no, i'm saying you can't discredit actual timed runs just because you think it "feels" faster.

oh, and a civic would have cost more than my car...

edit: minivans are amazing by the way lol i've been over 110 in one before...

but i can't prove those times. they're just what i found on the internet.

No, what he's saying is anything can FEEL fast, and not BE fast.

Wow this is funny..

A stock cobalt stands no chance in hell in beating a stock 350z...

A stage 2 cobalt vs a bolt on Z with a good driver will still lose by a car.

I've been that route before with ss/sc's

I haven't had any of them try since i put the blower on the Z..

btw stock times for mine was:
13.8@102 stock
13.4@103 alittle bit of bolt ons
12.2@115 with the s/c

YES thank you except your car stock dies after 85mph which is where a stage 2 with bolt ons would pull on you (without a blower)

Yeah...it sucks actually. It was the sole reason why I didn't get the car. The interior is really awkwardly proportioned. The door sits so high you can't even rest your elbow outside the window. Unless you weigh under 150lbs, your shoulders won't fit in the seat. I think the car was designed for small Japanese people.

I can't figure out how people put up with it here...Too many other rides out there to choose...why pick one that's uncomfortable?

The SRT's interior is junk and yeah, the seats are too small. I also love my share of McDonalds... Dude, I sat in the Recaro seats on our cars and they just BARELY fit me. The two tone leather seats (which I have) are a lot more comfortable

TOO BAD GM can't make a decent leather seat for the life of them...I started seeing noticeable wear within the first 1,000 miles...cracks everywhere.

Yup, it's almost like the engine just stops moving. I think it takes 10 seconds to get from 100-110 mph

IMO the escalade seats are pretty nice.. have you ever sat in one of those?

(i'm guessing its the same seats as a 3LT tahoe, so if you've sat in one of those.. i'll bet its the same.)

they never should have abandoned the TT 300zx motor. that would have done the 350z justice.

I have but I don't remember. If they are like the new Corvette seats:

They look decent but apparently they don't hold up very well either - Just not enough padding in the seats
