You do not get laid by the car you drive and if people like you more because of the car you drive, they are not worth being a friend anyways.
Thanks for your valuable insight. I like my car being different than the rest of the crowd. This means not just throwing random parts on it and hoping it looks good, but putting one together that flows well and is reasonably quick.

Clearly your thoughts are shared by most in the 350z community, as the modified Z's on this forum all look the exact same for the most part. Hats off to those who go their own way and do something different.

Wrong again. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200.

Where are you trying to go with this anyway?

Dude relax. I am not trying to go any where with this. I could care less what you put on your car. You could have 100 hampsters farting into your intake for all I care. I am simply stating your car is not unique. Good luck with your project.

How about getting back on Topic about JET and his car and what is going to be done to get him up and running again.

I am glad to hear Sharif step up to the plate on this one.

Jet, I would just let Sharif rebuild the motor for you like he offered and get it back on the road.

Your right, they all look the same (especially the ST's) to me in my rearview Props on going the different route, you shouldnt have to explain/defend yourself in every thread where some TT nuthugger questions you.

Maybe I'm lost, but I thought it was still inconclusive what was wrong with Jet's car?

Thanks Bert. I'm still planning on beating you though.

I'll be at Bradenton on the 16th... You can prove your point there!

My car is probably going under the knife soon so maybe we'll get a chance to run sometime. Good luck w/ everything!

As do you

I'd run you on my stock motor setup but I guess that's out of the question now. You ran a faster ET on DR's as I did garbage Falken fk-451's. I don't think there will be any question which car is fastest after all is said and done!

Have we met in person before? I'm not sure if I remember.

No, I don't believe we've met... I'm not into car clubs or having shops do my work. Really, the only time you'll see me with my car is at Bradenton. However, Jeremy offered me a sponsorship which I graciously accepted so hopefully I'll be a my350z hero soon, too!

Anyway, I'm not sure which route I want to go. I try to go as fast as possible for a cheap as possible. So, I'm leaning on keeping the NO2 but w/ direct port on a built short block. We figure with slicks we can get in the 10's

I'll be keeping tabs on your build though Good Luck!

Also, my 12.07 was on an ultra conservative tune pushing 356hp 417trq. Yeah, I only trapped 110 on that run

original is played. by that logic the retard putting 22s on the car would have a cooler car than me because someone has the same bodykit I do.

I like what looks the best (V2 and TE37s) just because it happens I have good taste and others like it as well makes my car less of a car then yours? pfft. I like your car don't get me wrong, but if you lined up with three cars taht looked the same, I would still like you car.

unique is **** to me. high design and good taste is more important. if you found a good setup that others aren't running, awesome! but it doesn't mean your car is better than anyone elses.... except the guy with 22s
