I feel as though you're asking me to photoshop him in another compromising position.
Well, I'm sure the same thing could be said about most car clubs. There are those that drive like they're on a race-track when clearly they are not. I'm not talking about the occasional hard driving. Anyone who knows ZROC I'm sure can picture a certain blue 370Z.
Besides, I know you were going the posted speed limit when the G let go.

Yeah I think people look alot better driving responsibly especially when there is a group which could magnify the dangers of driving stupid. I want a group that wants to drive atleast somewhat decent. I don't mean the posted speedlimit by any means, just not trying to "fast and the furious" all the way up there. Looks much cooler when they're in a line. Gives people a little better impression of the import scene..not just seeing us as a group of ignorant careless drivers.

ZROC has scaled back the insanity to a great degree - you won't see us doing 150 MPH on public roads. You will see us flying through the twisties, but never over the yellow line. And you will also see us responsible enough to go to the track when we ant to let it all hang out - like on July 8 at MidOhio. $200 buys a lot of peace of mind.
And I was only kidding about Tim and Brett - they each have 600 HP plus in their TT's but they keep it pretty civil. Bad Azz refers mostly to the beauty of their cars - you could eat off their engine bays.
And we let just let Mad Dog and his blue 370 disappear - no sense keeping up with insanity although Clay had no problem on the last 555 run, lol.

That's cool. I can appreciate a clean car with alot of power. I'm still mostly stock, but it's hard to pay cash for a car then have the money to dump in the drivetrain. That's gonna be this winters project. I'm just trying to make it look decent for this summer.

My next step for the exterior of the car is wheels. I got a good deal on the ones I have, but I truly want 19's. As for my winter project, I'm probably going to do a turbo set up. Just something with low boost for a lil something extra, yet still keep the z reliable on the street because as of right now it's my dd.

I'd love to do FI someday but its a lot more money than you initially think. I've been trying to "do things right the first time". For me I think that starts with finding a short block to build on my own time. My Z is not a daily and I'd recommend being very cautious about turboing a daily driver. If you have the money though, why not?

Agreed. I always say, "It's not what you have, but do you enjoy what you have". Having said that, I think I've sold my boat today, hmmm...what will be my winter project....any suggestions? No Ryan - no photoshop pictures. I know you have some of me for these occaisions....

Yeah you're right. Money is super tight right now so I probably won't be doing FI any time soon. That's one of the reasons I'm waiting, to get a work car and to make sure it's what I wanna do. Thanks for the input. I just know that wheels are one of my main issues. I sorta like the ones I have, but I think 19's just looked alot better on the z.

I've heard things get going around 10ish?
Pictures??? I have 19s and honestly I dont think there is a great difference in the looks besides maybe the profile of the tire. Lowering springs and a set of wheels in decent offset is all you need! That's not TOO much $

What is a good tire for stretching on a 10.5" rim? The tires I have are 275-40-18's and look too big. I want something with more stretch but I'm just that great for figuring out tire sizes. I have a 8.5 I think in the front.
