I do disagree with Krinkrov somewhat, although I would also much rather be on a roadcourse than going fast in a straightline, but I don't fault those that like to do it.

Btw, I've come to respect your opinion too from your posts to my few race threads. Do me a favor, check out Krinkov's posts and reconsider your opinion.

I agree...I have seen post where Krinkov has offered up good info....BUT...if your offing up the "golden nugget" of info, however it is on a steaming pile of crap... Just go ahead and keep that "nugget" of info for yourself.
Also...if your agruing your opinion (which was done here), thats pretty stupid also....

14.7 is PATHETIC for a GT. The fastest runs for stock GT's are in the 13.7 range. Most run around 14 flat at 100 or so...
Those mag times suck ***. A 1/4 time without a 60' time is pretty useless...

actually bullits have a different/stronger intake manifold allowing the be much more boost friendly...
they also come with 3.73 gears increasing acceleration... ive driven both gt and bullit and i could tell the difference....
i dynoed 368rwhp sae stock... =)
hank was that sae or std (the 310rwhp)

You mean 268?
Bullits have maybe 2 tenths over the GT in the 1/4 (on avg)...a friend ran 13.5 stock, 13.3 on DR's...

If anything they should be impressed by a V6 producing that much horsepower and performing as well as they do, I sure am impressed.
i'm impressed... the Z is a very nice car.....i'm a stanger, just bought a new 03 cobra...and i believe a 350z would beat a
mustang GT..its lighter and has more HP..and for what it cost it better beat it.....need to change my screen name...
2003 METALLIC SILVER SVT COBRA..

Update:
I already posted this in another thread, but I ran a 14.5 which I am very pleased with at this altitude since I haven't seen one single 350z break out of the 15s at this altitude. The guy in the Mustang ran as well. He was running 15.0X and 15.1X, but then he took off his air box and ran a 14.84.
So, I think that this substantiates my original post.

Someone should close this...
The past 30 kills by a Z owner I've seen here, there's always someone just waiting to bust their *****.
But there are alot of ignorant Z owners who think it's the fastest thing out there. So it goes both ways.
The 350Z is a good car, stats wise you can't deny it.
It's taking Turbos, Super Chargers, and V8's to beat our Stock V6.
Now, that being said.
There are alot of other great cars out there too.
Now, I'm not a Mustang fan. The current model just doesn't appeal to me. That's my opinion, just mine. Their power can't be denied though.
The Mach 1's are great and the Cobras'll peel the pavement off the ground.
Same goes for Cameros, don't like the style that's why I drive the Z. But the Z28s, LS1, SS, will all go.
The list goes on and on.
We all drive what we like.
While drag racing may be considered "Red Neck", ect. Don't bash it if you've done it. It's not something I'd do, but it's not red neck. I've seen way more Civics than Mustangs do it. So don't stereotype.
I agree with Rob Nance:
The main reason you guys are targeted is everyone knows Ford can make a straight line rockets. That's the reason all you guys are IMO.
Bottom line is whoever is will to put down the most $$$ will have the fastest ride.
My money is going towards food and gym related stuff. Maybe a Strong Bad shirt or two.
Give good kills props when they're due.
Mustang GT beats a Diablo by some fluke.
We all know that it'll never happen again but he won that given race. Good job.
The Z's not the best, neither is your car. Move on.
Run'em and have fun. Most importantly, run'em safe.

Yea, it's late and I've gotten no sleep for like two days.
I forgot to throw the GT's in there too.
I was trying to make a point about the drag racing thing.
Give props when they're due.
And people need to realize there'll always be someone faster and someone slower.
I should have typed it all in a different order I believe.
But I'm too lazy/tired to do it so let's just pretend.

BTW - 4-5 carlengths isn't pusing anything. ANYTHING can happen on the street.
