ATS Carbon LSD or Cusco RS if you plan to drive the car on the street more then the track. If the other way around any of them will suffice.

My car is sitting at Scott Performance as well. Did you see it when you dropped off your car? Its the silver one with the Volks SF Challenge with the Greddy TT? I am getting build-up.

I can't believe you just spent $15,000 either to better your car! To me, the price of a Z + $15,000 = a new car!

If its what you want though, thats cool. Im sure it will be nice!

Hmm...that parts list sounds really familiar...

I just saw your Z in the parking lot dropping my Z off to Ted today for some exhaust pipe tweaking. As for dropping that much money into the Z, it is like driving a new car. Just make sure you use that investment by driving/tracking the car. You will not be disappointed. As for finding a car at this same price point with the looks/stares that the Z receives, combined with that kind of power, a comparable is few and far between.

Yea 15 grand...... but I figure what kind of car has 500 hp and handles like the z for 45grand....?? NONE! I almost bought a new car this month cuz I had a good month... I looked at new corvettes....Drove one and drove an aps Z.. The Z was by far faster and handled a lot better.. The corvette was fast and handled good but nothing like the z....About the blown motor.. good that nuthing major....how much boost you going to run now that your built...

probably around 15-16 depends on how Ted tunes it. Since I have the E-01, I can tune for 2 settings. Low setting maybe around 450-475 rwhp, and high of maybe 500-575rwhp.

Damn!!! I didn't realize that there was so many TT z's around here. We should all head to the Drag strip or something and show these other car enthusiasts whats up. Im thinking a Sat at Sacramento.

Just got a call from Ted today. Looks like my block is damaged by the pistons. Ted has already ordered another block. Looks like it was worst than expected.
