Default 2007 z running hot

I had fun at englishtown yesterday, even though i drove 2 1/2 hours to get there from CT. I feel very good about my runs, this is my first time againt the tree. And i would apreciate any comments. I was car # 120 and here is a link to the video of the best run. And i love the way she sounds.

Not a bad 60ft on the 2nd run, but the trap went away...

Great driving!

Got a few questions:
What are you launching at?
Are you feathering the clutch or throttling the power? (rolling into it?)
Are you shifting at 7,500 or sooner?
When are we going to see more videos?

Thanks,
Brady

ty, my best run was launched a 3-3.5k and it was feathered. i tried throttling it on one run, but the track was too sticky so that was a boged run. i shift at 7200 - 7300 rpm, and when i get home tomorrow ill post more vids.

10lbs per corner? As in 10lbs per wheel? Talk about lightweight!

my really bad run at least the car look cool. car sounds like a sick vq (clutch slipping and redline holding 7.5k for a few seconds)
