Hey Downshift, I got some really good pics of that car as well. I actually talked to one of their drivers for about 15 minutes or so. The car looked great. He said the handling was great on the track. He also said that they needed to find a solution for the stock ECU and that they had to change the diff due to extremely high fluid temps after like five laps around daytona. He also said that they use the Injen intake on their car.

As far as cooling goes it doenst matter which diff you have. When we first tested.......we smelled the stock diff after 5 laps. We are running a 16 row cooler on it now and Its still freaking hot.

Dwnshift,

When I crewed with the Genesis Race Team, running E36 M3 LTW's in Street Stock Series the diff. was the weak point. They tried several different brands of fluid and one actually helped the problem. Several good finishes were lost before they changed brands.......

Hey Downshift, sorry, I didn't realize that was you. I was the bald guy with the goatee who got into the paddock on Saturday with the cheap $40 ticket!! I'm dissappointed you guys won't be at sebring. I was looking forward to that.

You have the best job in the world. Were you happy for Buckler winning another one? Was that the same car 66 that you won mid-Ohio in? Have you developed camber plates for your Z when you lowered it? Having driven some of the other production cars in the R&T article how did you think the Z compared to 911Targa, E46 M3, Z06 Vette?

We have developed new upper control arms for the Z. It will be interesting to get the Z away from Daytona. That track is so different from anythng else because rearwheel cars always fight oversteer and FWD push. (the infield sucks) We plan on doing some more testing before the next race.
