Hey guys, I have a special request to make and its pretty bizarre. Please bear with me.

First and foremost, I live in Los Angeles County, in the North Hollywood/Glendale/Burbank area.

So here's the deal,

I have an 06 base and the car is supposed to have 300hp/264lbs

I used to have an 03 base before upgrading, and the 03 had SO much more torque behind it even though it was only about 10-14lbs more than the 06.

For some reason, my Z feels awfully slow (especially with the AC running. I know the AC strips a lot of power but this is insane). It's as if the torque is almost non-existent and I can't help but think something is up.

My request, for anyone willing to do this for me and owns an 06 Rev-up, is for someone to please let me drive their car for ONE minute and compare the power to mine. 6MT. Completely stock.

I know what some of you might be thinking right now,

"Why don't you just put it on a dyno and get a much more accurate reading?"

Unfortunately I can't do that for a while, as I have recently become unemployed and I'm tapping into my savings to keep afloat. I'm not on unemployment, not yet at least. Hopefully my internship (unpaid) right now will propel me to get something decent when the summer is over. I hope you guys understand. Please, if you want to flame me, I kindly ask you not to reply.

Anyone who can help me out will be mucho appreciated.

Thank you SoCal Z owners,

~ Mike

03 - 05 do have more torque, which is why your 06 "feels" slower. It is faster. Much like the comparison of an 05 anniversary or 06 rev up "feels" fast compared to the 07+ HR engines.

I have an 06 rev up.

Thank you for your .02!

Have you driven the older model Z's? If so, how does it compare to your 06 Rev up?
