I've NEVER heard of a stock SRT4 cutting mid-13's. The best stock time I heard out of them is a 13.8... don't remember the trap though. The best stock Z times are mid-13's. Not much difference in the trap speeds though... they're within a mile or 2 of each other. From a roll, it is definitely in the driver.

I would consider the Z a entry/mid level 2door sports car.
As far as a SRT4 its a drivers race when stock but most of the time the Z will edge it out a bit. On a autocross course though even with the SRT4 modded on its suspension they just get thrashed by Z's and pretty much nething else RWD that has a decent motor/suspension.
A parts guy at my dealership drives a SRT4 and constantly talks about how his car is faster then mine which it is, but I honestly dont care.

However, the NSX still consider a japanese supercar from then 'till now.

I would like to remind everybody that the subject of this thread is Z's and Supercars. Not another one of the 10,000 threads about Z vs SRT's. If you can't stick to the subject, then I can take care of it for you 
IOW - don't hijack this thread with the petty SRT-4 bickering !!!!

One of the Supercars Roast posted the Maserati, MC12, latest model Versione Corse, 12 will be made only, 563kw's (well over 700bhp), 6 litre engine, top speed 325kms, 0 to 200kph in 6.4 seconds, price 1,000,000 euros, now that is a blisteringly fast supercar!!!
Our Z's although very nice and give good bang for buck are not technically classed as supercars. Hehe, yes there are some quick Z's on this forum, but not like this.

Damn you guys! The Z is my super car! Ok?! 
Yeah true it may not be the 130k+ supercar but to me it will always be. So I'm not gonna look at the GT3 and say "wow, I wish I was driving that instead" because I know the nasty price tag and high maintenance.
I'm happy with what I got.
And for the record: I hate the SRT4 because it's ugly and unreliable.

Super Cars, Super Cars, Super Cars?
None of these are super cars, even though they may, with modication, be able to reach super level handling, horspower, and speed. The lowest priced super car IMHO is the Porsce Twin Turbo or the Ferrari 360 Modena. Anything less than these and you got wannabes.
