Hye guys. Just bought my 2nd Z a few weeks ago. 2008 Touring. The previous owner installed hotchkins stage 1 kit, JWT pop chargers and a stillen catback. Anyway iv really been in love with the car until I went to the track last night....Made me miss my STI haha

Conditions weren't too great- around 80 degrees and humid

Atco Raceway


R/T-.747
60'-2.12
330-5.957
1/8-9.054
MPH-80.22
1000-11.701
1/4-13.933
MPH-102.51

Let me know if its worth it to go catless and get the uprev tune at R/T tuning or just wait until I can afford the twins

 

welcome. congrats on your 2nd Z.

 

Congratulations. Like the wheels and brakes.

 

Welcome and congratulations. Car looks great. More info on your previous Z?

 

Welcome to the forum, what sort of Z did you have before this?

Lol, the Z isn't quite the same as an STI. Maybe you just need to make a few tweeks to the Z and if those are the stock Bridgestone Potenza's, get some better tyres. Good tyres makes a huge different.

 

The tires are Eagle F1's and seemed to hookup pretty good for summer tires. I'm just disappointed with the trap speed more than anything. I was thinking the car was more of a 105-107 trapping car especially at a track like ATCO. hopefully going catless and getting a tune can get me closer to that trap.

 

Oh, ok, Eagle F1's are fine. Are they the aggressive directional older model, or the newer Asymmetric style? The Asymmetric ones have a stiffer sidewall.

Trap speed isn't everything, unless you're going to take it to the drags a fair bit, then can understand. Good luck with whichever way you go.

 

welcome and congrats, looks like a grand touring to me from the rims and brakes
