370z vs. Soltice GXP vs. RX-8 vs. 135i

A tick over 13.0 sec. and you're through the quarter-mile. It's a rush, of course, but not overly dramatic. Try the same thing with this pair's predecessors of 1970 or so and you'll find yourself in a bit of a wrestling match. Ain't progress wonderful? Maybe yes, and maybe sometimes it's fun to wrestle."

Anyone think the SS will be able to beat that 135?
That thing is quick. The numbers seem to be on the SS's side!

GOOO MAZDA!!!! if only mazda added 50hp to the car it would rock the socks off every car in this test.
wow that 370z can BOOT. those numbers are amazing. the bmw 135 is ugly as sin. i dotn car how fast it is the looks are brutal. i cantt say much about the solstice cause its just a waste of life. the real competitior for the camaro SS is the as its overall the better performer.

What is it that makes the GXP more badass than the other competitors?

Those 135s are easy and cheap to modify. ~380-400 whp is a straightforward proposition. Too bad the thing looks more effeminate than Prince. |
