Check these out for more ideas: (Installs done by me, RSX is my car, TL is my brothers )

Plan on doing the same thing with the addition of OBD for datalogging + camera when I pick up my Z, hopefully I can work out a nice deal so I have money for mods
. Would be kinda cool in AUTO-X, the weight for it is minimal (weight of a small pc or laptop basically).
Z is gonna be my first RWD was going to spring for the track because it had VDC but I guess I'll stick with the Enth. Hope I dont die
Even if the improvement is only 5-10hp, It'll definately be noticeable in the 1/4 especially with the higher red line and we also dont know if the gearing has been changed.

There's fat dudes that weight twice what I do beating the crap out of me week in and week out.

good luck on the computer. my g:

Just compare our Z to a freakin' Ford Mustang. That thing has supposedly more hp than ours, but can't deliver because it's geared to the moon.
Now take our car and compare to the S2000. The S2 has fd of 4.1 or something like that, which is much tighter, and it does very well against us on a track, even though we have the power-weight ratio advantage, torque band advantage.

Bluetooth in a car is the only 'safe' way to talk on the phone and drive. IMO My girlfriends mom has bluetooth in her maxima and its pretty cool. Hands free calls through the stereo!

well the charting the changes thread will have the facts. this new one will be a discussion like your having now just closer to the release of the car. that way you dont have to navigate through 40 pages of old stuff. kinda like cleaning up the thread a little

I don't think you'll be glad you didn't wait when the 07 Z's are on par (in stock trim at least) with EVO's and STI's.

I thought the 2007 G35c is not getting the new Engine and the Z is. I went to the International Car Show in New England and they had a 2007 g35c and the specs were the same as the 06.
