Thanks kybluez, I really do want to get to know the other Z enthusiasts around here. We all have something in common and actually hanging out or at least talking would be a cool thing to do. Actually, that reminds me. I think the Street Sports Parkette meet is starting this Thursday if weather permits. I'll let you guys know if you want to show up. I personally don't know the details as of yet, but I'll get a hold of 350G or Z Cruzn to find out.

As for Gary's TT Redline, I don't think I can say it any better than here. This is his thread. Really sad story. https://my350z.com/forum/2003-2009-nissan-350z/111828-poor-z-needs-a-plastic-surgeon.html

Guys, add a Lemans Sunset Coupe to the list. I saw it today on Man 'O War turning onto Richmond. I was already on Richmond & I wanted to slow down to wave at him/her, but I was going to Krogers.

I talk with him about once every 1-2 weeks. His insurance picked it up the tab so he could go ahead and get his car fixed. Last I heard, he's getting it rebuilt at a body shop. I think he had a little extra money, so he went ahead and got a body kit he wanted installed on it too.

Did you see the damage? Un-freaking-believable. I think I would've cried.

Thanks man.....I'm kinda **** about the Z being clean. Been known to hit the car wash a 2am because it just got rained on. Closing on my house today so my baby will finally have a garage to sleep in.

Hey faris13, I saw you! At about 1:09 PM today, you heading outbound Nicholasville Road (away from UK) near Denny's. I was heading towards UK in my DB Z and my friend was asking me about Z Cruzn's Silverstone. Then he pointed out your car and said "is that it?" I glanced over and the first thing I noticed was your wheels and I said "holy ****, I know that guy." It was too late to wave or give you a signal, but I'm pretty sure it was you. Nice wheels!

Haha sorry! How do you like the 3.53 Final Drive? Z Cruzn's a friend of mine and he let me experience his 3.9 Final Drive as a passenger. It really makes a difference doesn't it?

Plenum is going to be cheaper and easier to install. But the final drive I think will have a better overall effect. The general consensus is about .1-.2 seconds faster on the 1/4 and a trap speed 1-2 mph higher.

If you plan on upgrading the LSD as well, it would be an oppurtune time to do it.

OK, I went to the track tonight. WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!! The elevation here is 3,000ft and my previous best was 14.86 @ 95.3. Tonight my best run was 14.33 @ 98.7. Thats a half a second drop and over 3mph gain. Everyone needs to do this if they have a 5AT.

Thanks a lot. After my first few runs I was getting 14.5-14.6 and a guy in a Mustang GT asked me what I was running. The look on his face was priceless when I told him.( he was running high 14s) So then we raced and he got OWNED!
