's, Z06's, Lotus, 911 turbos, decked out M3's, you name it. They are pulling times like that with no turbos, no tunes, just good tires and suspensions/LSD's. If you don't know willow these are professional driver times.

So I ask you, what are you talking about? If you are asking the crowd if a 500 whp evo/sti will beat a 370z in the quarter mile then, yes the 370z is slow and no fun and sucks at racing. But on the track with someone that knows how to drive it's a damn fast car with a few minor upgrades <$5K.
