Yup Red 370...it all started last night...went to the parents house and as soon as I drove up. My niece runs up and says "ur car is nice but my dad said his is faster" lol and I told her no its jus as fast. So of course she runs and tells her dad and him and my dad are jus laughin up a storm saying its a 6 cyl.

Oh man, i'd have a field day with them, you should invite me over one night, they'd probably be pretty upset, and I'd be leaving with a permanent grin on my face

Tell your brother to come to the drags next sunday, I'd love to say I shat upon an SRT-8!

Pointless debate - take it to the strip and settle it there... Well if driving in a straight line does it for you... but your car can do a whole lot more than his SRT8...

kgreen · 03-22-2010, 03:44 PM

Its not a pointless debate...I know my car is jus as fast and is a better all around. Just wanna hear other ppl point of views

shabarivas · 03-22-2010, 04:23 PM

no its a pointless debate sitting around at your house making claims... v6 / v8 makes **** of a difference... look at evos and stis - 2l 4 bangers put down 4-500 whp...

Honestly - if you took it to a real track w/ turns - your car will make his srt8 cry... who gives a flying fvck about a car that can go straight fast? its nice to know you have the ability to go fast if need be... but seriously? I am always amused by the people who spend countless time and money going from 11.01 to 10.99 ... to me thats **** of an accomplishment... but then again - i got this car to drive... not to impress other peoples fastest times lists...

Different strokes for different folks.... I can't knock anyone for what they like or how they prefer to drive their car whether it be fast in a straight line or through curves. If all opinions were the same, one vehicle could be made and everyone would purchase it. Anyways, I feel the same as the other guys on here. Convince him to go to the track with you to prove his cars worth in a straight line. Thats the only way you will shut his pie hole....

I work with someone who owns a charger srt8. On paper the 370z and srt8 has the same power to weight ratio. So just because it's a v8 vs a v6 is a flawed point.

shabarivas · 03-22-2010, 07:35 PM

Well... its agreeable that certain cars are made to be better at certain things... all im saying is... if you are so concerned about just the straight line speed - you should have not gotten a Z...

kgreen · 03-22-2010, 09:04 PM

damn bro im not concerned at all about straight line speed, nor did i get this car just to beat him or anything! its really simple, all i said was my car was just as fast! Stop gettin all worked up, i know why i bought this car and its abilities. if it really bothers you that much then u can always just....
