If you're going to make a post, post in English otherwise have a moderator open a regional forum where everyone that speaks jibberish can hang out.

Posting in text message format should result in a permaban.

haha. Unfortunately this is how many speak currently as it is probably slated as easier and cool. I understand and can accept the acronyms from texting and IMing (as i use them myself too) however just dropping consonants and vowels, come on people!!! Go back to school and actually pay attention.


OP: is your car DE or HR? Temp, elevation/location, humidity etc all take account into performance. yes tires are big part too. However since it was your first strip, dont worry youll get better.

Not aware of anything new recently regarding bolt-ons for a Z. Or much of anything else performance wise as far as that goes. Drag racing is as much the nut behind the steering wheel as anything else anyway.

IMHO the stock potenza's suck if they've been worn down.

im guessing it was because i had more contact patch due to the lack of tread. got new tires so hopefully i can cut a 1.9 at least.
