Kinda funny, but true I guess. They should be able to run respectable times as well.

I am very very tempted to rent one and take it to the track to see what it can do.

Depending on how much you could stand on the brakes and gas (and how willing you are to do that) it would probably run in the range of 13.3-13.7 depending completely on conditions. I wouldn't be surprised to see a little lower time even because when I have good track prep I can't get all of my power through the clutch, it slips pretty bad no matter what...

Dude, get off it!

Give me a weekend w/ a Geo Metro and I'll whip you in bracket racing! Its funny you think driving/running consistent 13.8's is tougher than controlling a car on Dr's with 15 psi in them gripping 410lbs. of trq at 4200rpms? I'm sure your *** end wants to slide out from that vicious 3rd to 4th shift.

Anyway, I wanted to point out there are four Performance Factory cars in the "Top 10"

I guess if you're car isn't fast you can always bracket race.

lol......I made a sort of mistake while researching back when I registered of either getting an rsx or a 350z. Well i'll let you guess which one i got. But thanks to that the new and improved '07's are out. But the mistake of getting the torqueless P.O.S. RSX non-S has let me mature a little to go back to RWD and or set up to a V6. And now after spending almost three years of enduring the lack of torque and the crappy gear ratios of my RSX. I'm ready to dump that fun little project and I'm looking to get a new '08 model year car. And the 350z is on the top three of the list.

I'll be getting my N20 tune tomorrow by JT so maybe I will make it 5 in the "Top 10".

I had a 9 sec car dork, I know what it is like to go fast. Going fast still doesn't make you a "top" drag racer. I like the idea that you guys are squeezing those times out, and I'm not saying it doesn't take skill to keep the tires on the ground, but it still doesn't make you a hot drag racer. If you think a slow car like a Geo will make you a champion drag racer you are an idiot.
