If you want to argue with someone over why they beat an F-Body take it to PM.
Somebody close this thing down.

No, I do not love F-bodies. I traded my F-body for a 4-cylinder Infiniti. Hate the cars. However, I wanted to know if buying a Z would be a trade up in performance or not. It appears that mainly I would be gaining quality/luxury and breaking even with performance. You are right, though. I don't want to have another mid 300bhp car. I am ready for a bit more. Nothing against the Z, though. I drove a few, rode in a few. Nothing bad to say about it other than it is working with a late 90's engine. It needs a late 2000's engine.
Was not arguing with the man about his races at all. He didn't claim to beat it, he claimed to be equal with it. I can belive that. I barely walked a 265whp 350 in my WS6. Slow 2-car pull to 120 or so. If his 370 is a stronger one making 280 or so, yeah, sounds about right given my experience. I do think the Z has a much more effectively geared transmission, though. The double overdrive kills the LS1 cars after about 130. The Z can keep on going in the meat of its powerband.
