Says the guy who brought up the Caparo T1 to make it seem like I don't know what "fast" is. Because all of us SRT-6 owners are really just saving up to buy an F-1 car with a fiberglass body on it.

Yes. A GSXR1000 is fast as hell. Gotta love the price point for bikes.

"Fast as Hell" is relative.

I think a bone stock SRT-6 is fast as hell. You'll be hard pressed to find a bone stock (relative!!) 2 seater that is capable of a 12.9 bone stock.

For a bone stock car, the 370Z is extremely fast. Put in in some corners and watch the hell out.

Where was I a hypocrite? The SRT-6 is an inferior handling car. It's only offered in auto. It's 4 years old. It depreciates horribly. Luckily for me, it's combination of rarity, straight line performance and depreciated cost made it very appealing to me (I think 99% of the people where would agree).

I'm realistic.

Which is NOT the case with most of the guys on this forum who put cars in the following categories:

A) The SRT-6 is faster

or

B) It may be faster, but it's for ricers!!

C) And it's ugly anyways!

D) But look how expensive it is!

E) But if I add THIS mod and THIS mod and THIS mod, I'll be faster!

Look, guys. It took Nissan ALLLLLLL these years, but they finally put out a car that is VERY close to our in straight line speed, but will eat it up in the corners.

It's been YEARS and nobody has come close. Finally, Nissan has. Give them some credit. As a car enthusiast, I think it's great Nissan took a dependable platform, removed weigh (how often does THAT happen now-a-days) and increased horse power! I think it's great.
