Import Defense League Assemble!!! Hi troll, evidently you don't know me and think that I am someone who hasn't beaten the cars that I've beaten in real life. I've taken 3 of these clown cars that were running just fine, and I'd prolly have a close race with my daily

I'd like to get hold of one at the drag strip with my Daily and see if WTFOMGBETTERTHANSEXZ can keep up.

LOL, if that's true then the non turbo ones must be rated in the high 200's for power. The races were real close.

600 killed him anyways. I really think that car is probably upper 13s.

I personally wouldn't go over 500-500rwhp with a stock short block.

You act as if pistons and rods are no big deal..."oh, there's nothing
else to do except for pistons and rods." Well, guess what...
those will let go easily. GM might as well have used duct tape instead
of the BS rod bolts they used.
FINALLY!!! Something I completely agree with Unit on (sorry?). I actually admire Ford for making a DOHC, cast iron, FI setup. It's so rediculous it really worked...LOL

ALUMINUM IS FOR BEER CANS! Which is apparently what GM's engineering division was drinking out of when they made the LS1...

BTW, A 300zx will dyno at over 260whp bone stock at 9 psi. The stock turbos and injectors are capable of 15psi, which ussually yeilds over 350whp and very impressive torque. As a matter of fact, I've NEVER seen a modded 300zx dyno with less torque than HP.
I attached an example of STOCK injectors, turbos, etc.

I actually coulnd't care too much if others care, listen to me, or acknowledge the Z. I know what's up, like how the Z (since 1970) was the best selling car in it's class in history, and I plan on shouting it...

BTW, the 300zx (slick top) was labeled one of the sexiest cars ever made (top 25) by automobile magazine. To take that into perspective, they labeled the 63 Corvette stingray the #1 sexiest car.

That's funny, my daily puts out over 300hp (or it will... Ugh).
If you haven't guessed (which is sort of sad) I care and I'm not going anywhere hopefully (winces).

The picked the top ten and started drinking, heavily, and just threw the rest of the list together. The Z cars just got thrown on the list because they didn't want it flooded with truely good looking cars from the 30's through the early 70's.

That just proves that I disagree with the people who made the list. I don't personally think the 63 Vette looks overly good either.

yea one that was claiming to wax a 700rwhp f-body then got smoked by 15 bike lengths from an easy start.

I would rather have a big cube, push rod, aluminum block, forged internals, blower setup.

You know very few people would share this view on the 63 vette.

The last generation 300ZX were pretty much a knock off of the C4 Corvette from the styling standpoint. Attractive but not ground breaking.

^I don't care what anyone else thinks. I don't base my opinion on the opinions of others.
