When I mean through the woods, it's more like:
if you like rockin a "sedan" lol. I used to be into muddin, never got into trail riding, too much potential to damage expensive paint.
What's up with these ricers??

That's why I sold my C6Z. Nowhere to actually enjoy it. The 370Z, I can safely enjoy to a bit more of its potential. That, and the interior isn't crap.
You mean c5z? haha.... I'll take the LS1 over just about anything out there.. Respond VERY well to mods.
Never owned a c5, I drove a 2011 z06. I did have friends with c5's though, and my 370 feels very similar. Magazine numbers also agree with it being equal to them. I left my ls7 stock, but hear they like mods, too.You mean c5z? haha.... I'll take the LS1 over just about anything out there.. Respond VERY well to mods.

Mud breaks more than rocks do. I HATE mud. Rock/trails are much more fun.
It was fun when you thrashed on it or bent into a corner with it, but the quality just wasn't there aside from the drive-line and suspension. My 370Z is a much much better car, if not as performance oriented. I traded a car that felt like a Cobalt 95% of the time and a rocket 5% of the time for a car that feels awesome 95% of the time and could use a little more oomph 5% of the time. Cut my note in half while I was at it. WIN!
It was a very sexy car, though, and I still don't see many others around like it:
Traded for this (Half the price, 3X the compliments. I don't understand that, really, but kinda cool.):
I will say, every single person who has ridden in both cars says they would rather own my 370Z than my Z06, assuming they couldn't ever sell it/get trade-in on it. Guys (Even one guy who is a HUGE Viper fan/former vette owner), girls, everyone. Everyone except my Dad, who thinks its a better car, but has a soft spot for 'vettes because his first car was a 'vette.

I love my C6 and will keep it because it's paid for.
Next on the list is likely a GTR.
I've always wanted a Supra ever since my father had one when I was a kid. My wife wants a new Cherokee. Maybe the srt8 is a good compromise….

No experience with the GTR, or Supra, but the SRT Jeeps are awesome performers for their size, and launch like a bat out of hell! I passed on the GT-R because I like a manual, whether I shift like a pro or not, it's more fun. The MKIV will always be a classic.

I know of 3 cars in Laf that will put that SRT8 to shame
One being a SINGLE turbo Supra pushing 800, the second a Suby with methanol injection and quite a few mods, third a Z06 that needed to get custom axles made since it was breaking them due to the amount of torque at take off.
ALL are daily drivers from friends in the LAF area, SCARY cars to ride in. I rather walk to the gas station than ride with them

Florida blvd between Sherwood n oneal used to be a good spot to let loose. Sounds like most of you guys are out of my league in the speed department. But with my stocks on I'm in the low 13s maybe high 12 on a cold night. Plenty fast enuff for a 4door car IMO.

I've been away from it for a long time, but I promise in my old stomping grounds, for every 5 fart canned ricers you'd see in Tampa/St. Pete, there was one that could walk 95% of the American cars in the conflagration.
That said, what little exposure I've had to the game around these parts, your assessment seems to be spot on.

HP is just a derivative of torque at 5252 rpm, torque pushes the car down the road, and wins races. FWD hp pulls the car down the road.

I didn't read his SIG line, and now that it's gone, I have some weird burning curiosity as to what was so offensive, and I wish I had read it. Maybe I have issues?
