Who cares if an econobox is slightly faster than the Z?

The Z looks a ton better, handles better, and best of all, gets more "respect" if that matters to you.

Ask an SRT-4 driver which one of the 2 cars he would choose if he had the money, and I assure you the majority would have chosen the 350z.

Be happy with what you have.

Back to the subject. Here's supercar for you. Probably the cheapest there is: C6 Z06

Supercars don't come with plastic interiors.

stock for stock srt-4 are not faster.... take your fanboy self somewhere else if you really believe that.... I've raced a lightly modded srt-4 (wga and catch can) in my stock Z from a 60mph roll.... both of us on empty tanks of gas... every time I pulled right from the start(no gear changes yet)... and had 2 lengths by 115mph and was still pulling when we shut down....all with a 3000ft DA mind you.... if you think that has anything to do with drivers.... well that doesn't say much about your intelligence. Yeah, claim a boost leak. The guy is on srtforums if you want to ask him what he thinks about the situation.

that was me, and its mostly stock, different wga and catch can about sums up the mods. i was headin to meridian st. sinclairs to get 93oct, since the sinclairs on sunnylane was out. good runs man, thx for playin back it sucks alot when ya get every pony, ricer or z28 revs up at ya and eigther doesn't race ya or just cant keep up.
he pulled on me till 120ish then i kept up, but he always pulled. i need money for some mods.

on the plus side also raced a 99-01ish SS Camaro, it was a automatic and i think it was dogged to hell becasue he could NOT keep up and then was like "Pull over!!" told me damn that things fast i never been beat by a civic before... i said SRT-4. he had no clue.....what a tool.. i left after that comment.
Any questions?

the z06 is the best "bang for ur buck" sports car out, hands down. it has the performance of a supercar but definitely not the price tag.....great great car. and the srt4 IS slower than a Z....personal experience speaking here.

For the money though I think that I would take a Lotus Elise, I have never driven one, but I have heard that the car is a blast to drive.

Oh.... and I should have included this with my previous post....

The z06 is not even considered a supercar.... best sports car bang for your buck though... that I can pretty much agree with....

Well I know from personal experience that the srt-4 is faster. So there.

On a serious note, it's all about gearing and whp to weight ratio when you race from a roll.

And the SRT-4 simply has a better whp to weight ratio and similar gearing.

who cares if a SRT-4 is faster? Afterall it's a freaking ugly neon and I doubt if it's really faster than the Z stock vs stock.

z06 is prob not a supercar, but for that money I'd get a Lotus Elise or Exige.

The Z is an entry level sports car. Its in the building but its on the ground floor. The Bugatti is on the top floor, everything else is in the middle.

A Supercar is more than just performance, its rarity, performance, appearance, history etc. I wouldn't even consider the Z06 a supercar. It has supercar performance, but it looks just like the regular vette and it isn't rare enough. Now the Veryon, S7, CGT or Enzo those are super cars.

I have yet to have a SRT-4 beat me... Honestly, I pick on alot of them on the freeway... I'm sure that a mildly modified SRT ( TB, Intake, Tune, Clutch ) would probably beat me, but I have more wins under my belt than fingers on my hand with skittles.. If you have a skittle, live in the Mid A and wanna try me, let me know... I'm always down for a little fun...

Why must we continue with the whole Srt-4 vs. 350z issue, in the end it comes down to who is the better driver, either car is faster than one another stock for stock, It's sad to say i know(it's a freaken neon ) but what can you do.

as for the neon SRT-4, if it was such a great car why did dodge decide to drop it from their lineup? yeah it may be fast in a straight line, but will get owned in autocross. that is where the Z is better. the new EVo will be something bu tlike it was mentioned earlier, the days of the japanese supercar are over. they were fast and powerful for their time, and modded very nicely. but stock they would get owned by todays standards.

Default A Goodwood Supercar Every Year !!!!!!!

It has been in the Goodwood Festival Of Speed's Supercar Corral in England every year since 2003 with all the other big hitters . Last year it was the black , Strosek bodied , Novek supercharged GT-S . Duncan James the singer drove it on the hill climb and left a patch wide enough to hot top your driveway .

From a roll is not a race. And I don't recall Neon SRT-4's running mid 13's completely stock. So it really comes down to driver.

And Roast, thanks for clearing up what a supercar is, lol.
