Almost all of my Z sightings are when I'm driving the wife's SUV. I hardly ever see Z's when I'm in mine. I saw four in about a 5 minute span the other day around Custer and 121, 3 of which were ZR's.

You just described 99.9999% of the DFW Z/G owners, since they don't race.

What's up PEEPS!! Sorry, I havent been on here much in the last week or so. Yeah that's my car in the picture. Also, I got a drop like a week or two after you picked up them rims from me, Jake.


I have dyno numbers, just no track numbers. 346 rwhp 320 tq

3hree5ive0ero- Btw, where did you take that picture at?

I'm down to go to the track anytime, but would like to meet up with people there too. So, I'm not confused and ****, since I've never been.

I was at your MK's Sushi this past weekend, I think Friday. Refer to 3hree5ive0ero's post with a pic of my car. I dont have a V1 kit though, but I got Works and a Turbonetics kit.

How much are you boosting? Who installed and tuned the ST?

I took that pic in front of the Japanese Garden section of the Ft. Worth Botanical Garden.

I think you put down more horses but I should have more torque. It should be a good race between you and me. How much head start do you want? JK.


There are 3 test and tune days this week (Thurs: 6-12am; Fri: 5-12am; Sat: 5-12am). I'm going on Thursday. I assume nobody's coming as always, though.

I'm going to call 2 people out, since they both specifically said any day is fine and they'll come along:

Lol, I'll be there for the times, not to race. I've never even been before. But, I'm down to meet up and go you vs me in the trenches. I'll be happy to get sub 13s, since I need to learn how to launch. But the car will pull in the upper range, so hopefully it'll make up for a sh!tty launch.

Also, my car was tuned by Chris Macerello. My boost is like 8.5psi, give or take a few .xx. Don't remember for sure. I just know it's fast than stock lol. j/p

A friendly competition makes everybody do well, trusts me.

For 8.5psi, 346whp seems a tad bit low, but they're just dyno numbers anyway. I'll be interested in seeing your trap speed for comparison purposes. I need a ST in my power range so I can compare my timeslips to see where each specific FI kit shines.


Let's continue all drag racing related conversation in my thread, so we don't OT this one.

Well, whatever the psi is, I got an Automatic so I'll prolly lose some horsepower and I only got 380 injectors. I need 440 +. I was also on a Dyno Dynamics

That might have been me here as well, I give baseball lessons to prospective college and pro ball players in Grapevine, but I live in McKinney.

saw a DB Z with chrome wheels on the north loop in Denton yesterday afternoon. That color was seriously popping out in the bright sunshine, looked awesome. When the DB cars are clean and polished, that blue is just freakin' sweet!
