Here's a funny story for you guys. Saturday night, I was down on uni meeting up with some of my buddies. While I was parked and talking to the GF in the Foodsmart lot (I had my passenger window was slighty cracked open), some random kid in a white Civic pulled up beside me and asked:
kid: "hey, is that thing stock?"
me: I put my GF on hold, rolled down my window and answered, "yeah, pretty much."
kid: "so is that thing a twin-turbo?"
me: I chuckled and responded "no, these things never came in a turbo model"
kid: "would you race me?"
me: I chuckled again and said "no, you go ahead."
kid: "I never raced a Z before, I just wanted to know how fast they were."
me: "there's a 'twin-turbo' Z parking over there, see if he wants to race you."
He proceeded in that direction, and all I heard was, "get outta here kid."

I'm retarted...."tips"
I bought an 03 Touring 6MT, have added JWT intake and Motordyne 5/16 spacer. My most recent experience was at the track, ran very slow (14.6)....had very bad wheel hop issues.

I am going to pick up a UTEC for tunning, I feel my recent mods may have hurt me. My Bassani exhaust is on its way, so I will install that and then dyno tune with UTEC @ RS Motors.

Apparently, someone on MNSC seems to know more about the 350z than some of us ever dreamed existed:

Ah, it felt good to shoot the shotgun today. Fired 10 rounds of buckshot and 5 rounds of rifled slugs. Got a nice mark on my shoulder, but it's not a big deal. I can still type!
