I paid $200 for the used Superchips tuner and I can easily sell it for that when I'm ready to move up. Plus it knocked a half second off my QM time and did a great job tuning the trans so it shifts much better. So don't go opening you're mouth when you have no idea what you're talking about.

or you could have got a custom tune not have to worry about selling the paper weight and be faster right off the bat. Hey what do I know I just have HP tuner's and have tuned 10 sec car's, but I have no idea what im talking about. Go back to highschool.

A custom tune isn't going to do much more with my mods, so that shows how little you know. Many people are using the Superchips tuner on the G8 with great results, the trans tune alone is worth the price of admission. You do what you want to your car and I'll do what I want to my car, so stop flapping your jaw. I already said that I'll get a custom tune when I add more mods. What part of that don't you understand?

Good comeback... You're done cause everyone in this thread Is owning you.

Keep modding got car and stay stuck in the 13s. As for me I'm going to stick to my cheap fbody that would run circles around you with two plugs pulled.

Do you ever stop nutswinging off Superchips? You act like your sponsored. Just hush, your ***** slow. If your broke go work instead of wasting your time online complaining about it.

People these day's lol. He need's get all his heroe's together lol.
Hell thats exactly why I purchased a G8... it was cheap!! My cheap *** sedan hasn't had problems with the local stanger population though...

I'll say it AGAIN, I never said my car was fast. Some of you guys need to learn how to comprehend what you read! I put my spare money into my Harley and bought dirt bikes for my kids so we can riding together since I also have a YZ250. Riding dirt bikes is a lot more fun that racing around on the street and getting tickets. Been there done that, and with today's laws they put down the hammer on you if your caught.

Show me where I said my car was better than yours. I said mine cost more so don't go twisting around what I said.

Isn't the point in modding a car to make it faster, so that they can beat other fast cars whether they are modded or not. Point is that the new 5.0 has 400+ HP stock so the fact I beat it tells me that I'm accomplishing my goals and beating cars that would normally beat me.

Nice kill OP! The new 5.0s are no slouches!

The 5.0 is much better than the VQ37, but i would strongly prefer the chassis of the Z.

Edit: sorry, i'm going a bit off topic.
The VQ is a great engine. I would hope an engine with 2 more cylinders and more than another litre in displacement would make more power than the vq37. A 370z with a 5.0?? Now you're TALKING!

A 370z with another 100hp in it would be too cool for Nissan to release. Honestly there's nothing wrong with the engine in it. Now. In fact the engine responds fairly well to mods. Stock internals and na (no power adders) record for the 370z is in the 12.2s trapping 111 with around a 1.8 60 foot. That's impressive to me for an na v6 (about 200 lbs of weight reduction).

Either way though I favor the 370z handling, feel, and looks more than the 5.0s. I'm just eagerly awaiting Nissans next Z car with either a twin turbo v6 or high revving small block v8...

If Nissan uses a smallblock V8 in the next Z then sign me up!!! I'd rather own a Z than a 5.0 as long as it's faster and handles better. Because unfortunately Mustangs ARE like ********, everyones got em.

I'm not going to waste my time with someone who obviously can not comprehend things.

My comprehension is just fine, it's yours and some of the others here that is lacking. I know how to make my car faster, it just takes money that I don't have. And I don't have to start a post asking everyone what I should do to my car to make it faster to achieve that, like a lot of people here do.

Do you not remember you first post in this thread. You said the OP should not be proud that his bolt-on fbody beat a 2011 gt. A stock 2011 gt put's down around 360-370 rwhp a bolt-on fbody usually put's down 350 rwhp. If it was me I would be damn proud if my bolt-on fbody beat a 2011 gt. They are very stout cars. You sir need to comprehend that you started the fight's in this thread and just say your wrong.
