Not saying its impossible but Dorans car was probably around 425whp/2999lbs with driver and fuel on full slicks with my buddy Steven driving the car. Going to be hard to get there with 100 less hp, 500 more lbs, and no slicks. shaving 20seconds off would be a huge undertaking. Good luck!

I love Elmo's enthusiasm and we don't get better without setting goals that are seemingly out of reach for a mere mortal. I have received one day of instruction from Steven (he has agreed to help me setup my Z suspension) and and spend time talking to him when we are at the track together. 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.

Talking

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.

No disrespect taken. I didn’t ever plan to challenge that time in NA trim, I simply don’t have the funds, time or necessary folks around to compete. I have the horsepower covered with my snail. Then baby step from there on 2:25 is my goal with oem suspension. In 6 track days I’ve shaved almost 30 seconds off my time st the track. Now I’ll be i a position to be behind the wheel slot more often

Like I said, Moto IQ is nearly finished with the VQ build! We will probably see numbers in a few weeks!

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.
