Previous car, which I'm still deciding what to do with, is a gutted, supercharged tiburon (2550 lbs wet, ~300 whp) so as you can imagine, the Z feels like quite a turd in a straight line. Throttle response is the biggest disappointment for me currently, maybe a lightweight flywheel will help but I'm sure much of that is inherent in the electronic throttle.
I wish I could have found a stock one, but this was modded with typhoon intakes, wheel spacers, and swift? springs.



here she is, dirty from her trek home. She went through a torrential downpour, and it began hailing. You can imagine my bunghole puckered up as though I had a warhead suppository, but the hail never got bigger than pea size, so no damage occured.
strip and gut your Z, and you will see a huge difference.. oh, and only sissys, and dudes who can't handle the curves go in a straight line...

not to mention you had to supercharge it to get it to 300whp.. and strip it and gut it to be fast... and it's still ugly as sin..

if you want to go fast in straight line you should have bought a muscle car!
