    IDK, the new Z is looking very interesting and one of the reasons I'm hesitant on ordering the Scat Pack. They are supposed to reveal the production model August 17th. It sounds like it will be fairly easy to get to the 500-600ish hp range and a lot cheaper than modding the Challenger. Cost of the car and gas, ect. should be a little less too. But the front end doesn't look right to me and it will never have the sound of a V8 and not as practical as a Scat Pack either. I thought about a Supra or something like the M240i too, but they have some major quirks IMO.

    If you're referring to the Nissan Z you will experience violent, component breaking rear wheel hop when you break the tires loose due to the IRS and LSD. No one's been successful eliminating the problem including your's truly (traded a 370 Z on my Challenger).

    I actually ordered a 1320 this past weekend and already thinking of some minor mods and what wheels and tires to go with for daily use.
