Took a buddy for a spin yesterday. He has been really anxious to go for a spin, so with winter approaching, and having run into him at the gym, we went.

turn onto the highway on ramp...
-> second gear, 25mph, a little throttle..... spin the tires
-> third gear, 45mph, a little throttle...... spin the tires
-> fourth gear, 60mph, about 1/2 throttle.... ooooh spin the tires

-> finally, turn the boost controller off (now running about 11-12psi), get it into 5th gear at about 70 and ease into the throttle.... finally traction and nice little pull up to 140!

I love driving the car, but with upper thirties to low 40's, even with no snow, the car is just too much

 

yeah, its called power lol

 

I'm telling you Aaron, I'm really happy with the Toyo Proxes 4s. I've had similar weather here and they still hook up so much better than my old Falken 451s. And even in these colder temps, but I'm also not running quite as much power as you either.

 

Cold wet weather = no good

 

Get some 305's Aaron.

 

I will be investing in some better tires next go around. My khumos are OK, but when conditions aren't near perfect they leave a bit to be desired. I will look into the proxes

 

The difference between 295s and 305s on a street tire isn't going to make much of a difference. I have a set of DR that I can swap on and at that point, it is an entirely different experience with this car. with the DR, you come to the realization that 1st and 2nd are actually usable

 

yeah its probally time to put it way man but i would love a ride in that bad boy before you put it away or in the spring. I just put storage insurance on my Z she is sleeping for the winter.

 

as soon as it snows and the salt comes out, ill put her away. thatll probly only be a few more weeks. anybody got a $500 beater for me?

 

I just had mine out this morning. I think I will have it out till tomorrow and then it goes away for the winter

 

I'll drive my car until the first snowfall... just need to be careful in below 40 degree temps...

 

Well we had the first snow that kind of stuck yesterday here in MN and of course they dumped loads of salt down i guess my car is for sure sleeping for the winter. Heres a pick of wat my car looks like in winter lol

 

I like your garage



We've got an accumulated 5-6 inches of snow so far. Supposed to be a lot more coming overnight too I guess.
