Curious do you know what the fastest NA 370Z (both stock and modified) have run at BW13?

370Z Top Ten Track Records - Road Courses

Right now, from what I know. It was the blue Robispec/Pizzafactory 370Z at Super Lap Battle 2009. Yokohama AD08 street tires and 2009 GrandAm ROLEX GT2 champion Leh Keen behind the wheel. 2:00.585. A record that will surely be broken this year now that these cars have more performance oriented aftermarket support. Or someone who shows up with R-Compounds and a mildly modified 370Z.

As for interior plans for my car. My BRIDE Zeta IIIs are currently up for sale. Would eventually like to get some Cugas or some other aftermarket reclineables since its going to stay a daily driver. Thats about it. Since it wont be seeing much track time, if any, anymore there will be no roll bar or aftermarket steering wheel, or anything fun and I am not into stereo systems or any other traditional "show car" stuff so it will remain simple.

2010 is going to be an exciting year for the 370Z on track. It will be interesting to see how far the car can be taken, in both NA and FI forms.

I bought these in the specs in my sig. they are the sames specs as the red 370 you have a pic of. The same red z in the ssr ads. These are the lightest wheels ssr has ever produced. How big of a rear lip is that???

Yeah I hope it is. I hate waiting.

I got different sizes than on the red car. I opted for a 10" front instead of the 9.5" on the red car although my front lip will be the same and the fitment will be the same. In the rear though, I went with an 11" while the red car has 10.5" and a bit different offsets and mine will have an even deeper lip than on that car. I think the one on the red Z is 108mm and the ones going on my car are 118mm.

Agreed. It is an exceptional platform. It has its shortcomings with the fuel starvation and oil temps, but its got exceptional potential in the handling and power departments.
