That being said, i wouldn't mind if there was some more pull at 2500-4000
For the most part, I agree with this. Just carting around town in moderate traffic, I don't need the thing to pull like a tractor. Just want smooth cruising. When I want to play, or when I feel the need to get from 55 to 85 in a blink, I downshift and gas it, and the engine sings me a song, my heart races, and I find my happy place (the only happy place I have that doesn't involve some sort of sticky sex act or dolphins -- don't ask).

Yeah, the car is fast, you just have to rev it up to get to the power. It doesn't have the "power on tap" like a TTV6 or V8, but it's still got juice when you want it. Probably one of the reasons you can easily average 20mpg or better with city driving if you stay out of the power.

Better yet... a Cube.

OP... no matter what car you have, or what you do to said car, there will always be something faster. Just enjoy it... :)

funny, one of my coworkers feels the same way about his 08' Roush after getting his ass handed to him on an abandoned air strip by me :)

Hes trading his in for a fully loaded 11' 5.0, cant say I blame him.

I previous car made around 400+ HP. First thing I said to myself, after driving the Z, "It's kinda slow", but truth be told, this Z is one of the most enjoyable car's I've driven.

LOL OF COURSE YOU CAN'T... You were probably racing him just to recruit him into your seedy little world of '11 Stang GT's. Don't lie. :bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl:

haha, to be honest, he was running his mouth at work for a few weeks straight, talkin about how his is making 450whp with his CAI/Tune, always driving past me revving his crappy flowmaster exhaust, figured i'd take him out and humble him up a bit. He was so pissed afterwards that he sat on the tarmac for an hour next to his car sulking like a lil beotch. Came to work this monday and said he was trading it in for a Brembo 3.73 Premium GT, I LOL'ed.

I got scatted on by a nasty Turbo Neon as well when I had my Z, found out the guy was a soldier about two weeks later and was making 500+whp. Asshole. But in the end, a neon is still a neon, 500whp or not.
