I'm sorry.....But I've driven all 3 of the mentioned vehicles. And the Zx3's 1/4 times are faster than 15.8....Which is what the SVT's are......Not to mention the fact that a Zx3 can also drop it's ET by doing a default Fuel cutoff mod.....Which leaves the vehicle stock, but not in stock specs...The Zx3 is a quicker car 100% stock..and 99.9% stock..

p.S.....I have a license..
 
vx220 turbo...

Other cars like the old group B rally's... We only got half of the models...

OOO i saw a Mitsu Starion today... Did they sell them over in the USA?

I don't understand. Why do I have to be the one who puts up with you at every turn?

The Ford Focus ZX3 does the quarter mile in 16.8 secs @ 81mph and 0-60 in 9.5 seconds; the Focus SVT does it in 15.6 secs @ 93mph and 0-60 in about 8.0 seconds.

You were wrong about the Cayenne, and you're wrong here too (though you left that one claiming you'd come back with some statistics - which you didn't. So I imagine you'll do the same here). Why would you ever believe a car with the exact same body style but 40 less horsepower and 10 less lb-ft of torque could be quicker than the more powerful version?

Holy crap dude, do you have any idea what you're talking about? Methinks not. If a car has the letter Z in its name, its INFINITELY faster than any car of the same kind that doesnt have a Z in its name. And you do know that ford based the ZX3 off of the nissan 300zx? I mean come on, things like this should be obvious to someone like you who claims to know a lot about cars...but oh well.
 
An interesting choice I'd like to nominate is the Renault Clio 24V. Mid-engined with more than 200+ horsepower. What's not to love from this French auto maker that is VERY active in Formula One?
 
man...i've been in an exige and started it up. it's definitly somthing i'd like...[but its the biggest pain in the ass to get into]

Actually, you're right - I wouldn't normally agree, but yesterday I lost a stoplight race to one of these:

I figured with that size its 185-horsepower engine wouldn't be a match for my car, but the 'z' added some extra power at about 4000rpm and away it went. :(
 
Hey, anyone seent he latest issue of EVO? They have a foursome with the M400, Exige S2, Challenge Strat. and the 911GT3RS. The Exige came in 2nd, 'hind the Ferrie!!!! All three cars I'd like to have on these shores.

Same issue, they have a Carrera GT vs. Mclaren F1 writeup!!!
