That's because they have to cover the wages and benefits for the employees. Health Care alone is a $12,000 yearly expense per employee.

^ That's the reason why american car companies are doing so shitty. In Korea and China all the Health Care is handled by the government so there isn't that additional expense for the company. Also, the labor rate is much lower. So foreign car makers are making huge profits on cars sold in the U.S.

sounds very unlikely. what a '94 vert run anyway low 15's maybe high 14's? a 350z auto should run low 14's. |

My car is a 5 speed, I have 300ft*lbs TQ at the rear wheels... and I am a damn fine driver.... 350z has a v6, makes no low end power, and most people don't know how to properly launch one. So... Get him off the line and you will win... especially with a 281 with PI heads... |

The 2nd race I got a good launch and so did he, and he couldn't pull ahead, and i slowly got away from him. They are quick, dont underestimate them.

i'm talkin stock for stock. yea 350z doesn't make as much torque as a Stang, but u have to be able to launch either car good. u take off too hard in a stang your stuck spinning. a 350z and a GT stock for stock, 350z i think would win majority of the time, depending on driver. now i know the new GT's are faster.... but the new 350z are too. i think an 07 GT and an 07 350z would be a very nice matchup

The car is a Japanese POS. It makes no low end power. As long as you know how to launch and shift properly. You will win. I did. In a slower car. In a faster mustang there should be no excuse for not being able to beat one. Unless they are different then they were 2 years ago. |
