Hey Yobri, sorry for the late reply.......I've been on and off the forum lately. I was on a cruise 2 weeks ago and was in the city(embarcadero street) <-----(nuts) for the 4th. Anywayz, thanks for the welcome. I don't have a vanity plate at the moment but still condsidering it. I will definitely come out and meet up with some fellow NORCAL boyz/girlz.

i got a enthusiast black 350z, lol at the last meet i wasnt sure yet if i was going to get rid of my baby celica. Going to the meet man i miss my celica, my celi was way faster and it handled way better, but it was also just about maxed out without FI or a motor rebuild. I just gotta get use to the new car, and really see how much potential she has. Im sure we are going to setup another Auto RnD meet soon and i will make a new thread on it here as well for people to come.

yes, i consistently beat cars that had timeslips for 13.7 or more, i gtech my car at 13.5, im sure i can land somewhere around there at the track. But my celica was maxed out without either FI or a full motor build up. A car that has around or more than 200hp to the wheels and weighs around 2300-2400 is very fast. Especially if it revs up to 8.6k rpms. Plus my celica had the full hotchkis setup which was not only way lighter than stock, it pulls over a G on the skidpad. So my celica at its prime is faster and handles way better than any stock Z out there. But thats the thing, only a stock Z, thats why i went to a Z instead cause it has more potential to do more damage in the long run.

o im sure i will be happy, like i said i got my Z cause of its potential, and i plan to build my Z the same way i did my celica, which is a track car. I live 15 minutes away from Laguana Seca, which im sure you know is one of the best tracks in the world. My first mod isnt power things, but suspension. I want to get rid of this sloppy handling it has.

After I hit 13's I'm putting on some good sways. I have the nismo s tune suspension now, but I don't want the tight sways yet. I want the car to jump back on the rear wheels for now.
Then I will do the autoX and track days.
