Being a owner of BOTH, (04 Z, 00 Hatch) I KNOW that the Z is not fastest nor the lightest. Even with running at 262 to the ground without spray, it is SLOW. Hell and to get through the gear tree is a bitch and time consumming.

Proof positive, screwing around yesterday with Paul (Admin) he with Julio in the 230ish whp VW hung tight with my Z and might have pulled if given the distance. The weight is what kills it, and hell I have 400-500 more pounds of ICE. Even with the car stripped down I would think it to be heavy. Maybe one day I will take it to commerence and drop the spray but that is for another day.

My Honda hatch is PERFECT stock at 34mpg and is one of the best beater cars I ahve ever owned, accually it is my 1st and I think it kicks ass, all 90 hp of it.

What sorta pisses me off and the reason for chiming in is that "run4cover" starts talking about this and that, what a B18 have that my SR20 dosen't

Dude no offence but zip it!

Get your new S14 built then talk smack. All your doing in my book is making the Nissan contengent look like shit. Granted you might be the best builder in the world and can spank the onslaught of cars who call you out, but what do you gain from saying I had this car and when I finish building the s14 watch out? Nothing.

My car can hold its own in the quater, but why waste the time talking about it. I would rather say, my shit is slow as monkey balls and surprise the folks at the track when spray can be used safely.

UPDATE: Thank you run4cover that last post brought you back under the good graces of the Nissan Gods. Well thought and not smartass. Kudos to you.
I hear ya, but ummmm...nobody ever mentioned a 350z ......or an s14...well, not the car, just the engine....I have a raggedy ass s13 coupe. My reply about the sr20 vs. b18 was directed to some kid saying I just don't know whats comming...my point is, there's nothing he can do to that honda motor that I can't do to this nissan motor...it's all about the $$$$.

I followed most of what you said, but hear me on this....I DO NOT represent or speak on behalf of anyone other than myself. I've met more a$$holes in the nissan camp than anywhere else! I'm a privateer
