I love that car, it's actually got the balls to back up it's ricey look.

[EVILZ33]

not a big fan of the car

[97talon]

Not a fan of the ion but not bad.

[bmxer99]

damn, its ugly but shit if its fast who cares?

i think that car miiight be faster then me from a dig... lol nahhhhh

[B18BSol]

Oh my god, G-A-Y

ANY fwd car with almost 300 whp from a dig would light up the tires, it would have also lit them up in second when racing (my car is like 150 hp and chirps them in second).

ALSO, that was either...

1) A N/A 300ZX

OR

2) A TT 300ZX that wasn't going...

I call BS...a large steaming pile of STAGED BS..get the hell out of here

Who said the TT Z had 300 HP???

Stock for stock (depending on the year of the Z) their times/speeds are pretty close. Add 100 hp to the ion and it would be faster than the Z.

[subyguy2006]

Depending on the year of that "Z" It should only go 0-60 in about 5.7 I know for a fact that a STOCK red line will do a 5.9-5.7 And if you added even more power..well what do you think! Now as for having traction prob, yes it will but if you know how to launch, shift, and drive...no prob. My opnion anyways

[B18BSol]

Please, show me another 294whp front drive car that doesn't spin from a dig when shifting to second, unless he's running drag slicks on the street, I even them should hear some sort of "chirp"

As far as "who said the 300ZX TT had 300 hp" comment, that's what they come with stock if I am right and that thing HAD to be stock, but I don't hear anything from inside the cam car that suggests to me it was boosted. I still call N/A and I call STAGED STAGED STAGED!



...damn kids

[EVILZ33]

i too vote for that shit being staged

When I said "who said the 300ZX TT had 300 hp" I was talking about at the wheels. Yes, the 300ZX TT does have 300 hp (280 in an automatic) at the crank. That would put it closer to 255 (in the manual) at the wheels. So the Ion has a 40 hp advantage AND weighs around 600 lbs less. It wouldn't be a hard win.

Fair enough about the "at the wheels", I was talking at the crank, no big deal, but honestly 97talon, you can't tell me that Ion would beat a TT Z that bad...honestly. You can also tell by the white lines on the road that the Z is not even trying. Also:

1992 Nissan 300ZX Turbo 0-60: 5.7 1/4 mile:14.2
1993 Nissan 300ZX Turbo 0-60: 5.2 1/4 mile:13.8
1994 Nissan 300ZX Turbo 0-60: 6.0 1/4 mile:14.4
1995 Nissan 300ZX Turbo 0-60: 5.5 1/4 mile:13.9

however...

1991 Nissan 300ZX 2+2 N/A 0-60: 7.5 1/4 mile: 15.9

and...

2004 Saturn Ion Redline 0-60: 6.3 1/4 mile: 15.3

now, that is a stock reading, but you can see my point regardless. Add 100 whp to the Ion and if it is beating a TT Z by what, 8-10 lengths, it is running 12's or faster. Now, try and tell me again that is a TT Z or that he was trying or that the WHOLE DAMN THING IS BUUUUUUUUUUWWWWWLLLLSHHHYYYTTT

:banghead:

[97talon]

Those numbers are great..... for comparing cars in magazines. However they leave something very important out, THE DRIVER. And with close to 300whp the ion is probably running in the 12's.
