This is about a 1 hr video of me at Thunderhill on Oct 1st, 2005...it's bascially unedited, but I think the resoultion and sound quality came out failry well. Next time I'll have to add some foam around the mic so there isn't too much static. The car is completely stock except for an AEM CIA.

 

should of done the 3-2-1 dori dori rocket instead of going through the chicane...

(if u watch alot of BMI u'll know what im talking about lol)

 

Very nice. That over-the-top s curve reminds me of laguna seca. Your car seemed pretty balanced when it was starting to slide in the turns!

 

the cork screw you mean?

 

That looked like a whole lot 'o fun!!! I bet it beats the crap out of racing on my PS2!! Well done.

 

here's the 2nd 1/2 of my day...it's also 1 hr. (some time this year I'll have to make a compilation vid that's much shorter!)

I only saw 5 laps and you seem to push every lap harder. What was the top speed on the straight away?

 

top speed is around 115-120MPH...I had to either hold it at 4th gear at redline for about 1-2 seconds, or shift to 5th and then shift back down to 4th for turn 1.

I had only dirven the Z about 2,500 miles at that point and it was my first track event with the Z; there was a big learning curve.


*if anyone has pointers or advice, feel free to comment away.

 

awesome video! did you like the way the car handled with the TVS1 ?

 

I just put on the TVS 1 kit on...I can't wait to go back and see the difference. (I only had an intake during that track event)

 

wow, only 2500miles on the Z and it's already seen the track.

How much was admission?

 

Thanks for sharing. What kind of cam did you use? Bullet? Where was it mounted? Tow Hook?

Thanks!

 

ure so lucky u have company car! if i had a company car, i would be at the track the next day i got the car hahaha

 

-the track day was around $180.

-the camera was mounted to the front tow hook; it was a survalence camera that had a plastic hemispehere around it (I had borrowed it from work, so I'm not sure what the specs are). I had used some tape to keep the wires mounted to the car...you can still barely see the marks from the tape-next time I'll try running the wiring through the fire wall.

-I'm trying to get as much track/autoX time in it...it's a 3 yr lease; in 2 1/2 yrs, don't buy a used SB enthusiast from a dealer in Bellevue, Washington (lol),
