Patrick is running a 255/40/17 so it would be a bit off. Either way I think he was just over excited about the speed. 
I run a 275/40/18 rear tire so I believe my speeds to be quite true. I remember seeing 105mph and I know I pushed harder a couple of times after, but didn't check the speed. So yes it is possible I approached 110mph on that straight, but probably not any faster than that. I also don't push as hard and brake as late as you guys because I need to upgrade brake pads and tires. I would imagine it's quite possible Chris was at 120mph.

Stu, I bet your toe is off on the rears...after 2000 miles....your tires should not have lost that much rubber.
I would get a Pro-rated set like Chris P said.
Lets get a meet together and hang out...drink some beers & food !

I'd be down for a meet up. I'm gone 16th-21st but probably here most of the rest of the time until January 3rd or 4th, except maybe a couple days after Xmas.

I can see how you can get Pat & Scott mixed up...Scott is Old....Pat is young...Scott is fast....Pat is slow....Lol All you white people look the same to us Asians as well.
Hmm, I always thought toe only affected if they wear evenly. I had the fronts replaced last summer and the inside was gone due to bad toe. Got new tires, and an alignment then. I'll see if I can pull up the results so I know what is/isn't off. The part that worries me is that it's wearing fast, but evenly.

Maybe even a small meet at my place with you guys would be cool.....but we will see.
I'm down for drinks/food.
We should do a go-kart meet sometime.. I went to one of those in Chicago and it was a blast. We also did strip club meets up there, too, but I don't know how many of you guys c/would even go, lol.
That's what it looked like in the video, but I didn't dare look down at the speedo on the track.
The analog speedo is always off and even more so once you start going up the triple digits so probably not that fast realistically.
Great looking dog, Pat! How big are its *****, though? 
Alignments go out of spec pretty easily, especially if you have the eccentric toe bolts in the rear. Check to see if you have feathering.

I keel you Mike!!!
I have been the slowest Z so far, but have upgraded some things on my car and improved driving techniques and I've gotten faster with each event. Just wait until I get the new tires on for next season. Then that whale tail will be bringing up the rear of the Z pack! Bahahaha
