I'll be getting the GT spec rear braces pretty soon(probably get them powder coated red though), and I've also been contemplating getting the hotchkis sways as well.
, on a serious note tho if its still under warranty take it in. If not well it could be a couple things but I'm guessing it has something to do with you're auto transmission that's causing a delay

Hey fellow Minnesotans..
Need some quick advice.. I'm getting a little worried, I have an 05 automatic enthusiast and when my Z comes to a complete stop, and I push the gas the engine takes a second to kick it and especially when im turning there is a bit of "jump" when i hit the gas in first gear between 5-10mph when I get above 15mph everything seems to be normal. but Im a little worried.. could it be spark plugs? transmission? pistons>? Im not really familiar... but any help would be nice. Also when I put it in reverse and i push the gas to reverse it is also laggy and when I floor it the rpms go up but the engine doesnt kick it until like 1-2 sec. later...
any ideas?

LOL Greg!
Tara told me I should probably get mine ready, too. All I need to do is order those rotors and pads. Still need a Z emblem for the front bumper.
Bought the Wii USB adapter for internet today. Now all I need is that cable. Also bought a new PSU which I thought was going into the boys' PC, but I took it.
Damn, there were a ton of cables coming out of it, 50% of which I didn't even have to use. WTF

LOL.... had to call the fire dept last night. The CO alarm in my house went off, so we had to roust the kids and take them outside. Everyone was sitting in the van (including the dogs) waiting for the all clear. Apparently, I have an old monitor and need to replace it. Gotta buy a few today.
