i was out cruisin a lil bit last night, and i saw a silver one. seemed like a cool guy. asked if he was on the forum and he said no. asked if he had anything done and he said he couldnt find anything that is made for it yet. we start rolling and we both go at around 35mph. i pulled about a car and a half from 35-60. my mods are stage 1 ecu, wga, and 3" turbo back. i then raced his buddy in a 350 z. pulled him by about the same amount. very cool guys. give u guys props for being a quick car. cant wait till u get more mods.

oh and how do u guys do against a 350 z. it seemed like i pulled them both evenly, maybe the ss a lil more but i'm not sure. i think that would be a good race.

I have seen SRT pull on supercharged & turbo charged 350Z & G35. From on a dig the imports pull but then the srt catches & passes. Sometimes I dont understand how the Srts are doing it, but they do... :D

No, I'm saying Dodge's SRT4 and Chevy/Saturns SS/Redline. It's soo great to go out and kick some 350Z, WRX, EVO, and other ass with an american made car.

Considering the SS is FWD as opposed to RWD, a 4 cyl instead of 6, and cost 10 grand less, I'd say the 350z is a joke.

Don't forget, the 350z is a fat pig too.

OT, Dres, what is a decent et for Mopar Stage 2? There is a guy on SCR that is stuck at 13 flat. He seemed pretty bummed about it too.

They might dominate in a price range of less then 23,000, but by know means do they dominate the 4 banger market!! That would be the EVO and STI that dominate the 4 banger market place for all out stock performance!!

I rule all Evos and Stis by me, and I haven't even invested enough to compensate for the price difference. Then again, I don't run into AMS's Evos on Friday night...

As long as my cars has a warranty I'll stay stock. How do you plain on stopping if you go balls out in a straight line, sooner or later you'll need something to stop ya!

FYI, import wars#4 is this Sat. night from 3pm-11pm. As always I'll be down :D

You guys are from CSC?

The guy I was talking about with Stage 2 SRT4 is from CSC too. His name is Marc. He has a red SRT4 with CF hood & trunk and black road runner stripes. He and his wife, Aprill, are awesome people. They know there shit about dragging too.

Marcos and April are great people. But April > Marcos when driving the SRT.

That's right Marcos, don't deny it. :)

The 350Z is like 400 more pounds then the SS... And there time's are VERY close it would be a driver's race.

Ive raced two ...and they both were almost exactly the same speed as me ...one from a roll I inched on him and hung.. one from a dig ...he beat me off the line after 3rd it was dead even him inching a bit (race from a dig was a convertble)

For your viewing pleasure :p :D ;) This is my friends 350Z, and he has drove my SS! Lets just say it made him really think about the 10K difference in price, especially since he has put close to another 8k in upgrades. Not to mention he really enjoyed grabbing rubber in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gear :eek:

32XX isn't bad for a 2 seater, with the base model down in the 3180's. You forget alot of that weight is the bigger V6 engine and RWD.

But the car is overpriced, with the 300HP anni. eddition going near 40K, you can get a 400HP V8 GTO that will run a 12.9 showroom stock for 33K, your going to pay near 40 to barely crack 13s?

Nah, when I met them 2 weeks ago, Marc said the same thing.

They were considering selling their SRT4 :eek:

They (like any car enthusiast) say they will sell their car all the time. Hell, I do all the time too. I love my car to death some days, and others I wish I bought an 04 cobra.

I say I'm going to sell my car too. I see a slow Impreza RS in my future.

I just need to have AWD for winter commutes to school and work.

if you really want to get in an argument thats fine ..I cant see many people not taking a 350z over a Cobalt if they were handed the keys to both ...(or an srt for that matter)

I'd take an SS over a crappy 350Z any day.

What's you point, that thread is in the gen discussion and is still in debate.
