Then I would have to refer to Dan's list of commandments for the appropriate troll response.

Yeah, that's a ton of weight. You should do that next spring when we go to MIR with the GTR guys.

I would probably give it a go as well. I can take my passenger seat, rear seats, and all of the trunk stuff out and cut close to 100lbs too.

:icon17:

Shahid, just let me know, and I'll remove your seat. It's very easy to do :tup:

In fact, we could do it right there at the track. I can come down with you one of these days, and we'll remove the passenger seat and the stuff from the trunk, and I'll watch it for you.

Although would lightening the rear of the vehicle decrease traction?

I don't think it would make a difference at all with traction.

ok. Wasn't sure. Never know till you try anyway, right?

Indeed.

100 lbs off the Z would be huge. Shahid has the best of all possible conditions considering he's only like 140 lbs soaking wet, and we have tracks here with very, very low DAs.

If only he could drive MT well I'd let him jockey the 5.0. :tup:

I've got it. We drastically weight reduce shahid's car and he drives it. we put all that in your car and I drive it. You take a video.

The Z fanboys would worship that video until the end of time. :bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl:

:bowrofl:

I am definitely going back to the track next spring, or maybe even later this fall (probably not), when I have my PSSs on. I'm interested to see how it goes with the tune. Stock I was bouncing off the rev limiter in 4th gear about 150ft before the finish line. That shouldn't be a problem now. 114+ traps here I come!

We ought to do it up big once and have a MAZOC track day or even do a MAZOC dyno day.

For the MAZOC track day we should piggyback with the GTR/Mercedes crew that rents out MIR. I've talked about it before but haven't tried to organize anything yet. $100 per car and you get unlimited passes from 9-5. Usually only 40 cars show up so you get a ton of uninterrupted track time. Shooting for February or March of next year.

100 is not bad for all day like that!

I'm gonna try it out when I go in November. Temps should be really low and I should do really well. DA was close to 0 for my stock run.

My weight is actually around 160 lbs, but just imagine what I could do if I started hitting the gym :roflpuke2:

We should have a November MAZOC meet at the drag strip for me trying to beat the record. It would be on a Saturday morning anyway! :tup:

It would be like having my own race crew :icon17:

Crapitol Raceway was a disappointment today, didn't break my record. Weather was good, buttrack prep sucked and it was too crowded. Kept getting wheelspin shifting from 2nd to 3rd. Best I could do was a 13.14. I'm confident that I can break into the 12's again with better track prep and/or more runs.

Here's the timeslip for my best run.

Here's the video of my 13.14 run (1st one) and another one (13.3) courtesy of Jon (ZCarMan).

That's an awesome vid from Jon. Shahid, I have to say man, your Z is coming along fantastic, me likey a lot :tup:
:icon18: I can lift you with one hand bro :icon17::bowrofl: Your weight will definitely give you some extra umph on the track.

:icon18:

Good stuff blades. How you liking your gen3's? Slower than stock, lol. Your def in need of a tune, esp after adding the intakes.

Yeah my stock time was so good I can't even beat it with mods, lol. I'm gonna get a tune after I get HFCs so I won't have to get it re-tuned after i get them. I'm loving the intakes man, they sound amazing and gave a noticeable increase in power. I was going to make a video of them, but I've been pretty body lately and we've been getting rain like everyday.

Yeah the rain is getting way outta control in the northeast. Good to hear you're getting HFCs, they will really open up the power/sound of your exhaust :tup:

Yeah but I'm not getting them till next year...

Bert - you're just bragging about how heavy the thing is you lift with one hand...

:icon18::roflpuke2::icon17: Nope Randy, 180 is what I lift my abs ... now that's bragging :icon17: I was justifying the strong edge B1ades has on the track, did you see him whooping aZZ on that vid? :tup:

I'm finally faster :icon23:

:icon18:

:bowrofl: Glad to hear it man! :icon17:

i seriously thought the eclipse is gonna win that the +500 hp LEDs :shakes head:

Me too, I saw so scared :p

Best part is that the guys whose car that was were laughing at me when i told them my car was fast and just ran a 13.1. Guess I got the last laugh :icon17:

You got the last laugh like a boss Shahid. Is it just me or were you staring and laughing at him like this during the launch?

You are one bad mofo :tup:

I am willing to bet he was more like this: :rofl2::rofl2::rofl2:

:bowrofl: You know Ron, you are right man, that's all Shahid :roflpuke2:

Good run!

Exactly like those with a little bit of this too :icon17:

Thanks :tup:

The...The...The stig!!!!!!!!!!! ;)

:roflpuke2:

Went AutoXing in my Z this morning. Had tons of fun and the instructor said I did pretty well for it being my first time. Don't have any pics/vids of my car there since I went alone :(

:icon17:

Just ordered new rear tires for the b1adeZmobile. Continental ExtremeContact DWS All Seasons 275/35/18. For the first time since owning the Z, my front and rear tires will match. :bowrofl:

Should have them installed either next week or the week after, just in time for the next MAZOC cruise and for my next trip to the drag strip.

At the tire shop getting the tires installed. Took some pics for you guys to enjoy while I wait.

The tires:
