funny, how 'getting rid of the spare tire' is a good way to lose weight for cars AND people...

Its a relatively new concept this whole "stickercharging" thing. Its like turbocharging or supercharging, but way better

I 100% agree with you.
even the buggati veyron has a hard time keeping the fastest road legal production car title.( the ssc ultimate aero) so then buggati says lets make the buggati veyron supersport to beat the ssc's top speed and succeeded; now theres an upcoming ssc ultimate aero 2)

it really is; get what you pay for. and what you want to pay for.

^^ while i agree with what papo is saying.. No one is really bitching, but discussing our deceptive power band, and cars that you wanted that are faster. But you settled on the Z, and why? It has been a fun discussion, and i think we can all agree that the Z is undeniably a bargain for what you get.

Oh come on now. Those SRT-4's are the best cheap speed I know of. They run 11's@120+ with just a few cheap mods and I have only seen one break at the track. It was working again by sundown. Definitely "cheap" cars, but cheap fast cars with good drivelines.

I firmly believe my X gf was the cause of my loss to the only F-body that ever beat me on my 20 mile privately owned, back-yard 2-lane testing ground.
