Me too.
And how did we go from talking about why our cars are slow off the line to debating about cars that have nothing to do with the topic? Just wondering.

Aight. I am the kinda person that doesn't try to associate things like that. Like if Kia came out with a great sports car, I might would be into it. Yeah it'd be a Kia but if they decide to spend some time engineering things like the srt/pvo/svt,etc. programs do then it would be a good car (with a 10yr warranty).

the overall quality of the 350Z is on an entirely different level
the 350Z is RWD
the 350Z has more displacement (TT anyone?)
the 350Z handles better
the power for both is similar...depends on who is driving to decide the race
the 350Z has a better quality interior
the 350Z is just on a whole nother level like I said, and much more performance oriented than the SRT4.
the 20-22K price tag of the SRT4 seems to blur peoples vision...if it was 30K not nearly as many people would buy it.
All in all, if I could afford a 350Z I would not even touch an SRT4...I can't see any way in my mind how an SRT4 is someway "better" than the Z.
Well thanks for pointing out every single ovbious thing about this.
BUT
Does not decide driver, SAME good driver in both cars would be srt4 faster.
More performance orientated... NO. It has the luxury enuff for women and children to drive. SRT4 makes enough noise and stuff only people wanting to go fast want it. Due to cost limiting aspect, it is only what it is though.
Of course if you have lots of money you're not gonna get and its prices is it selling point. So what are you trying to say? If the 350z was 50k, I wouldn't touch it either. Point?
and SRt4 is cheaper to modify and more reliablily (to a point).
dude, the only difference between a Z and SRT4 performance wise is like a bolt on or two...I think that enough to classify it as a drivers race.
Lets see an SRT4 outhandle a 350Z, or put more power to the wheels...its a pocket rocket not a performance oriented car like the 350Z.
I would take one, don't get me wrong but I still don't consider it on par with the 350Z.
Oh, and just because women drive them and kids ride in them doesn't mean they aren't performance oriented...if that were the case Mustang GT's and Corvettes are not performance cars either.

Mustang GTs and base corvettes are not real real performance cars either, they r just bit better than other cars. A cobra and z06 r.
Ok so, I take $5k I save, put aftermarket turbo and other stuff on the srt4. And then not a chance for the 350z.
Yes pocket rocket. Limited by FWD, but still performance orientated kid.
I'd take one of either, but don't want either particularly. They are built for different things so of course not same level.

Anyone want to go blow up a "pimped" out neon in MN? The thing is just spanktastical...body kit, racing stripes, and *wow* an aftermarket muffler, and a piece of aluminum on the back that I think is supposed to be a spoiler....i think. I just WISH i could pull up next to him at a light....Please please please. Then I would rev and rev until the light turns green and go "I am not wasting my gas on that pile". The one thing that might be worse than a neon is a 95 and newer eclipse or talon nonturbo...wait, they are neons in disguise. A better looking car, but still a neon. My girlfreind had a neon once, she says that having it smashed between a truck and another car 75 mph was the best thing that ever happened to it.

jesus we've got 11 fricking pages of kremit saying the same thing in every fricking post...blah blah blah they are 2 different cars.....blah blah blah srt-4 this....give it a fricking rest...pretty soon you are going to be arguing with yourself...the more you post the more ignorant it makes you look.....
so the new vette(non z06)has like what 400 hp...that's not a performance car????????????????????????????and hell a mustang gt has 300 hp runs well into the 13's(one guy even ran a 13.2 stock)and that also isn't a performance car??????your ignorance really shines through in your posts...of course that's nothing new you have like what 15,000 posts of 90% rambling about things you don't even know anything about....

I agree. The only real performance cars out there are the Porsches, Lambo's, and Ferraris! Originally posted by Kremithefrog:

si i guess to some people the STI isnt a performance car either? even tho there are very few cars that can beat it stock vs. stock in the 1/8th mile!
