And if Lito thinks, having his car SLAMMED, stretched tires, and camber'd out doesn't affect the performance/handling of his car then he's a true high school idiot, and doesn't spend much time on the track. I don't spend much time on the track either, but I'd like to see him try to run his car in the twisties, against a properly setup car for the track, with a little less power. You're only going fast in a straight line, good for you . You obviously don't know how or still a virgin on hitting the twisties if you think your hellaflush specs don't affect the handling of your car OR he's just running a super weak "Stance" specs, he thinks he's hellaflush when he isn't. Sure it might be responsive, because of the dampening/stiffness, but that doesn't mean it handles well. I think it was on my350z or on an Import magazine that showed diagrams and stuff showing that having your car at hellaflush specs has a great negative impact on your cars handling performance. Has something to do with center of gravity, and balance.

I'm no expert, but I do know enough that what Lito claims is just a bunch of high school talk, and he doesn't make much sense in his arguments either... You beat a G35, a heavier car than the 350z, with heavier fat tires, with a shitty single turbo setup while your car had smaller tires with no "thread"?? Are your tires made out of yarn? Post your video on YouTube. Or post some pics, or at least your car specs.

Plus OP, the Hellaflush guys are all about Stance, they don't really give a rats a$$ about performance. They obviously don't spend a lot of time on the track, if anything maybe drifting... so they don't need to have their "performance sports" car to be setup for the track. So they'd rather spend their money else where in making their car stance'd out... Let them be. You have your own taste in sports cars, they have their own. Like I said, each to their own.

You run funny.

says the man with an automatic. Pure driver's vehicle right there.
You should REALLY drive the car to get a feel for it. Not shifting, and just relaxing seems a bit detached from the car. Sounds weird, but if you were an enthusiast, you'd understand.



Because some people view it as "their Porsche." This is subjective like the whole appearance thing.

Id spend the extra $20 for the spacers just cause they're black...dont really care about the sponsors just as long as they are quality parts.
