Default SGP Built Z on Race Day ****PICS****

Finally got everything working and running well so I decided to take it to Texas World Speedway this weekend and I just got back home. This is the first time I have ever raced and I must say it is a real rush to blow by a Viper on the long staight away in front of the grandstands! The power of these cars when done right can literally be the fastest cars at the track. If I had more experience, I could have ran with the new Z06's easily. The coilovers from Greddy worked out real well. If you have a modded Z or not, you must do this!!!













This stuff is not for sissies. If you haven't done this then you don't know what 85-100mph feels like in a 'tight' turn and 155 on the straights. What a blast!

Thanks.

It's well worth it. Even if you don't get that fast it really hones your driving skills.

That's correct. I had just passed him in front of the grand stands and hundreds of ppl.

Photographer needs to use a slower shutter speed and pan those shots to get a better sense of motion and speed.

Boy, I really do have the $$ to turbo, but to build it right I cant throw that cash around, Im young, and though I can do it, Im trying to save up and buy a house/condo, doing that in NYC isnt too easy. Everything will come in time. Your Z is awesome by the way.
