PT Cruiser beats Nissan 300ZX

[Cartmanland98]

dude.. seriously, I know there's pt lovers out there but anything over 13 seconds is NOT a fast car. Just stop it. Also, that 300z must have been normally aspirated and running on 3 cylinders to be that slow... jeeez

[jabba12000]

15.3 is a terrible time... a stock Z can easily run 14's.

[blondecavefish]

I've seen this car at the track ... It's wicked fast! What I like most about it is that nobody expects it to be that fast ... It's fun keeping people guessing!

[julingy]

pt's are the ugliest vehicles ever invented... its hilariously obvious that the same designer made the HHR... you know the one designed after a cartoon hippo ....

disgusting

[blondecavefish]

@julingy Oh, I disagree. The ugliest car ever is the Aztek. THAT's a butt-ugly car!

PT Cruisers are extremely spacious and comfortable inside with lots of storage room. Their turning radius leaves a bit to be desired.

[zeekwolfe]

I've owned a lot of cars including Mercedes and Cadillac, but the PT Cruiser I bought on a whim during the 'cash for clunkers' program is perhaps the best care ever. No, it does not have automatic this or that, a wood dash, or plush leather seats, but this car is reliable (never needing warranty work of any kind) and fast. I recently drove it to the Grand Canyon. Air conditioning ran cold, the heater ran hot and it was a pleasure to drive all the way.

[mariehansler]

Nice...I like seeing this. Check this out, my wife has a 2007 PT Cruiser and I  posted a video of it going beside a Replica of that Orange Toyota Supra from The Fast & Furious....the video was recently on YouTubes featured page and their homepage.

But please read the description before commenting.

[TheTalonTsi]

I'd buy a 300zx way before a pt cruiser any day, but then again, im not gay.

[ChrisHansenism]

@TheTalonTsi Yeah Im not happy either, however I am a proud owner of my inherited PT cruiser, thanks to my grandfather.

[irken8313]

Yeah, so this is an N/A 300 racing?... makes sence... A stock TT 300 will run 14sec 1/4 all day.... Nice try lol

[DiepSpartan117]

Booooooooooooooo

[megaluisdeth]

I want a 300ZX

[freestone21]

nooooooooo pt cruiser. that 300zx wasent even a twin turbo, pt crusiers a pussy shit.

[darknesswithinn46]

you pt haters can get screwed...........if u dumbasses would look close....the pt gets the win light at the finish......f'n retards...........prob never even has your shit ass cars to a real track.......running mine tomorrow to check stock times before i start playing with it......have fun kid and keep rockin the ultimate sleeper..........mopar for the win!!

[irken8313]

@darknesswithinn46 LOL I wouldn't brag about bringing a PT to the track....

[rthing]

I should kick the living shit out of the 300zx driver for loosing to this piece of shit. I can run a quarter mile faster fucking all you PT owners mum 1 by 1 down the run way and still get there faster then ur fucking homo sexual Cruiser.

[volvocare]

The pt cruiser gt seems to be a sleeper. I love mine and surprise people after people on how quick it is...

[delhome60321]

PT Cruisers frigging rule!

[conradb212]

It's a a 2004 PT Cruiser GT. The only modification is the Mopar stage 1 upgrade, which replaces the computer. My best 1/4-mile run was a 14.55. Due to the higher weight, the PT isn't quite as fast as the SRT4, but it's definitely quick. When I beat the Nissan 300ZX, I ran around a 15.3 or so. This was a time trial run, so it was heads-up, not bracket racing.

[pkandaj3]

@conradb212

How much money did you put into that pt cruiser to make an upgrade?

I have a 2005 Pt Cruiser standard edition

[CHVY4LNCH]

haha well all it is a SRT4 engine in it s they are pretty fast but that must have been a stock 300zx or actually was it a Twin turbo model? cuz Im not tryin to diss or sound like im baddass but I havent lost yet against a SRT4 and they were very well buit and im running low boost on my turbo 300zx. But what did you run? Ive been wanting to know what I run but the track were I live has closed down (f*ing sucks)

[conradb212]

@CHVY4LNCH It's a a 2004 PT Cruiser GT. The only modification is the Mopar stage 1 upgrade, which replaces the computer. My best 1/4-mile run was a 14.55. Due to the higher weight, the PT isn't quite as fast as the SRT4, but it's definitely quick. When I beat the Nissan 300ZX, I ran around a 15.3 or so. This was a time trial run, so it was heads-up, not bracket racing.

