There is no difference in acceleration. They basically weigh the same, have basically the same amount of power (hp & tq trade off between non-revups and revups), and everything else is the same (for the most part). Please let this thread die. And quit quoting stupid magazine/internet times. If they're that close, it basically means it's a drivers' race.
TARGET350Z - My first time ever at a track was this past summer. I had no experience whatsoever, but I think I caught on pretty quickly. I think my best was a low 14, if not 14 flat. Where in TX do you live?

03-06 will end up being a drivers race....ive been up against plenty of pre-05's Z's and ive owened them all...but then of course they may be sucky drivers...either way i insist the 06's have a slight/tiny edge.

How far is McAllen from Dallas? I will prove you otherwise.*note - I already mentioned that it was a driver's race. So, should this race happen, it's not because one's an 06 and the other an 03, but rather the outcome is dependent on the driver.
BTW, I'm tired of you noobs comparing same (or similar) cars, looking at hp, tq, and weight, saying one's faster than the other.
edit - I will even let you get the jump, if from roll. However, I prefer drag strips as that shows your true abilities and your car's as well.

Once i get a chance to head to the track ill post up slips to compare with yours...although the Valley is extremely humid...sucks though.
Since we're at least 8 hrs apart, we can't do anything. However, I would love for you to go to a drag strip and time your car. Be aware that we won't get the awesome times that the people in the eastern states are getting due to our conditions. Good luck and I'll be looking forward to your time slips.

Lastly, to those commenting about the "bug-eye" headlights, I don't mind the look at all, but what is important to me is that they are FAR superior to the 03 in regards to brightness and illumination distance. I'll take them over the 03 anyday due to that.

A few articles discussed the whole weight increase issue over the '03s and the increased horsepower, indicating that it wasn't faster, but also that it wasn't any slower. i have no idea which one is really fastest, but it would actually be a pretty sick race to see an '03 track vs. '06 track. regardless of the victor, i'll take improvements of the '06 anyday. just my 2 cents

I own an 03 and have to say that it is beyond a doubt faster then anyone elses stock car of any year as well as 03's It is mostly faster because I say so and if I lose to another stock car it is because you cheated. Mostly because I know mine is faster. Now guys go out and play nice together knowing that mine is faster then all of you.

davidv, you crack me up man! hahaha
BTW, people.. seriously.. stfu. The Zs are all about the same. Your Z is nothing special. Stop saying one's faster than the other, who has more of what, etc. It's a ****in driver's race. And don't repeat what you just read about it being a driver's race.
If you really think yours is faster because for whatever reason (you beating GTOs and Porsches, being an 03, being an 06, having MREV2, Canadian version, etc), you need to prove it. Until then, please keep your noob comments to yourself. BTW, this forum's full of ppl that have the same ****, if not more, as you.
