He is a wealth of information and the number one thing about being the fastest is going beyond skill! You have to have big balls

. When I have asked about going really fast he gave me the same response that I give people that ask me about carrying a gun for self protection..."is it worth it? Because consequences can be deadly."

I also set my goals high. You never know what you can do until you give it your all. Why limit yourself by setting a lower goal. You may be able to far exceed what you think you can do. I have taken some hate for it. Oh well, I will still set my goals high.

I'm at that point in life where I'm not racing any more. But still loves to go fast. So my track driving is just before the hairy edge. About 8-10ths. I leave a little for those special moments. On the street. I never go above 7-10ths.

Agreed! It is not in my natural to do less than the best in anything I care about. I have always been an overachiever and I'm not changing now. LMAO, I think if you are reading and contributing to this thread you fall into the same mind set!!!

Yeap, I am like Rusty also though for car doings. At work, LOL, don't challenge me. I will pull one out my butt and keep doing so. I love a challenge when I get paid for it. LOL

Yeah my post meant no disrespect. We have the same goals! My goal is to have the fastest NA track prepped 370z in the states! That means running lap times without aero to beat Doran lap times, and after adding aero, I'll go after valkyrie's times!

To put this in perspective, I'm only 6 seconds off Doran's Mid-Ohio lap times with 100 less hp, an extra 350lbs, street tires instead of slicks.

I think we all like the enthusiasm to some degree. I guess by that logic then it should be a close battle for us if we should ever meet on the track in current form since I'm about 7 seconds off of the Doran cars lap time at Laguna Seca on a stock exhaust, heat cycled SUR4G's, 303 whp and no ABS.

I hope one day we do meet up at the track! I love a friendly challenge.
