Final details will be released very shortly. Just getting final approvals, but they will be available to all for sale. :)

Love it!!! The car is going strong btw! She wants to spin the 20's all day long!!! haha gotta use some throttle control lately... BTW guys Sharif does amazing work! he broke my car's new motor in and we consistently made 12hp more than the old motor! But I really wished that 280hp wasnt a fluke :( on the dyno dynamics... we would of had a MONSTER!!!! Good luck Sharif cant wait to see yall pull a 1:36 at road A!

:iagree: that's pretty fast for a naturally aspirated v6 but of course not impossible. :driving:

We've done 1:40 flat in a race prepped NA 350Z making just 240whp, so I think a 1:36 is a good stretch target for the 370Z. Didn't say it would be easy though. :driving:

well hell Reece Cox from MTI in Atlanta ran a 1:28 two weekends ago at the NASA finals with his naturally aspirated corvette so it is no doubt possible.

^^^ THIS.

any chance of getting the same sizes but in a 19''?

Did you guys happen to weigh either the hatch window on its own or the rear side windows?

and Sharif (in his GTR) was within .1 seconds of Reese at Little Talladega a couple months ago.

Not going to happen. We are begging for the rear 12 inch width right now. The engineers are a little concerned.

Sounds about right AWD plays a huge factor. This is about drivetrain and aspiration. What i'm trying to say is that it takes an enormous effort to get the same response out of an N/A motor that you would in a twin turbo motor. For Reese to run that fast in a naturally aspirated V8 rear wheel drive is crazy and unofficial times of 1:26 were clocked on that sunday so i believe with a good driver that has balls the size of coconuts and a well built 370z, 1:35 is most definitely possible.

about the structure of a 12'' wide wheel?

Alll wheel designed are run through computer simulations and such, and this wheel needs to be made from a specific forging. So basically it's just not as easy as adding another 1.5 inch width to an existing wheel. Once it's settled, the wheel will be structurally 100%. I am glad that Rays/Volk does some serious engineering over there. :)
