well this evening, after replacing wastegate gaskets, i had to go for a spin. during this flogging of my car, i was trying to remember what the car was like stock. sure as h ell was nothing like it is now!!!! the exhaust note, the turbo's venting, the clutch (always holding my concentration), and the acceleration. looks like i created another monster, lol. i have made and owned some fast cars but the Z is truely one of a kind. this s o b needs traction badly!! 4th gear and nearing full throttle at 80mph, and i feel the rear end shutter looking for traction in the dry.
curious of other peoples stories with an f/i Z.

 

Don't have a F/I Z but not getting traction up to 4th gear sounds scary as hell.

Must be a blast to drive though!

 

Normally, 3rd gear traction isn't too much of a problem with the Tnetics kit and some nice sticky S-03's, but with the roads cold as they are lately (and with 11.5 PSI of boost ), I've been breakin' the back end loose with relative ease. It's only been a few months since I've been F/I, but I can't remember what the car felt like before the punch of the turbo spooling up...It's a great experience.

 

I have adjustable coilovers so I can allow my car to squat to give me better traction, but i give up a lil cornering because the spring rate increases making the ride more softer.
