Of course it does. Every chirp you can get is an extra 10hp.

ive posted vid's of my car beating my friends rev up z's, an srt-4, and a 335i on this site about 2-3 months back when i first joined this site and they got removed by a moderator within about an hour because this site doesn't endorse street racing. if anyone doubts it and actually cares thaaat much to go out of their way and call me a liar like u just did then lets meet up and ill show u in person.

btw im sure i speak for some of you when i say just because im new to this forum doesnt mean i dont know anything about my car or that im inexperienced with it. the only think ive learned is that people are annoying and go out of their way to put people down. i know my stuff when it comes to cars and ive had my Z well over two years and plan to keep it for a little while longer.

im tired of these internet tough guys and *******s, im sure in person no one wouldnt talk like this face to face so just get over your world of warcraft rage and show some damn respect.

Exclamation

97 days and I still haven’t seen a time slip. Your credibility is questionable.

This thread makes me queasy. To think there are all these ignorant Z owners


Chirp this Chirp that, Sideways here, Redline that. Whatever. Has anyone suggested that perhaps there are other differences that make these cars faster/slower than others? Say, Gearing? Final Drive? I don't know for sure, but I know thats atleast one reason my mother's '07 G35 is slow as **** compared to my '04 Enthusiast. Yeah, weight is a factor, But the gears are different too.

Oh, Saying you're proficient at driving stick is like saying you're a master of the modern belt buckle. Good job.

I know what you mean because this one time I drove my friend's Bugatti Veyron and it was considerably slower than my 306hp car. I couldn't believe how much slower his 1000hp car was I mean damn that could only chirp for blah blah blah..

Mine does. Ive chirped third and Im bone stock. 2005 6MT NON-anniversary 287HP w/274lbs torque. The 06 has 300HP but 260LBS of torque. Thats the reason why I chose the my 05 model over the 2006. Dont get me wrong,the 06 model is an AWESOME car and at higher speeds will continue pull when ours runs out of breathe. But off the line I noticed a difference, most definitely.

I can chirp 2nd and MAYBE for a millisecond, chirp 3rd but that's a stretch and I ALSO have the G-force (KDWII's) on 19's.

When I was turbo (and will be shortly again) I could spin through third but yeah, the BFG's are awesome tires for grip.

In regards to this threads point, I have a friend who has a 287 motor race a 300 hp (Interlagos Fire) and they were both neck and neck down PCH. Sure they have more hp but I believe they are also noticeably heavier than the 'early' models.

If you asked me to trade, free of cost, my '04 for a Rev-Up, I would turn you down not only because I prefer the performance of my '04 but it has been FREE of problems whereas the new cars seem to be getting the same problems as the '03's. Also, the latest model of the Z's are starting to look weird, especially with that ungodly hump on their hoods.

'04's FTMFW!