[Fairlazy]

@conradb212

If you ran a 15.3 and beat this guy then it shows he's either running an NA Z (nothing impressive to beat there) or he can't drive worth shit. I run an automatic twin turbo 90 zx and the thing runs 13.50's without any burnouts and a 3000 rpm launch. Still, must suck to be the guy in that 300.

[shawnkrause871]

Oh you're so full of shit. The 300zx obviously won that. Is your self esteem that low that you have to lie about winning a race?

[skuzziboi]

hahaha YES PTs Kick ASS!

[YonMoor]

WHOA GUISE LIKE BOTH THESE CARS ARE AWETHOMB!

[candle2k]

Haha, I be the 300ZX owner is like, WTF??

[jdmcivic91]

@drothefuture sorry to burst your bubble but thats 230whp your n/a 300zx MABYE, puts down 180whp.Which equals 230hp at the flywheel.. HAHA!!

"your acting like a 300zx person that runs 16's"

how old are you?

[foshizzlefizzle]

OH my gosh! What's in your engine, a chip?

[drothefuture]

Why the fuck would you event think of modding an ugly ass PT Cruiser?! You're fucking morons. Go buy a 300zx, they're better.

[jdmcivic91]

@drothefuture hope this makes you feel better.. type this in youtube search box..

Acura RSX Type S Vs Nissan 300ZX

need a tissue? haha

[campuscolt65]

@drothefuture Im so sick of people talking trash on everyones car because you may not like the looks and who is to judge what is better. You can make anything fast and i would rather have a pt that runs twelves than a 300zx it would crush your opponents pride if there car lost to a pt cruiser!

[RECodeVeronicaDC]

no way!!

[98montecarloz34]

ya the grociery geter for the win!

[edwinC08]

uh i own a 300zx and my mom owns a pt.......uhhhhhh im scared hahhaa

[daylow1923]

i have a 04 turbo wit mods, this bitch like its on fire!!!! i have stomped the shit out of a lot of v8's! its fun to see their jaw drop!!!

[unclebenz7]

N/A 3Z's are slow as balls, and pt cruisers are a pita to work on. But I do agree with buying a manual trans Chrysler for obvious reason

[knownyme]

also it is not the car its the driver.

[knownyme]

ask the same question on why some one would want to modify a dodge neon, a freaking hyundai and a kia. Who cares what type of car it is. if the person who modifies a pt cruiser likes it then let them be. PT cruisers are decent I own one and you know what I'd rather have a damn cruiser and drive it to its fullest than be one of those dumb fucks who has a fast ass car yet drives like a fucking old person and only uses it just to show off. quit hating on it I'd rather drive a cruiser than a buggy.

[pcmman3]

One more thing about the PT, if you have a 2005 or earlier year model you can put a full 4foot by 8foot piece of plywood or drywall in the back after you remove the two back seats. The back hatch will close down and you secure it with just one piece of wood. You can also put 12 foot pieces of lumber in the car (if you have no passengers) AND close the hatch! Show me another car that will do this!!!

[drothefuture]

@pcmman3

You're a fucking moron. You don't race an economy car. You're talking like a fucktard with a civic running 9's. Nobody cares about your civic!

[pcmman3]

The PT Cruiser is one of the best designed and built economy car you can buy. They run for ever if you take normal care of them! I am on my second PT which is a 2005. I always buy manual transmissions for obvious reasons. The car gets 31 MPG on the highway and 27 MPG city. The car has AMAZING acceleration and I have taken it to 120 MPH and it would have gone FASTER! This 2005 has 70,000 miles on it and the first one (2001) is still on the road with 200,000 miles!

[papachuck63]

We just bought a 05 PT Turbo Limited with 26K original miles. I can not figure out why they want to stop making them. It's a great car. Runs like a bat out of Hell.

[Cartmanland98]

@pcmman3 lol if they last forever, why are you on your second one? Seriously, look up PT Cruiser problems on google and then say they're the best designed lol.

[markymark9172]

hey slightlyevil, pt's ARE awful and very poorly built and finished. I have 10 years as a master tech on Chrysler so DO understand them and have a more than valid view of them. they suck ass.

[PassionSilvery]

What's so bad about them I just bought a 2008 PT and they work great, I don't see the problem?

[Slightlyevil]

Whoever thinks PT's are ugly needs their head checked....Go make fun of the little Volkswagon jettas and honda civics and leave these cars alone...

