^^ True just trying to nip it in the bud :)

If you want to see the 12.9 slip for proof I have it posted in my Journal thead :)

Jesus guys, lay off the crack. I was in no way trying to dog anyone. I was actually giving props to the lincoln and One_Quick_Z. I mean come on guys, I'm a Z owner! Of course you wanted to defend the Z, yadda yadda yadda... I simply found a RECENT video that hasn't been posted 1,000 times (clear Z anyone?), and it was pretty impressive. It's amazing how debates start in just about every thread and of the simplest of topics. And then some people start expanding the BS and implying that I don't even understand drag racing when I haven't even said anything else?!?!?! I know what test and tune is. I know what bracket racing is; I've done it for over 10yrs. I grew up 5 miles from Englishtown Raceway Park in Old Bridge, NJ. I worked there as a kid. I've seen a 22 second Chevy Cavalier station wagon WIN bracket racing contests. And I've even won for my bracket once back in the mid-90's with my 300ZX. So I KNOW this video means nothing except the Z threw up respectable numbers and that Lincoln is badass (and OBVIOUSLY NOT STOCK). And for the guy who thinks a 290HP car vs a stock 370 would be a close race just because the closeness in HP, learn about power to weight ratio as well in addition to gearing and torque.

There's something I need to get off my chest here and I think this is the time to say it:

I feel a lot of people here are quick to jump to conclusions and attack people. I personally am hesitant to even post a lot of times because I just want to say something or ask a question and not get a wise-*** remark. And yes I know this is "the internet" and I certainly know how to take heat when it is due or in good humor. But people here are really a downer. I mean is it just me? Maybe I'm too old for this sh!t and I should relent back to lurker status and extract the useful info that is available here and remain a quiet member. When I owned the 300ZX the Z community was a lot different and there were a lot of cool people. Not much banter about a simple video posted up. I enjoy reading and learning about the 370Z here and researching mods... I think AK does a good job with this site and that is why I paid for membership but really the attitudes of some people here is pretty crappy.

Thanks and let the flames begin!

The economy is crappy. People are dicks when that happens. I remember how the forums were back a few years ago when the gas-crunch hit. I am just a **** when I'm hungry, though, lol. Economy doesn't effect me much currently.

That being said, post away. At least ONE person is likely to give you an answer worth having.

12.9 in your car at full-weight with 304whp is just fine. No dogging here. Just saying you didn't come CLOSE to that modded speed-yaught, lol.

hahaha economy not affecting me either and my belly is full. I think this thread is a prime example of what I'm talking about...A simple video post...

That "guy" would be me. Thanks for the education.

And so nicely done, in a post where your main point is about people being rude on the Internet!

On a related note, seriously, what is up with airplane travel? I mean, come on, they stick you in those tiny, uncomfortable seats, strap you in and tell you you can't go anywhere and serve you what is, possibly, your last meal! Am I flying to LA or dying at San Quentin?! :stirthepot:

I have to agree with you there. I've seen it too. Been on the receiving end, and I have given it also. But yeah, you would be correct.

Love how this thread is still going :)

Thanks for the props on the run, I was just making sure people knew that the lincoln had hella amount of mods done and was nowhere close to being stock :)

Did he have a roll bar or was that his last pass before getting kicked out?

yeah i noticed that too

:iagree::iagree::iagree::iagree::iagree:

No negative effects either with the economy :P

Gas always filled, Money in the bank for tires, and OOOOooo my BELLY...imma full :) Just ate lunch :P

How much is that flight costing? I bet the answer is a lot less than in the mid 90's, accounting for inflation especially. Airlines have been seriously hammered, financially.

Hehe. The point was that the OP was complaining about something so common that it's not even worth mentioning (like the weather or traffic, for example).

We already know people are more rude on the Internet than real life. Thus, it just makes for a stressful life if you're over-sensitive to what people say on the Internet.

Who cares?! :icon23:

Oh noes! A JPEG arse!

I'm pretty decent in person, but I still say what I think. Sometimes little feelings get stepped on. Noone gives a damn if they step on mine, so I really don't worry too much about it. Goose and gander and all that.
