lol
obviously the guys in the Celica and Mustang are tools that know NOTHING about competitve racing.
Have them go lookup the highest level of auto cross, nationwide, SCCA Pro Solo 2, the national championships and see who has won it year in and year out (before the factory modded Solstice GXPs arrived this year). 350Z all over the standings. I'm not saying the Z is the greatest auto-x car ever, I mean it is a porky car, more of a GT track car, but its still in a class far above a celica and mustang.
Come on a FWD celica and a solid rear axle Mustang are making fun of a 350Z at an auto-x, I've have offically seen it all.
If it was a Lotus Elise, MR2, Miata, S2000, Porsche, or some other good autox car they might have a point.

EVERY car gets it dude, have a look around here it's civics that are the punch-line to all our jokes... right now there's probably a thread on a civic forum somewhere "I was just on my350z.com and those guys don't pay us any respect, VTEC FTW"