People hate what they don't understand...

[tubesrule1227]

no you have it all wrong. We understand that retards like you drive pt cruisers. and we still think that they are ugly.. pussy!

[Slightlyevil]

Fucking einstein

[gunny556fly]

ill have to take my moms pt cruiser gt turbo to the super nats this year and see how she does since ill be 16 this year (she probably wont trust me lol)

[toyznstuff]

PT cruisers look OK, i bought a 2006, but it is designed & built by retards! i can't wait for chrysler to go bankrupt & quit giving us shitty cars made in mexico!

[CristhianS]

Please can you tell me what's your top speed? My 2003 PT limited edition governor won't let me pass through 117 mph. I guess yours is higher.

[Childrenofpwnom]

Some Pts come with speed limiters I believe. Google it, I know there are kits for taking them off.

[beatusmongous]

@CristhianS I got my 2000 PT to 124 when I had it.

[bluegoose03]

Another Victory for the Torque Monster (2.4L Turbo) The PT Cruiser GT is the ultimate sleeper. No one gives it a chance.

[SR20DETDOG]

That's because no one expects some one to be stupid enough to try and modify them.

[zx2012]

MADE IN MEXICO

[ralatorre9]

that's why it won baby

[V3n0m667]

The Z in this video is pretty much a ricer. If you look closely you can see the bird splitting spoiler on the rear. More then likely it was driven by some 17 year old wannabe gangster. Beside's I doubt this is the TT model because of the lack of the rear turbo spoiler. My Z32 is my baby, it makes me want to punch a baby when people rice them out.

[InfamousKane]

Stock PT?

[conradb212]

Stock 2004 PT Cruiser GT. MUCH faster than the standard PT.

[Inuyashatg98]

damn dude nice, i'm picking up my 05 GTPT today.

[OUfootball2010]

at least the 300zx doesnt look like shit

[marcalin1990]

dont underestimate the power of the Pt Cruiser

[DrHershey]

Nissan Skyline nuff said...

[31compton13]

Haha hey dICK

FACE TYPE IN SKYLINE VS PT CRUISER CRUISER WINS 3 TIMES!

[isthisforreal04]

props to the PT if it did win, hard to tell from the vid... but why would anyone wanna make a PT go fast?... it's a terrible looking car

[starionboi]

Its a grandpa car.. my dad has one that is a gt h.o.. 5 speed... we have all the go fast goodies that go on a srt-4 neon... and it is rated as much as the neon... shorter wheel base a lil skinnier but much taller. we get s2k/sti/ well shit even gto's 6.0... it even out runs our srt-4 caliber. so yeah. its like getting a geo and smokeing peeps with it... its called sham. granny/grandpa car is fast.

[emirthegreat18]

why would you want to make a Honda go fast? Because you can and we want something with more class than a honda coupe.

[PoeticDeathJuggajugs]

the pt cruiser is a love hate car. You either love it or you hate it, I have never found a middle ground for them. I happen to love them.

[drummaster2245]

I'm sick and tired of all you little punk ass bitches that think your little rice buckets can smoke anything. I got a PT that will put you all in shame, its non-turbo and does 13's on the 1/4. Figure out how to make your little v-tech DO THAT!!!

[Scrathy]

american L2.4 engines all the way!

[barryplem]

It probably wouldn't be that hard.

[DangerousSexOffender]

FUKKIN RIGHT MAN!! my pt would own alot of these peice of shit cars

[cjmorton]

Right on. im in the same boat as you. though mines a 2003 2.4L Turbocharged. never took its time yet but i will

[loginname2828]

I am also a PT owner and I know exactly what you are saying. It keeps on amazing me the engine puts out more than I ever, ever thought it can. For a small engine it blows me away too! Keep on Cruzzzzzzing, bro!

[drummaster2245]

Ok everyone really needs to stop slammin' on PT Cruisers. I have seen PT Cruisers smoke all the shit cars you all claim to have. My PT as well as just about all others in these videos will put your corollas, scions, hondas, etc to shame!!! I'm running 13's in a non-turbo cruiser, you just have to know how to do it!!!

[alstoy09]

is this the turbocharged edition pt cruiser?

[marcalin1995]

if chrysler beats a nissan (sport) and its not a turbo one. I dont wanna see the turbo 1 can do.

