I am game for whenever
I might take my exhaust off at the same party depending on when it is.
It will suck to have it stock for a while, but ohh well.
I was thinking of doing mine Thanksgiving weekend....
Mike, HAH
I only want $100.00 for mine...
AND I'll help install them...
Where the heck has Mike M been???

A new brother to the Southeastern MI 350z community
I should have done this a while back. Better late than never I suppose.
I am a fellow D-metro-area owner and it is pleasure to be in good company. Figured I’d post a few shots from the summer and say what-up.
Looking forward to future good times.

I'm gonna whooop your *** son! J/k. But seriously, most Z/G's with 500-600 rwhp has the potential for 10's. You know, traction is the biggest issue for everyone though. I think you'll need 15 or 16 inch slicks with the 6sp to get into the 10's. When you break your stock half axles, I have a spare set for you. 
A more realistic approach to get to the 10's is TH350 or TH400 auto trans. So when is your Z shipping out from GA?BTW......look how sexy this ***** is...........

No mods until the car’s paid off, emergency cash established, retirement maxed, etc.
Thanks for the compliment Zbrid,
Before the Z, I went civil and drove a G6 coupe for two years because I could afford it (GM and Chrysler family, take a guess on how they think of me now) and I wouldn’t mod a lease. Still beat the **** out of it and went through tires but hey that’s what lease cars are for.
Prior to that I blew nearly every thing I earned on a 97 Talon Tsi AWD and had her cutting high 12s at her peak. Young and dumb, at least from a financial perspective.
Being that Mitsu’s are inherently fragile, I eventually reached a breaking point and called it quits.
So until I can both feasibly and comfortably afford to make a true track Z w/ discretionary income, I’ll simply enjoy driving and honing skill on a voluptuous
full-sized sports car.
…But don’t get me wrong, I’ve done my fair share of wrench turning. The desire to go fast and/or a DSM will make a mechanic out of anyone.

Ride the line, nothing wrong with driving a stock Z, It still a lot of fun to drive.
I've had my roadster for 3 years and I'm just now doing some simple mod's to it.
I see some black Z's around here But I'm always in my truck when I see them! What city do you live in?
