I was fine when the car was supercharged and didn't have to worry about turbo lag between shifts. I just have to work on shifting faster and possibly try radials or slicks.

The problem is that my transmission is making things difficult, the 1-2 is hard to do fast without grinding. the 2-3 and 3-4 isn't too bad. The slow 1-2 shift ruins everything. In the video you can see me jump out in front of Zain in the beginning but after the 1-2 shift being slow and losing boost, everything goes downhill from there.

Todd/David-I have been good. Long time we havent spoken really. I dont do much with the car anymore, its just not fun driving it in these temps. I also need brakes bad and dont feel like spending money on it right now. I do plan on having the brakes done for summer but who knows...
When the weather gets nice we can catch up, old school Columbia meet style. All the ghey noobs can stay home. You guys know how I feel about the old school mid-a vs some of the new, especially Keith, he knows whats up lol....

I'll be there as well. Can't wait for warmer weather and track day.
After hearing about some of your troubles Bert, sometimes I'm glad I kept my Z with a stock block and low power. It's slow but *knock on wood* trouble free.

And see what it can really do..
Not sure why everyone discounts my driving... Bert is a great driver.. And im sure he might be able to hit 12's with it, the way it WAS setup... I did hit a 13.005 with a 1.9 60ft.. SO, i know the car had it in it.. Ah well.. Ty will have to hit those 12's in his z.. His car should be setup pretty close to how mine was..
Cant wait to run the 370z down the track
