You're probably at a Dunkin' Donut eating your favorite meal so I'm sorry to interrupt.

How so? I just used your words. You said the latest technology is always better, except when it comes to the HR and DE, then it's even.

You're probably at a Dunkin' Donut eating your favorite meal so I'm sorry to interrupt.Where's the sarcasm there? It seems like your arguments are based on "misunderstanding" if someone disagrees.

You're probably at a Dunkin' Donut eating your favorite meal so I'm sorry to interrupt.Maybe you can't.
BTW, it still stands... Only ricers compare modded to stock.

Btw, if getting a Vette as a midlife crisis car is your goal... Don't. You'll be just another owner doing 45mph in a 65 on the freeway. Get a vette because it's what you want and can appreciate the performance value.

My first time at the track in hot temps, and no traction. Give me a break.

We are not talking autox sir. We are discussing straight line drag racing. We know the 350Z out handles the heavy 300zxTT.

Let's face it, technology advances are incorporated in every year model of any car. So, it's always a safe bet that a 2010 model will be better than a 2000 model, which is better than a 1990 model. However, when comparing DE vs HR stock for stock on a 1/4 mile track, it's a driver's race. I'll even go as far as it's a driver's race -- whether you're on a 1/4-mile track, road course or an autocross. Heck, Miatas kick my *** all the time in autocross but if we're just cyber racing, I would have to say my Z is faster since my Z has more horsepower.
