Kabs,

Nice action shots! Z always looks great in motion.

Dave, just curious, what suspension mods do you have?

Very nice pics guys. Looks like you have a killer site there. Smooth and open. Whenever someone says something about my Z's body roll, I just tell them I'm driving it really hard

BTW: Anyone notice the kid with the red shirt in the Hooters pic? I think his eyes tell you he is wise beyond his years....

He must have been a breast-fed baby.

The site is great. It's at the State Police Emergency Vehicle Operations Center when they train the troopers. It has a 450' X 600' asphalt pad that we use for our Autox courses. It has huge lights for night operations so in the really hot summer months we run some night autoxes.

They do, I was truly amazed at how hard I could push them even in standing water. There was no way I could have even remotely done that with the stock Potenzas.

Looking at the above pic, may I make one suggestion on fine tuning your set-up? It looks like you're lifting your inside rear tire which is a serious no-no on a rear wheel drive car. Either switch to a larger front sway bar (or adjust your front swaybar to full firmness) and/or adjust your front shocks/struts to a firmer setting.

Edit: I see you've mentioned that you're on the stock suspension. I'd invest in a larger fsb which will help keep your outside front tire from compressing so much in tight corners which in turn will keep the diagonal rear inside tire from lifting as easily.

Thanks for the advice. It's possible that in the future I may start investing in some suspension mods.
