Blk, you should have been running low 13s at least. You gotta work on your shifting and launches better! :P

Instead of "looking" cool at the show, you could have raced your NISMO instead at yesterday's autocross. Not my best day since I'm still breaking in some new race tires but still managed to spank a C6, Cobra, a couple of EVOs & STIs.

A couple of guys were asking me where you've been. There was one guy I talked to who was asking me about my Z. He informed me that he wants to get a GT-R and has his name on the waiting list on three different dealerships. He must have some bucks since he wants to keep his C6 also.

He asked me what I thought about driving the GT-R on autocross. I told him it's overkill. I'm sure it'll be fine but you want to unleash all that power on a road course instead.

BTW, that track (road course) in San Marcos is almost ready. I may take a drive up there sometime and see if they'll let me drive before I splurge myself on a membership.
