saw the Stillen thread on myg..... LOL... :ugh2:

Actually I like a lot of things, Audi R8, most Ferraris (except for the california cuz it's junk), Carrera gt, 911 gt3 and gt2, bmw 3 series, aston martin (though it would help if all their models didn't look exactly the same!), lambo, GT-r, etc...

No one can deny that corvettes are very fast cars. But no one can deny they are built like crap too. Over here the cheapest base vette has an msrp of about 67k. That's more than a fully loaded 335i and actually pretty close to the M3 price. Pretty inexcusable to charge so much money while offering such a poor quality fit and finish. Nissan updated the interior significantly for the 370z even as its price dropped relative to the old car. Couldn't chevy at least put some effort into improving the vette build quality?

I know I know, we just like giving you a hard time. :stirthepot: ;)

As far as build quality in the chebbies goes... the are actually well built, it's just the choice of materials and overall design of the interior. It LOOKS like a $50k car from the outside and by all means performs and drives like one, but it's like the designers just gave up on coming up with something nice for the cockpit.

I suspect, though, that whenever the 'Vette gets its next refresh the new cockpit is going to be nice. The newer GM vehicles are getting pretty nice now on the inside (ever sat in one of the new Buicks?), so I think the Corvette will get a much needed makeover on the interior.

I believe there has only been one time posted faster than a 370z engine and it was a 13.1 (we have 13.2 or .3 stock with forum members), and that time posted has never been done again, next best time in the list was a 13.3/4, but this discussion is for another time/place.

I am on that forum only to view the Texas regional section so I can see what shows, meet ups, etc. are happening. Many of the guys are coming here to post about them now so I can go there less and less. :)

I don't know if you frequented some of the Mustang forums within the past year or so, but theres been some hating in regards to the new bodystyle Mustangs. Seems for the most part the 94-04 guys like the new style but all the people with 05-09 hate it. When I was looking back in September there was really some hating going on.

my350z use to be this way back in 02-05 mostly. Then after 05 it started to go downhill. This site will do exactly the same like all sites do when the cars get cheaper for kids to own them.

I would love to see a FAIR race video between both cars though. As the one I saw on there the 350Z HR had a passenger and a poor driver shifting slow. It would have been nice to see what would have happened with both those corrected.

name a forum that does not have a bunch of douches and ill buy that car right now just to be apart of that forum. the370z is good so far, but with time and as more and more people get 370s, the site will start to change.
i dont care either way, DBags and the tard and flamers make for epic internet lulz. I <3 my350 and the370, but i really love how the370 isnt IB owned :happydance:

The distance between the cars at the finish negates the added 105 lbs of the passenger, so thats a moot point. The driver is also an avid dragger like myself, im sure his shifts were where they needed to be. The fact is, the better car/driver won the race, that simple.

This is the ONLY site I've paid for a membership. 350Z-Tech doesn't require fees at all, and that is my favorite site.

:iagree:

Its not easy to tell in the video, but the distance between the cars was 5 full lengths, and I was pulling further and further, he gave me the props after the race, and now hes currently in the market for a 370. BTW, check the thread, i joined just to make my presence felt, got a little aggression out.

Just a FYI. I ran 13.8 at 103 mph in my NISMO Z. And that was with a poor launch and not very good shifting. The car is faster than that. And per that time, it's faster than your track time.

All depends on the drivers, conditions, and so on. Make it equal, do a race with no passenger. A Passenger can and will make a good difference in time between having one and not even for 100lb.

Also just to mention, the DE guys use to do the same thing to the HR guys. Saying their car was faster than the HR when it wasn't. That kept on for like a year or so, and still does in some cases on the forum with the Douches. Now they are blaming the HR people for their arrogance because of this history.

heres an idea Nismo, buy a 370.

That's cuz we haz more torque than the HR guys, and I'd rather have that. :stirthepot:















j/k :tup: I never got that whole DE vs HR thing. I never cared. It's still a VQ.

I just sold my NISMO 350z for a better daily driver. Once I pay down some stuff, I am going to pick up a Z32 TwinTurbo. :)

I agree. It is still a VQ. But they kept saying oh the DE has more TQ, oh I have beaten many HRs, and so on. They kept being in denial that the newer HR engine was faster.

like most of you put it, as the car cheapins so doesn the site.

Iv been a memeber of my350z for 2 years and seen it change in just that short time.
This site will end up like that over time, its unfortunate.

Damn kids and their music!

Youth or how cheap a car is has little to nothing to do with the maturity of a community.

I was a member on a G5 forum (and a Cobalt one) for a long time. Those are cars that attract young kids -- and yet the community was fine. Hell, NASIOC is great too.

I don't mind people being passionate about their cars, that is okay.

It does annoy me when they are ignorant and try to spread that to others. I also can't stand this:

Ibtl.

This thread certainly is taking that turn isn't it?

Not really. The thread was about my350z, and it slowly graduated to Z enthusiasts that seem to segregate their cars. Is that a bad thing to discuss?

Yeah, I know that! But I also know that AK and the moderators here will not stand for stuff that happens over other sites. ;)