[FishBoneSkeleton]

na no way. my altima 2.5 killed a pt cruiser the other day. and when i mean killed, i mean left him in the dust. it has to be turbo one with some kinda work.

[lavakava]

lol pt cruiser sucks! i traded in my pt cruiser for a kia. and kia is better!

what does this tell you? nothing surprising since the big 3 beggars are diseappering...and chrysler especially.

[pericles300]

es inaudito .. como es posible eso aqui hubo algo sospechoso a demas el 300zx redujo la velocidad alultimo... yo he ganado a muchoa coches con mi 300zx ... un golf gti no me sirvio para nada, ni un impala nuevo .punto

[keitherts]

so it's fast, but at the end of the day, it's still a pt cruiser

[WiK3]

hahaha true

[MrMigs24]

lol this reminds me of the time i beat an 03 chevey malibu with my purple pt cruiser on the highway, this guy challenged me and i accepted it i had 3 friends in the car and they had 2 guys and 3 girls in there and i beat that cars ass badly. later i found out that one of my cop buddies pulled over the chevy and the guys were the only ones left in the car lol

[prm2188]

thats the gayest story in this whole forum

[tmd963]

a chevy malibu is dumber then a pt cruiser

[conradb212]

All the kiddie trashtalk doesn't change the fact that turbo Cruisers are fast. It's probably the humiliation of being beaten by a PT Cruiser that's make some folks froth at the mouth. :-)

[Inuyashatg98]

lol

[drothefuture]

@conradb212

Fast? Wtf? 230 HP turbo? Seriously? My fucking N/A 1990 300zx gets that much HP you tard.

[mag1kus]

Actually, the Nissan 300ZX won because its a far better looking car. You only drive a pt if you have a fetish for bathtubs, are too stiff to swivel your hips and sit any lower than the elevation of a dining room chair (possibly caused by never having exercised in your life), or most likely because you enjoy looking at and touching ugly objects.

[Franko94]

or if u cant afford a dam 300Z

[dlygrind]

You're right about the lowly cruiser part, those cars are the worst!

[fst96max]

pt cruiser = one of the ugliest and gayest cars ever made. No argument here thats just a fact

[mugee18]

pt fag cars might as well shuv a dick up your ass

oooh your so cool in a pt girls laff at u

pts are for moms or homos so go suck a big dick

dont bother replying im just tellin the truth

im not about to fight a homo on u tube

[idontevengiveashit]

Keep your souless shoe boxes fag boys my PT looks awesome. Pitty it dont turn so good.

[mugee18]

pt cruisers are for homos

[RegardVisagie]

Well thats your opinion so keep it to yourself. poes

[jasonbobbymiller]

My dad and i share one (because i'm 16 and don't have a car) Our PT is fun to drive.

[shortcake99]

I just got a PT and i love it !!

[PresidentBrittany]

The Cruiser is such a tight car.,.I love mine. Nice win!

[cacophonious]

After the summer of 2009 there wont be anymore of these pieces of junk. Thank God for small favors. Its such an ugly car it doesn't even have a category for itself. SAD for the car and owner.

[ItBeOmit]

ha, people ragging on pts... go drive your fukn minivans... my rides tight.

[Keatonus]

that 300ZX was a non turbo... but good race anyway =]

[gumper1986]

The 300ZX was even dialed in slower than the PT. What's wrong with the turbo PT? My sister has one, and it's kinda cool beating super cool wannabe racers in their Civic Si's.

[GWprojects]

u cant even tell who won...LIAR!!!

[conradb212]

In drag racing, the white light next to the lane shows who won. Look again and you'll see.

[monkeyturd15]

@GWprojects haha do u not know what drag racing is?

[Gornin8]

that looks like a crap nissan and a souped up pt

[integgy95]

It doesnt matter that you beat the 300zx..which btw it barley looks like you beat him, if in fact you actually did...PT CRUISERS ARE STILL SHITBOXES!!!!

[conradb212]

Keep in mind that a Stage 1 turbo Cruiser makes around 260 hp and 260 ft-lb of torque. It's a very far cry from a non-turbo.

[carmelofan15a]

wanna kill myself after seeing a pt cruiser win

[cocksuckerfaggotmodi]

buy any chrysler and get pt cruiser free. new scheme gm has launched.

[jasamaha8]

Chrysler is not GM...

[hothatchpa]

Nice video.. I just got my PT Touring and now plan on getting a GT and modding it heavily.. I also own a SRT-4 Commemorative.

