Ballers in NYC park can give NBA players a run for their money and i'm not kidding. I've watch ballers next to Mickey D's (Manhatten ppl know where i'm talking about, by the Village) and they've got game there.
Yeah, Special Olympics.. well.... i've got some really really wrong jokes about that but i'm not going to go there. Auto-Xing a Z isn't as bad as it is. Last season, i've always been running about 2 to 2.5 seconds behind the #1 guy in my class. I had my instructor take my Z out and when he finished, he was in first place in the class (and 2nd in the class above mine). So it basically boils down to driver. He even commented that my Z (at stage 2) was strong and quick (and he drives a Porsche something.. like a 996 or something rediculous like that).

here's a couple of answers to your listed statement:

1) The Z sux for drag racing. Get a Mustang, bore, supercharge and NOS it to smoke a Z.

You've clearly showed this statement false.

2) The Z sux for handeling. Get a Miata, upgrade the suspension and brakes to run circles around the Z even more than it did stock.

Nah, my instructor (Angry Bob) would much rather Auto-X in my Z than a Miata.. pfft.. Miata, what a girlie car.. Hanz and Franz would never be cought dead in it.. lol, jk GR.

3) The Z sux for comfort. Get an SUV and go across country more roomy and comfortable.

Are you shitting me?

4) The Z sux for dependability. Get a Honda and have it floored everywhere you go and still get 200K+ out of the motor in stock form.

OK, that's a debatable subject. Some, with 250K+ on stock turbos, some...well.. <10K

5) The Z sux for gas mileage. Get a moped and get 8 times the MPG.

Gas??? I never once concidered MPG when i got the Z... last thing on my mind. Who's the chinese jew worried about MPG??? Cheap bastard!

So, don't me mad Adam, the Z is good in any field. Just needs a little workout (bot on parts) to make it competative in every class.

It amazes me to see that in the Tech section, there's procedures on how to pull the engine to 60K maintainence, but NO ONE HERE EVER CHANGED THEIR ALTERNATOR?????!!!!??
