Last couple times I've gone the prices were not as good as they have been and that was before the ammo has been driven up. Not saying there won't be good deals, but online deals are decent right now.

PSA has free shipping on all ammo this entire summer.

If you want to save money, reload your own ammo.

I didnt want a 9 because I shot them before and they were, meh. Im not looking into competitive shooting, just target practice and a little fun here and there, some safety courses wouldn't hurt either.

I'm aware that the price for ammo is higher, and even the guy at the gun store suggested the 9 lol. I'm definitely going to put in some effort learning how to handle the gun one handed. Ive been talking to mid-A guys and everyone is interested in a shooting range meet.

ran into a Stanced/Stretched/Cambered E46 M3 who decided it was a good idea to do a spirited run the second he saw me approaching from behind on one of the nearby twisties... in the rain... on his 215's. (you can already tell where this story is heading)

Needless to say, it wasn't very hard to keep up. The guy had zero rain driving experienced as he started braking 9-12 ft before optimal brake entry point. In my head, I actually said the words, "... too soon junior!" Felt like such a fawkin ricer.

Is there a difference in HP/performance between single exhaust and Dual exhaust?

Yes

I've seen two Z's modded identically except one had a 2.5" TD, the other a 3" single + y-pipe. Both dyno'd back to back.

The y pipe single made more midrange torque but fell off harder up top. The TD setup had a slightly better TQ curve and upper HP curve. Funny part was both peaked at the same whp.

Make sense, thought duel was always better but never looked into it. Just makes sense for better air flow.

Cut a hoosier race tire on the fender today while racing. Do not like. However, the car ran for a bit and a photographer captured a pretty crazy pic. I'll post later.
