Hi,

I read some posts stating that the Z's handling is not good on wet roads. I disagree. It has been raining here so much for the last three days. Took my Z out, hills, down, up , twisties, highways whatever, the car performed beautifully on wet roads with BAD asphalt. I had VDC on all the time and I have 18s. When I really push it, the VDC kicks in and zoom back on track....

A question,

Do engines come tuned differently, or loose their tune?. I have a kick azz mechanic here who claims he can optimally tune the car for it to perform at its best possible and for it to crank out every HP. Is he BSing me or?.....

Thanks for your feedback,

MoZi

PS: ..... and I love that Bose system

 

Could someone knowledgeable comment on the tuning part, pleeeaaaze....

Thank you,

MoZi

 

I seriously doubt a mechanic is going to crank much more out of a new engine than the manufacturer. And why take a chance on the guy screwing up your car for a few extra ponies?

 

Thanks Rat,

Actually, the guy is a mechanical engineer. Porsche, Ferrari and other sports cars owners swear by him.

What happened is that he saw my modified Injen cold air intake , drove the Z and said that the car needs to inject more fuel to match with the added air. Otherwise, the CAI is having a negative effect rather then a positive one, and that is what he wanted to tune. Make any sense?

wouldnt you need a chip first?

 

Ask him how he plans on doing that.... I think it'd take more of an electrical engineer than a mechanical engineer to "tune" our car in said manner...
