Then, I'm going to the track. I'm going to stand at the end of the strip, and ANY car (TT Z06, Viper, dragster) that runs slower for ANY reason (misshift, wheel spin, stall, mechanical issues) I'm going to jump on their hood and say MRPHOTOMAN SAID I HAVE A FASTER CAR THAN YOU!!! I LIVE IN A VACCUM!!! QUIT MAKING EXCUSES RICER!!!

That's like starting a thread about how a Crossfire does against a Camaro, then have SRTpowa show up in his 10 second LS1 Z28.
Like I said, I'm be far more interested in a stock vs stock race.

)you can get a s3is or s5is for around $150 to $200 if you look around. there are smaller cameras that take better photos but they do not allow you to zoom while recording video which is a deal breaker if you ask me. i can upload a full rez sample on my server if you want to see how good the video quality is.
for a small pocket camera that takes great photos and video (but no zoom while recording vids) i would get a fujifilm FinePix F200EXR or FinePix F100fd. they take really really good photos, easy to use, small and are cheap. the f1oofd had a $100 rebate not too long ago, it may still be good. if so, you can get it fro around $135!

Re: 370Z... nothing to worry about.
Talking about cars to watch for:
The new mustang GT stomps the Genesis Coupe and the new Camaro SS stomps both.
As for the curves, a few suspension mods and the SRT6 handles as good if not better than the Z. Konis are awesome!

sorry just looking though your old posts.but also my mechanical knowledge didn't all come form the Srt-4 crowd. i have to say that the needswings intake isn't going to be something i need to post about how to install on the forums either...
honestly its fine that you call me a bench racer.. i don't get out and drag like you do. thats fine i am just taking the knowledge i have obtained over the years to make assumptions of what i think turn outs would be.... i am prob very wrong about everything i say.
i didnt even read the rest of this thread because i can see where its going and i want to get away from the stupid **** srtforums has to offer.

Re: 370Z... nothing to worry about.
i like trying to calculate differences between cars by comparing curb weight, hp and torque. sometimes you can guesstimate pretty close. no one believed me when i guessed the new toyota camry V6 would run 14's.
it's crazy that a lot of these new family sedans are in the 14's.

Not the individual cars and costs. Just like i can buy a $2k integra drop $10k into turboing it and have a 500whp for $12k but its not the same because its a different class of car compared to a srt6, so they dont really compare unless your comparing just cost per hp.
