Hello! New Z owner- From Camaro SS to the 370Z

Dante Rising · 11-08-2012, 06:36 PM

thanks! I forgot to mention one other....er...."benefit" of owning the Z. A neighbor several doors down owns a Black Dodge Challenger R/T. Every since I purchased the Z he keeps revving his engine as he passes my house.

He has asked me to race twice already, but I always turn down such things. Even in my SS. When I asked him why he suddenly has the urge to race me, as he never showed that desire when I owned the Camaro he said "Because you went from a muscle car to a sh!tty rice burner. I know my R/T can't take out an SS, but it will mop the floor with your Japanese junker."

Sigh.
And I actually LIKE his Challenger!

I love that your neighbor is giving you crap when he owns a land yacht on wheels. I wouldn't be shocked if next year's Challenger comes with dualies to handle its insane weight.

He's a nice guy, but he is all about muscle cars. I have no problem with that. I will say that I'm sorry to see that the Japanese have moved away from true mid-priced high performance cars. There used to be the Toyota Supra, 300ZX, Mitsubishi 3000GT, etc. Now it seems that only Nissan carries the banner against the Big 3 muscle cars.

In regards to his R/T, after a little research it looks like the 0-60 and 1/4 mile times are in many instances below the 370Z. I didn't even bother to look at what happens when you place a few curves in the road.

And pictures don't do justice to how gigantic the Challenger truly is. If I parked next to him I think my car would be in the shade all day long.

HA! Far From a Rice Burner! It's called a SPORTS CAR

And he absolutely will not MOP any part of your Z unless he is modded

Ehh... I really like the new challengers/chargers too, but actually you have the advantage.
