might fit but your VDC and speedo might be off!! I would have to do the calculations but... I'm lazy! lol.
Saw a lot of Z's out on woodward friday. No one that I knew I don't think... saw that orange Z with the big hood and guages... the one that ppl were saying drives like an ******* through OU and construction... But when I saw him he was driving quite casual

AJ - How was the drifting/autocross? I want to see those vids if you took any.
My track day was really nice. There was harly any cars, and I got over 2 hours of track time. It was a great experience. I think I did very well. I got some good videos. Only 1 incar vid. The rest I had Jess take. There was a 07 Ferrari F430 (absolutly georguous car, really nice to see somone actually drive a car like that). He was on track same time as me, steve, and eric. There were also a a few s2000, 07 corvette, and a subie running in our class.
Ill post up the vids as soon as I can, to show you can see the proof!
(You will see in the vid of what I am talking about)

There was definately barely anyone on the track, and getting a ride in an A-Class car (Paul's White S2000) was awesome. I got to see just how hard those turns can be taken.
Johnny - Did either you or Steve time yourself around the track?

No I did not time myself on the track. I was focused on driving the line, hitting the apex, entry/exit speeds in the corner. This was my first time out so I figured that was enough to worry about.

Gingerman HPDE was excellent. I learned a whole heck of a lot there. Makes me feel like a fool for how I've driven at OTD's - but what the heck. It made hitting the apex's even more sweet (knowing how it feels fighting with your car through a turn as opposed to the finesse and speedy exit of the correct way).
My instructor, Chuck, was awesome. The ride in his NSX was pretty sweet too.
I have almost 300 pictures from the event. I glanced at them yesterday, but, haven't spent any time sorting through the good and bad. I will post up some good pics as soon as I can. I also have 2 in-car vids that I'll splice my best laps out of.
I dropped my car off at the dealer yesterday for my new engine. Hopefully I'll have it back next week... ugh.. break-in .. again..
