Depends on who's driving what.....if we're talking identical twin drivers, i'd have to say the Z by a nose

Stock for Stock the Z.

For 2 bux the srt can crank the boost and walk a Z though. But If i wanted to beat everything on the road I would have bought an R1.......think about it.

A R1 isn't going to beat everything on the road....there is always someone faster.

The SRT4 is an awesome bang for the buck and is only slightly slower stock for stock vs a Z.

Or the SRT-4 by a nose. I was at Atco Raceway tueday night and saw a black SRT-4 (with the wing removed) run a 13.8x @ 101 mph. These cars are impressive for 19,000 dollars. If I was a 18 year old making minimum wage this would be my weapon of choice. But for a grown man the Z is a better choice.

Thumbs up i've raced an srt4...

they're impressive...
We raced from a dead stop twice, and I had him off the line. I guess he wasn't a good launcher, but he stayed near me the whole time. We didnt get to drive that far ( less than a 1/4 mile i believe) so I'm thinking I could've left him behind in the long run...

Overall I think the Z can beat it...but not by that much.

Stock for stock on the straight it would be a tie. Both can do 5.4 0-60. But in the twisties 350 will kill it since the SRT-4 is a fwd car.

but its a drivers race for sure.

Totally a drivers race, as with most any two decent cars you pick. Check out the results for the Cannonball One Lap of America (http://www.onelapofamerica.com/Histo...ts/OVL_CUM.HTM)... SRT-4 placed 8th overall out of 84 cars ... just ahead of a Lambroghini Diablo ! The cars that finished ahead of it were mostly highly modified supercars. The only 350z came in a very impressive 13th overall (ahead of a new Mitsubishi Evolution, but behind a Probe GT). The One Lap is an event where cars are run flat-out on 7 or 8 road-racing courses, a dirt oval, skidpad, and a drag strip across the US in a span of a week.

With this said, I would still take a 350z hands down over a SRT-4. Still, this is the first non-viper chrysler product that got my attention.

I think saying that is very lame.....
beauty etc. is in the eye of the beholder....

Sticking your nose up in the air does not make your car better (not saying you are trying to do that but it sure sounds like it).

Peace

Driver's race...stock for stock.

The "it's still a Neon" arguement is something similar to what BMW owners say about our cars, so I don't buy into it. On the other hand, if I did own an SRT-T car I would catch alot of **** from my coworkers like, "you own a FRICKIN' NEON."
A local tuner here in Phoenix, AGP, trapped 108.164 with only a boost controller and a wastegate actuator. The time was only 13.7 but obviously traction limited.

Yeah, enough about all this "its still a neon" don't forget that these are the same people that make the SRT-10 which is "still a dodge" but will still blow your doors off...The SRT-4 only costs 19K yet will show taillights to the likes of... 2002 and below Audi S4's, The Audi TT, 2000 and under BMW M3's, The Porsche Boxster S, Mercedes Benz SLK's, the BMW Z4...these are all Premium German Sportscars and Roadsters and they all sticker for atleast double the $19,000 paid for an SRT-4 which is an small economy sedan if you forgot...so stop comparing yourself to it, and if bashing it helps you feel better about yourself then thats cool too but don't forget you still drive a "Nissan"

SRT-4 traps a Higher speed in the 1/4 despite no launching as well. It's a faster car.

I would think the SRT4 would win this little pissing match too. It puts down almost as much power to he wheels as the 350Z, yet is much lighter as well...

If I owned a 350Z, I would race an SRT4 from a stop only.....

You gotta love the Probe GT. I have a 94. It's a beast of an autocross car.

saying "its still a neon" cannot be compared to "its just a nissan" Practically every car company puts out a top of the line car, and a bottom of the line car. The neon is the pos bottom of the line shitbox from dodge. Nissan makes the Sentra. I don't care if the Sentra ran 10s from the showroom floor. Its still a sentra, and the neon is still a neon.
