also, comeon now... what kind of stupid statement is that? 'FWD don't need wings'

do you think the car is going to lift off and do a wheelie because of a wing? lol

No, it just shift weight to the rear when there is a down force. Just saying its more form than function. It would probably be better for it to have something inducing down force eaualy on all 4 corners.

sadly, you are just not thinking about this the right way. I hate to detail things for people, so I am not going to explain how your logic is flawed. figure it out yourself.

I'm so sad I was not the first to do this swap I wanted this for a long time.

but I was not doing as radical a build as you are, or have/had the budget to actually do this right. glad it was done in such a clean, detailed build. it looks amazing.

what, like 2 huge blowers?

IMO you should be respectful of people who are trying NEW things especially if you haven't contributed any unique contributions to the 350Z community

Well you can expect more replies to your thread as being rude and uncalled for.
What have you done to improve the Z community or take it to new heights my friend, besides bring us down with your waisted comment?

LOL


I love this forum and the egos AzSHOLiated with it.

I guess when its boosted with 1200RWHP you will at least raise a brow? This is just the begining...but I bet its hard to see past that ego....or yours?
lol

I crack me up!

that statement contradicts your statement, or you just have no idea what the goal of modding cars means.

the fact that as you said it looks 'clean' underscores exactly what was the point and accomplishments of this build was.

I don't know if you don't know, but swapping in an engine is not as easy as it sounds... at all. and the hype was for a V8 powered Z that retains factory accessories... guess what? lol, I am not trying to attack, just to point you in the correct mindset of this build. it looks factory (take away the GTO covers...)

now that sema is over, the engine will be finished and his monster turbo LSx will be put in at some point. then you'll be impressed.

what did u expect? he was swapping in an ls2 into his z... the end result: there is an ls2 in his z that runs and drives and uses stock gauges.

did u expect to see jessica albe having sex when he opened his hood or what?

Any who, how did it do at that event. Hows the car running?
in addition to what the others have mention's, wings help with high speed stability on all cars, and at 80+ (where the wing becomes effective) he's prolly not having much problems with traction

don't be so ingnorant, just cause it fwd drive, doesn't mean its the last pos in the world

*sorry for double post

Your comments seem a bit underhanded. Not sure what consumed you to post up considering you really don't give a f'k about Noah's accomplishments here, but I have to ask - have you EVER turned a wrench on your car? I'd assume the answer is no. Until you have the faintest idea what it would take to pull off a project like this, I'd suggest you stay out of the discussion...
