You're right. However, I fail to see how your car comparing with a teenage girl-mobile on the track stock for stock reassures you.

I dont need reassurance, I dont, worry about v6 Mustangs. Its funny when you make a little joke on here and people get all pissy.

I'm not pissy about it. My whip has over 500 horses. That makes my manhood a baseball bat! My ls7 assures my manhood. Fast, powerful, hung like bull. All thanks to GM :)

Again, I'll say that 300 hp is fast and fun performance.

But I agree with the idea that if you're a performance nut, and you want to compare with the Joneses on performance, the Z is going to lag behind.

I'm not saying the Z's a bad car. I love it, baby, love it! But if you care about speed/performance numbers, you will not buy the Z based on its competitors, and since it's a performance car, that does not bode well.

Moar Power, less weight, tech toys. That's gotta happen imo.

Hey guys, don't get too pessimistic. Look at it like this. The difference between the gencoupe and Z currently in RWHP is only about 8hp our advantage. Our weight about 100lbs our advantage. Yet our accelrations compare like we have a 300lb advantage and 50rwhp more. So this SC may only break them even with our 7at's which are our fastest accelrators. The SC may give them an advantage up top, but we may be able to run, considering the lackluster current platform? The current gen can't keep up with our stock cars with full bolt-ons and a tune. So the SC will be hard at work. I'm not saying we will beat there SC car. I'm just saying that it might not look like that much of an advantage compared to there power gain. GTM BETTER START GIVING SOME VALUE DEALS! LOL.

PS. I accidently made a second thread on this subject. Please forgive me. :)

I love the Z06 but everyone seems to have one these days. A supercharged genesis coupe will put out about 333hp at crank.

370Z's were produced something like 5:1 to the Z06 for the last few years from what I gather on the production #'s.

Probably true, but lots of non-Z06 vettes are on the street too. Most people can't tell the difference and don't care.

+1, but in the end, screw that. Didn't buy it to be seen in it. Bought it to drive! :driving:
