3 i couldnt feel the speed if you know what i mean
4 leather seats were a little unconfortable

Obviously your making a big deal out of the "kit" when I said Vortech made the kit when in fact they made the SC not the full kit. Quit your crying. It's obvious your nit picking to start a fight.

you remind me of a drunk guy who starts a fight in a bar.. gets his as$ kicked by the bouncers... then the cops come and starts a fight with the cops and gets his as$ kicked by the cops... then goes to jail and starts a fight with the other inmates and gets his as$ kicked again..

And sorry this got off topic...not that I really care, as long as everyone's having fun.
But thanks to the guys like Phil, Doug, SuperBlack, and anybody else who was a little openminded. I know the GTO isn't perfect, and I know that not everyone is going to like everything about it...but I didn't come here to get my ego stroked. I just wanted to give you guys something to look at while you were bored at work or home, and of course, something to discuss as well...all opinions were welcome, as I like to discuss anything about cars, including their downfalls, even if it's my own car.
And just to set the record straight, the only reason SOLO and a couple other fanbois have anything bad to say about me has to do with comments I made in regards to the new GT-R. You can find MANY MANY posts where I bend over backwards to praise the car, but they like to hang onto the few negative things I've said...which basically amounts to nothing more than a little bit of skepticism in regards to the car's projected performance figures. That's it.
I don't recall ever once bad-mouthing 350z's. I may have pointed out some flaws or criticized people's mod decisions, but I typically have nothing but good things to say about them. So I don't really know where that BS came from...I guess it fell out of SOLO's *** along with most of the other things he says.
Yeah, sorry about that. Fair enough. But you have to remember, it's a sport GT...a high performance coupe...but it's not a sports car. I suppose you can call it that, but I don't consider anything with a backseat a true sports car.
And no offense, but you can hardly get a feel for a car on most test drives. I personally feel that you go into a test drive with a predisposed notion of it...you either initially like it or you don't...or perhaps you're only luke warm about it. And unless you're positive about it, it takes a seriously exciting car to change those opinions.
The car is so much fun on back roads, and this is coming from an E36 M3 owner. It just feels different. Yes, the car is a little loafy and lazy, but that's part of its nature...it's what makes it so relaxing and comfortable that other 95% of the time when you're driving it normally. And I don't think the car's speed can be questioned. Due to the single cam in block coupled with loads of torque, no, you're right, you aren't going to get any illusions of speed with the motor screaming out of control and the revs frantically clawing for redline...but make no mistake about it...you're going very very fast. It only takes a glance at the speedo to confirm it. And the seats are some of the most comfortable I've ever been in...400 mile trips across state are a breeze. So perhaps your dimensions are just a bit off.

Wow Doug, you can't read obviously. Read again what I posted last. Oh wait, I guess I should waste more time and try to tell you again:
YOU SAID STILLEN MADE THE SC KIT. I said Vortech made the SC kit (BECAUSE it came with a Vortech not a Stillen Blower). Stillen puts together the KIT, but it is not a Stillen SC.
