Nissan 370Z Forum  

VDC off I almost crashed!!

It's more fun to drive a slow car fast, then to drive a fast car slow.

yeah but driving a fast car fast makes you question why you go through the effort of keeping a woman in your life

As much fun as it is to drive my car fast, I don't mind driving it slow either because I know at anytime, it can be fast.

I've driven a few 800 hp plus monsters on the track. I could only use about half of what they offered. What's wild is when you see a spec Miata or a Elise not backing off for a corner and diving under a faster car that's on the brakes.

Agreed, jdtodd an I did not run with you guys that morning at ZDAYZ because it was raining. We went out later and I was still wet Josh was like you lead you are on the r888 and I am on r71. We had fun and I resisted the urge to go full throttle until I had heat in my my tires and I wouldn't break traction. So even with hot tires 70% was it at best. Plenty fast enough for the both of us with full suspension and aero.

^^^This, nothing worst than coming into slow turns either just passing or being held up and having a fast miata on your a$$. They will run you over because they don't lift, pretty much ever, lol!

OK what do you guys suggest I go then, what high end bridgestone? Should I stick with my Pilot Super Sports and just go as wide as possible?

Mate - if you are interested, I will be at The Bend MotorSport Park with my race car for Round 4 of the SA State Championships on Oct 20 and 21, and should have a bit of time to jaw-bone your issues if you take the hour to sneak down the freeway to Tailum Bend.

Look for the bald old guy in Sports Cars #50. We'll be in one of the pit-lane garages, don't know which one yet.

Ok, with sebs latest tune I do not spin out anymore. Or it could also be the fact they fixed my EBC, it only goes to 8.5psi now, not 14 like before.
