When I drive by I'll tip my hat like this!
I have a certain smell from mine to, only mine is due to the TP's. I am also considering a oil cooler kit though because I am looking into some up coming track days.......it would be pretty embarrassing to have your car go into limp mode at a track day.

Do you have a radar detector yet???? I am also wanting one of these to as I tend to it more often then not. I just hate the F*ing cops! next option is full carbon fiber body! (Apparently it is harder to get a reading off of a carbon fiber body, so I have been told. Plus it would be total sweetness to have!)

So i decided to try my luck and see if i can get the 550-600 that some of you are getting with a mix of city and hwy and bingo i am on track of getting those numbers,simple just never go above 2k rpm and you will do just fine...my Z is my daily so filling up after 8-9 days is ideal vs every 5 days....

To avoid radar detection, line your hub caps with tin foil! Oh, wait. That was in another era.

I don't think any kind of body material such as carbon fibre can avoid laser type radars. They used to say that vette's like mine with a radiator that is sloped at an angle vice vertical could not be detected in the good ole days because the beam was deflected upwards due to the rad angle. Probably not.