The PT has a special charm though..

[conradb212]

Hehe... I am old, I don't need to look sexy in my Stage 1 PT. :-) But the fact remains that a 14.4 second 1/4-mile car is pretty fast and surprises a lot of folks.

[electropentatonic]

omg to be beat by a pt cruiser.lol but good work

[dulcechiquitica]

lol it may sound crazy but i killed a Tc today getting out of college, anyways they are not made to race, like the name they are made to cruise.They r girly, nd I do no think guys look sexy driving a Pt like mine "aqua blue".

[funkiliciouus]

its a mans car hence the term woody.

[54spiritedwill54]

now thats wut im alkin bout!

[SeanMartinez14]

omgosh pt are soooooo GAY!!! i see them all the time in my town with stupid as flames on the hood!

how can you drive around in that?

do they really think its cool?

[fastpace48]

i thought they were pretty gay to, but once you drive one there pretty tight...and i'm used to german sports cars

[angryzacky]

this was my first car starting out in gran turismo 3

[kenbo911]

lol same here, used it to win in the super speedway in the sunday cup 30 times and bought an rx7.

[angryzacky]

ironically as a matter of fact i bought a 300zx lol

[wkndr4life]

Same here! Hahaha.

[HelloVikizm]

People who need to get a life

[Jimmmytt]

damn a pinto ...what did you roll it in???must of been some big orange papers...

[drbastien]

my nickname is drbastien , this is my pt dream cruiser, if you wanna watch my videos look for "pt turbo vs civic sir" or "pt cruiser turbo vs vectra" see ya!!!

[alsimmonsxspawn]

I love racing people in my pt.

sometimes at the red lights, i doubt they even know i'm racing them. but i am.

[Jasmat]

just smoked a mustang gt today with my pt , just wanted to say that .

[konakona1]

Well I smoked a Ford Pinto yesterday, beat that smartie-pants.

[JLee1989]

right...

[jackielyon87]

what have you done to make it beat a stang gt? i got the stage 1 kit but it needs more balls to play with those cars!

[ajhnson]

Hey jackielyon87...

I had a sleepy turbo cruiser try and flex his muscle on me tonight on I-95 in my 04 mustang gt. Not only did I run away from idiot boy like a scolded dog but my car is not running the best right now because I just finished installing a racing front end, centerforce clutch and LT's and haven't had a chance to get an alignment and dyno tune yet.

If you wanted muscle, why on earth did you buy a sleepy cruiser? They are not fast at all and certainly not in our league.

[fastpace48]

your league?, go race a an Audi S series, or BMW M,and see how good your "league" really is

[conradb212]

Runs a 14.5 best with nothing but Stage 1 (which is a replacement computer), now wga, no intake. Car weighs 3350 pounds without driver.

[joethevan]

I ran 14.6 @ 97 with my bone stock PT GT.... try unhooking the battery between runs... it resets the computer and it will hold more boost.

[jtcreasy]

trust me that was no Twin turbo 300, if it was the pt would have been left at the line, nothing against the pt, but just facts. friend has a pt turbo, pretty quick off the line stock, no top end yet.

[airbournemike]

definitely an N/A. A stock TT gets high 13's so even on his best day he wouldn't win against one....unless the driver really sucked, haha! i've only seen the turbo pt's on the dealership lot so this is my first time seeing one run, they are kinda quick! should put it up against my '94 stealth R/T TT to see where it stands with a REAL fast car, HAHA!! NICE though!!

[realtoorz]

I love this, it's all about the underdog!

[Bapesta916]

PT Cruisers are way lighter, of course it's gonna win. Simple science.

[Fox1991]

DONT UNDERESTIMATE those PT Cruisers! I've seen them beat modded Camaros and Mustangs before too!

[conradb212]

Stage 1 (computer upgrade) is all. :-) Thing runs a 14.4 flat now.

[sleeksilver]

If it is a NA 300ZX that is no big suprise, they were heavy pigs with a underperforming motor. Turbo PT would be much faster.

[11ebuTuoY11]

got DICKED by a pt... hellz yeah :p

[elderboy02]

What modifications are done to the PT? What year is the PT? I have a 06 PT non-Turbo.

[LordDrakos]

stage 1 for sure, wga, intake mod, too many potential mods to list.

[pimpinhoes17]

hell yea thats wut im alkin bout! I GOTTA PT 2!! and they aint no punks!
