lol yea, my GF has a 97 mazda protege 1.5L four banger. they bought it used from Hertz rentals, talk about a motor that was beat to death. it still runs, but damn that car is sloooooow. also, my dad's new H3 is the world's slowest vehicle. getting on the freeway is hell in that thing, it rides smoothe though.

damn that's terrible. that's about what the damn H3 is though. the only time it feels "good" is at 5.3k when it's about to shift. it's a blast offroad at the beach. I told em I'd tune it with my HPTuners, but he's one of those guys who is **** about warranties, so it'll remain the slowest.

ya know what car is actually kinda quick is the infinity fx-35, my mom just got one and that **** hauls ***. I wanna run it at the track

My wife drives a G35. Same motor in a sedan, it can really get with it when you get up in the revs.

Yes, this last Saturday I was driving my 5.3L capable of mid 12's on motor. Over the weekend we took most of the aftermarket parts off and come Sunday night I drove off with a mid 14 second truck. Talk about slow!

Everytime I drive the truck two days in a row, the second day it feels really slow. Then I just hop in my 99 2.4L Malibu and the truck is fast again!!!

yeah that G35 hauls some ***.
i like the auto/half manual transmission too. doing the shifting yourself lets it get above 6200 easily.

just took the dune buggy for a spin earlier, and now I feel like my truck is pretty slow
time for more mods

sometimes it feels like the more you step on it, the slower it feels.

and ive raced a G35 2 door once and kept up. but this one morning on the way to work, there was a G35 sedan , the guy had to be a good driver. cause he wasted me, bad. i felt like i was racing in a geo.
