BTW, what I had really time to notice is the shortcomings of the Z. I am not saying that I have outgrown the car, not even close. But there are a couple of areas where the car lacks a lot.
Specially the throttle response, its HORRIBLE! I do not know if it is due to the heavy stock flywheel, the drive-by-wire being played wrong by the ECU to protect the engine, or the throttle plate itself being too slow...
Whatever the case, figuring that out should be my first mod.

Throttle response in my car is scary. It is instant. I think Clay will attest. I do only have a 7lb flywheel in my car though. I was hoping to have some in car from my runs, but I forgot to turn it on the only pass I got. Probably would have just shown me flailing about with a seat sliding around.

AJ Aviles (sp?) put up a vid from his SCCA regional winning ST civic of the various drills. You can actually hear the pure noise of my car in the last 10 seconds....even though I am on the other side of the course lol.

I'm not sure who took the pics.....I just copied them to here. I am having some second thoughts, and may just run the CDC Frederick event, but I don't know. The rear diff is making some noises I am not entirely comfortable with. I am apprehensive to go almost 100 miles in each direction and have something break. We'll see.
