Yeah the Aventador is so sick. TT would be ridiculous. The koeniggsegg Agera R has like 1115 bhp with a TT v8 I think. Now that is freaking insane :eek:

well if you can get 1000 HP from a 4.5 TT V6 Z then I don't want to image a TT 6.5 V12 :roflpuke2:

Imagine driving through heavy traffic in a car like that. The tiniest push of the pedal will send you flying.

Its ok kids. I did not need a driving school for the Jeep. My mom can get in it and blow your little 370s off the road... in all fairness she drives a C6 daily so shes not quiet an amateur driver. But that is my point. Anyone can drive the Jeep fast. Its all wheel drive and pulls well. I had an 04 Viper before I got the Jeep and it was a different story. Thats why I took the driving schools to learn how to drive the car. Eve with the school I could launch much harder in my Jeep than the Viper... traction and gearing made the difference.

Most people (especially kids.... and by some of the childish comments in here I can see some of you are) buy a car that is too much for them to handle. They think they know everything because they read car magazines. Well I run into poor drivers all the time and usually beat them because they cant drive what they have. Just because a magazine gets a time and trap speed on a car doesnt mean its going to run it everytime. Those are professional drivers and get numerous runs on the car to get those times. Real world driving is a different story. There are exceptions... I chatted with a guy who was getting high 10 second runs in a Gen III Viper. I didnt beleive it because the best times I had seen where in the upper 11's. Well he actually was getting it consistently because he was an exceptional driver adn is widely known throughout the Viper and Corvette community (he owns Vettes also).

My point is just because you have the car doesnt mean you can get the performance out of it. Obviously this Mustang owner didnt because I did pull on him... not saying I m a better driver or have a faster ride but I did. Wether you choose to believe it I really could not care. I do think its funny though that you guys are ragging on Chrysler though all while your in here defending Ford... both American made and you all drive Nissans. LMAO! Kids these days...

part of the equation is how much wear and tear you are willing to put

on your car.

We raced sidecar motorcycles for hire back in the day.The big prize didn't

go to the newest fastest vehicle, but instead to the guy willing to go for it

no matter the potential damage.

My Z is a DD, so ....

Last time I checked, the overall build quality on Ford's vehicles were better than Chrysler and Ford didn't need a bailout from the US Government like Chrysler.

This kid with a 7AT 370Z can probably stay relatively close to your Jeep in a 1/4 mile. Throw a curve in the road and I might have you. How do you expect anyone (including us kids) to learn to drive a higher performance vehicle without buying one? I'm not gonna learn to handle a 370Z or any other high performance vehicle by being able to handle a 6mt civic or something.

inb4 truck lover is all "lol like you have a GT-R"
