By saying the car is a dog im comparing it to the two vehicles I drive. An ls1 f-body, and a gsx-r. In my view, for a stock car, a 350z is a dog. It is a nice looking car, they are fairly comfortable to sit in, and can be made to be brutally fast. The last part can be said about any vehicle however assuming money is put into the equation.
By the way if you havnt noticed, stock Mustangs with the exception of the mach 1 and terminator get branded as dogs and turds around here also. I mean no disrespect to the car as I know of people that refer to ls1s as dogs because they drive cars that make 13s look slow for a stock car. It is all figurative.

With the stroker kit in my garage, my SS is about to slip into the 10.XX range and yes 13 second cars are relatively slow. They are not dogs though.
Sorry, stereotypes just get to me. On the Z forums I break it off on them when they stereotype Camaro owners as rednecks and on other LS1 forums I do the same when they refer to "ricers" incorrectly.
Your "dog" comment is not a stereotype. It was just a comment that I dissagree with.
My Z is a "dog" compared to my SS on the strip. However, my SS is a dog compared to my Z on the Track. Does that make them both dogs?

That Z he raced is a fully built Z. So good death. He spent lots of money on the car, so you know it is fast. here is the car:

Calling all import cars ricers is just like saying all Camaro owners have a mullet and live in a manufactured home.
Anyway; as you can in my signature, I own a 2000 SS and a 2004 350Z. The Z you raced puts down 500+ RWHP. You may have done better against him from a dig, however I doubt it would have been noticeable. That Z is no joke and with the weight difference, he will eat your lunch from a roll at any speed or a dig.
wouldn't go as far as to say they are dogs, my man. In stock trim they perform equally with Mustang GT's and LT1 Fbodies. They are no contest for a well driven LS1 powered Fbody though. But then again there are not that many cars that are a good run for an LS1 in the quarter... That doesn't make them a dog though.

BTY: My buddy doesn't know how to drive or else he would have Downshifted
As for the mustang part, what mustang GT's have u raced???? You must have raced like the 94-98 years. Another buddy of mine has a 2000GT w/ a flowmaster and Mac intake. He raced the same dude the same night. From a dig, the both lost traction, and when they hooked his GT was about car ahead and kept pulling through the end of 3rd. So i was just letting u know about the real world....Dont preach to me about the specs of each car either...Specs don't meen **** on the street.
As for the "ricers" don't get all but hurt about it, im sure ur happy with ur 350Z and all...But thats the first thing out of our mouth, "Rice", even though it's an expensive import and a nice luxury/sporty car.

350z are not dogs, they hold up pretty well against most cars. 350z get my respect when i went to the track with my friend in his base model 6speed 350z only thing done was pull the air filter and he got a 13.99 out of it, i was suprised.
ont he ricer note: civics with park benchs as wings are ricers, probes with NOS stickers are ricers. actually modded 350z are not ricer.

well that's probably why i got my *** handed to me. that is one nice car tho 
Anyway, i refer to most imports as "ricers" beause around here, one mostly sees a civic hatchback, lowered, with intake thinking they are fast. in no way was i saying that this 350z was a ricer. but anyway, glad to know what he was putting down compared to what i am.

But back to the topic (that I was more than a bit responsible for derailing), no shame in losing to that Z. It is a Z06 killer and there are about to be a lot more of them around. There was a problem with the boosted ones and nobody could turn up the PSI without risking serious damage. One of the better suppliers took the time to really R&D their set up and they discovered the timing problem that was causing engines to blow. Now that it's been discovered there will be a lot more 350's out there that will be mean as all get out.
I'm not planning on doing F/I on mine in the near future. That's what the SS is for! My goal with the SS is to get it down to the mid 10's N/A. Once I put the stroker kit (sitting in my garage) in it, I think that should get me there. I may have to change the gears to 4.11's though.

he probably put about 3 cars on me. BTW, i dyno 370/370. i try again and i get the same result hitting about 125mph. i was a little disappointed but it shows that not all ricers are slow. . .

A 15-second "Cormaro" (forgot, this is a kills forum.... so, I'll tell you that this car killed a 16-second Honduh).

Alright we gave the nissan its credit. But honestly you guys are preaching to the wrong choir. A group of guys that turned low 13s high 12s stock are never going to refer to a 14 second car as anything but a slow turd. Hell about a 1/4 of the people that post up in this section on a regular basis started out faster than high 12s (Terminators and ZO6 drivers). Not to mention that even that 500hp nissan is out classed by many of the daily driven cars on here.

I think those cars own the market on rice (well, except for underpowered, poorly modified 4-cylinders). Ricers are people who "rice up" their rides, regardless of their make. If you want good examples, try www.beaterz.com, www.ricecop.com or www.laughatrice.com. You'll quickly see how there are numerous domestics which also look like total a$$.

I gave credit where it was due, you have a nice car, very fast nor am i hating on your car. i think others on this board agree with me as well. but yes, i do regard those civics with 15inch wings as ricers. but i don't regard your car as one. so can we drop this already
