Yea, maybe we'll be at one of the big meets somewhere.

Wight of the G is a hinderance compared to the Z.
I just run for fun anyway, there's always something faster. I just like havin a fast car that drives like stock, has AC, looks stock (really stock in my case).....and thats why I'm leaning towards trying to get a certain license plate over the winter hehehehehehe

There's a couple big VQs in this area.....tons of crazy Supra's, mustangs, vette's etc. Its nice to have the luxury side doing it though too lol.

Very nicely done! What kind of tires do you use when you got such power?

I run 295 KDW2's 19"

They hold low boost from a 2nd gear roll when its warm out. As it gets colder, or the power gets bumped I have to peddle through 2nd and Im usually fine in 3rd, except my 2 highest power levels.

Camber also plays a big role with traction...

I may take the car out today for a while. What do you want to see? No more high speed runs for a while.

40-100? Seeing the feet doing their thing and shifting would be cool too, like this
<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/PUXLTjDVgWc&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/PUXLTjDVgWc&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

Blah, took the car out for a quick spin to get some gas. Had the camera setup on the rear hatch looking in, but the brakes felt horrible and were making disgusting grinding noises.

I decided to not do any fast driving, I need rotors/pads for front Brembos!! Rotors look rough for approx 5000 miles of use...

Im not getting into foot action lol, its all about the timing for dragging more so than seeing impressive heal/toeing around a road course.
