meego (mugheera on youtube) I think you're full of shit.

:D

Do you remember me bro - Clint -mmg? Very nice car man - someone told me you had an M3 but I guess you sold it off for this. Anyways thumbs up on the mods and power.

Im running a fairly tame G35 (grounding kit, z tube, jwt intake, plenum spacer, hks exhaust) soon with Works VS-XX gold rims.

We should catch up sometime - drop me an email clinthammer (at gmail dot com).

cheers man

If all the cars are fractory spec and no chips, mods at all, it is hard to see a merc E65 beat a F430, maybe the same in a straight line.

As for the lumina, if it was manual, you would probably be a few car lengths behind, at higher speeds, the aerodynamics will make you loose.

I have seen a SS lumina w/manual tranny beat a CL55 AMG, but just.

Power and torque is nothing.

You still have weight, trans ratios, diff ratio..............i could go on days mentioning this.

I know a swedish Ferrari tuner who made that baby F355 to push over 797whp and 720tqw with a twin turbo and running 8 psi. It all coms down to car, overall drivability, and a ton of other factors.........just saying xxxwhp and xxxtrq is nothing.

All i am saying is that both cars, factory stock trims in everyway, which one would you really go for?

The F430 is faster than a Lumina SS, and mind you, the Lumina SS is not a driver's sports car, it is a sedan, built as a sedan, The Ferrari, is built for track/street.

The ferrari, and other exotic cars, are built to last 20+ years, hence why exotic materials are used in construction purely for reliability, and that comes with a big price tag.

The lumina SS it not designed to last 20 years, hence why the design changed i believe three times? in a short period. I am not saying the lumina is a crap car at all, i am saying that you are comparing two different cars with two different build and purpose behind them.

When we start talking aftermarket modifications, it is a whole new game park, either car could be pumping out some serious equippment.

But never compare a stock car with a modded car, it is not fair/right.

Boost I don't support any one of them but I am trying 2 correct you because you don't really seem 2 agree with Meego that his SS coupe can beat a Ferrari and in some way think that he is lying,it s not you but your "favourite" qoute"THE TRUTH CANNOT BE DENIED"!!!
