I think it was pretty obvious "spooled up" was a phrase for a momentarily lack of a better word. I think it was pretty self explanatory where he was getting at.

Airline pilots are generaly retards when it comes to mechanical things... go figure.

As English is his second language he is using aviation terms... jet engines spool..... like turbo's. So he was thinking spooled as in hi rpms like in jet engines.

Friggin ground based people not understanding aviation terms....

Respect

Yeah, I agree it was probably a GTO. I got munched by one a month back but got even almost immediately. When we pulled up to the next light I rolled the window down and hollerd at him " Man, that has got to be the fastest Cavalier I have ever seen". The look on his face was worth the beat.

WOW you flew Lan? I wish I would of met you before. Were did you fly out of JFK, LAX, MIA? Thanks for your offer of help with mods. i will take you up for it since im sure ill have a hundred questions when i buy my f/i kit. Just so you know i just personalized my plates to "CHORRILLOS" abbreviated of course.

And Z news from Peru, the Nissan dealer has oen that no one will buy down in LIMA since i guess streets are so messy it would mess up the car but I have been contemplaiting buying one down there LOL. It would be nice to have a Z picture in Costa Verde.

Lima is Z hell. That Z would be destroyed in no time... the taxi drivers and busses would hit you and think nothing of it.

Terrible country for a car to be in.

Now I really feel like a d!ck I was a smart a$$ to the only other Peruvian on the boards I flew out of Miami, our flight out of Miami was delayed like 2 hours, LAN ran out of those little sandwhich packages at the gate, so I didnt eat anythin gbut like 5 bags of chips they handed out-it sucked. Then on the plane the hot dinner sucked, so when I got to Peru I was starving, went to eat the pork with sweet potato sandwhich's with my family(I dont write Spanish lol sorry you know what Im talking about). It was December 16 or 17 (Friday for sure), think you coulda been the pilot? I dont mind if you have 100 Q's like I said let me know Im pretty knowledgable on everything with these cars. And BTW thats funny you mention there is 1 Z in Peru, I always wondered if anybody even imported any. I sure wouldnt drive one down there with those roads and the crazy driving I always enjoy driving down there, very fun.

Every 350Z owner is going forced induction (don't you read the posts?). If you don't hurry you’ll be the last naturally aspirated 350Z on the road. How embarrassing.

Got here late but on your first post it sounds like you were going to downshift to first gear? Am I reading that right?
