I'm sure Grim isn't taking offense, just like I'm not. It's just expressing differing opinions.

I've come to the conclusion that you guys are all slow. Going to sell my 350z and buy a honda civic.

Make sure you get one of those really big mufflers on the back of it.

If they drag on the ground they add an extra 10 whp, over the 129 whp that is already added by the exhaust note.

And get wheels with open spokes too - I've heard that sticking a playing card in and holding it in place with a clothespin so it makes a noise when the wheel rolls adds an extra 18 hp!!

The bit about the playing card did it for me.

If you take off the exhaust system, it will make your car lighter.That will give it more Horse power!!

....And the "forum" would be useless. On top of that, someone can easily miss a great write up by failing to use that one key word in their search, or maybe the title of the write-up was mis-spelled in the first place.

I'm all for searching, but seeing people whine about the use of it is ridiculous.

I love reading posts like this, by people who have either: A) never been or used a forum correctly, or B) have the internet intelligence that of a F rated lab rodent. Yet these are the same people who continuously go on the 350Z FB groups and talk crap about how "misunderstood or abused" they were on my350z.com.

Also Vtec is the reason you smell burning in your Z
