How many time has your Turbo 370z tried to kill you?

TopgunZ · 11-14-2015, 08:48 AM

My car never has. But my tires have! I'll say this...Don't have extreme performance summer tires on when temps dip below 50 in the morning. Mine stepped out on the interstate getting into the fast lane. I barely held on. Was almost a disaster. But that was with the bp kit and I accidently went into boost in 4th so all that torque ramped in hard.

Yup. Anything below about 55 deg and the tires become hockey pucks until you warm them up.

So true. By far the most dangerous opportunity for disaster. They won't grab to straighten you out after they get quirky either. So when they come back it's much harder to correct it. Warm tires will grab it back for you.

Get winter or all season if you drive in the cold. Or die!!!!

Wow did you go from a BP kit to a Stillen SC?
