The only time I even came close to him is when I had a procharger running 7psi with his less than 1k in mods he still raped me in short runs but at high speeds they bog down with a top speed in the 120 range. And all you guys thinking your so mature with a 30k sports car need to get over yourself look around 70% of people spend 30k plus on any car now. Hell for 40k you can get a 1 year old elise that will aesthetically rape our g35/350. Just get tired of hearing how mature or grown up the g35/350z makes someone feel or think they look. And for the people who say its a f-150 thats like calling a EVO a lancer either way you'll get WORKED like a rented mule by both.
Get what works for you if not the lightning try the SRT-10 it even has 4 doors and with a boost you looking a 750hp. She has a heavy a$$ but with some mods and that viper engine watch out.
Easy choice if you need towing or hauling.

I'd bet the original poster hasn't been on since then.

well you can get a new z than a lightning because the lightning isnt in production anymore. and to be honest they're really not to fast. unless you mod them they're only marginally faster. when i had my mustang i would walk them all the time..... and altho my mustang was faster than my z. the z is way more fun so id go with the z unless towing things is a big part of your life
personally im not a truck fan... so my honest opinion about the lightning... pretty ugly... besides, i see em down at the 1/4 mile allllllll the time, im yet to see anything to impressive... i would say z for sure, unless your actually going to need as truck

I got spanked by a modded lightning. It spewed so much black smoke it looked like a diesel. I havent gotten the chance to take one out but i would probably trade the z for a lightning for a day or two, but i dont think i could give up the z permanantly for a lightning
