Oh and for Bubble that says the Goat is over-priced, I picked mine up for $28,900. Checking the Nissan website, a track coupe (in an attempt to get the best performing Z possible) lists for $34,550. The Base Coupe starts at $27,650. Lets do some simple math......
28900/400 = $72.25 per horsepower 27,650/300(there were 2 horsepower numbers, will give the Z the benefit of the doubt and go with the higher number) = $92.16 per horsepower. Now granted this is in no way scientific (especially since the Nissan Motor's torque numbers suck), but I don't think any Z owner should or could call the GTO an over-priced under-powered pig. I also hope you don't start claiming the Z's interior is better, there are quite a few converts on the GTO website that will argue that the GTO's interior is MUCH BETTER than the Z's.......But I'm sure you bought the Z for your own personal reason, I bought the GTO for mine. These members here bought their Cobalt SS for their specific reasons, one of them was to surprise some Z and G35 owners on the road. Having previously owned an LSJ, that is completely possible and likely.
Oh and incase you still don't think it happens, here's testimony from a fellow Z owner........

Maybe stock for stock, But my car VS your car, I'd own u. I've raced a modded 6.0 GTO and I still pull. So stop the BS racing, race what you brought, if your not faster, shut the **** up! Thanks, and have a nice day!

ok ********, 3 things........1st I wouldn't waste my gas on your little skittle. I didn't buy this car trying to be the fastest ******* out there (with the money I spent I'm sure I could have found something that would blow that little neon into the water where it belongs), I bought it because it is a refined tourer and was a great bargain for me, 2nd if you'd read this guy's post, he was calling out Cobalts because some Cobalt SS/SC owners claim to beat 350Zs and G35s. This is not far fetched at all, but I guess you'd rather spout off at the mouth thinking that little neon of yours is the ****. 3rd, if you think you can make me shut the **** up, then by all means try it. Thanks, and have a SHITTY DAY!

I wouldn't waste your gas either. No reason for you to use all that gas to look at my tail lights when you can see them when I'm parked. Yeah, you could've found something to blow my little"Skittle" outta the water, but you didn't so get over it. If you wanna race, LMK, I'd be more than happy to meet you halfway, beat your ass on camera, and make you look stupid in front of your buddies.

Some slips would be nice also because with your mods I am not convince you would walk any stock GTO or let me guess, you do all your racing from a roll?!

From a roll he kinda gotta jump, and I had to PacMan that chicken **** ****. Just because your slow ass is stuck in the 14's doesn't mean you can open your mouth. Get a 12 second time slip then come back and talk ****! BTW If you wanna do this race, LMK soon, cause I've got cams on the way!

Let me guess, black C6 Z06?? I know the guy, hang out with him often. Hes actually in a car club called Pure Dominance, and I hang out with these guys almost everynight. Was actually asked to be in they're car club, but denied, cause im alrady in one, so suck my left nut. Oh, and his name isn't Alex, you pole smoker, Its Adam.
Don't you feel like a *******! What a friend you are, can't even remember his name. And yes, He'd beat me, so what. I wasn't claiming i was faster than a C6 Z06, I'm faster than this douchebags stock 6.0 GTO. Why don't you take your truck, and go tow some ****, trucks aren't made to be fast(excluding lightning), so quit trying to make it faster. Devin

Third, you still have produced ZERO proof that your SRT-4 is anything better then a moderately modified 13 second car, that's if you even know how to drive. I understand the SRT-4 can be fast but you have proven nothing other then you can highjack a thread!

no on cares about your modded srt4 go ahead and be the fastest out there. If all you do is put down other peoples cars and talk up yours like it is the best thing ever you should not be here.

i do have a 15 second car it's becasue i can't drive im new to the 5 speed i did trap 105 at 15.002 though not bad for $700 i just need to work on launching. This just in everyone running 12's means you step up to the status of a man it makes so much sense now.

ROFOLFORLFOFL... Or something like that...
Why don't you guys just stfu and take a loss? TXRLU, you drive a Saturn so stfu. Your not a bad person I am sure IRL... Oh wait I have met you IRL... What did you want me to do, lie?
If you are driving a 15 second card at the track often without modding in between, my question for you is why? Why don't you stfu about your friends cars and just admit your slow?
And why would you morons jump in on a conversation and talk **** when it ain't none of your business? Do you feel more cool now?

Another person that can't read. I wasn't talkin bout a modded GTO, I was talkin bout his slow Stock one. You wanna talk about cars that no one has here. If there is anyone here with a modded 6.0 GTO, I'd sure love to race ya. Ima throw the BS flag on your 15@105. . Thats funny your still in the 15's. I've got crane 14 cams and Drag radials coming, so you go ahead and keep running your 15's while I get closer and closer to that 11 second mark.

That means im faster. If I beat him from a stop and a roll, guess what, hes not catching me in the 1/4 mile. I have a slip right here, that I ran a 13.301@108.06 with my mods minus the O2 housing, MBC, the new WGA, and front mount, on street tires that had 30% tread left. So i think thats good with stage 2, intake, and catback exhaust, on burnt up tires. Got anything else to say??

i was not talking **** just letting it be known that a srt4 is not the end all of cars its not the best thing out there. all in all my car does what i want it to do it runs quick regardless of e.t and it gets me to were i wanna go. **** i didn't know trapping 105 was slow i must have been mistaken.
