no, i raced the z like i said above but your right most the time it is all about the driver. the z and me were 6pd to 6spd and we both took off in 2nd and i think we both know the z has better performance than the g. by the way my xfire is limited at 150! that sucks cus going to work at 3am the other day i was at 140 than shifted to 6th what the hell 10 mph for the last gear!! i read the car should do 163 @ 6100 rpm..later
