A year ago u were talking about getting rid of ur Z but didn't. I bet its because you couldn't find another platform that faked it as good as those paddle shifters!

Lmao @ "paddle shifter" and by the way dark whenever you head down to get your tune let me know we can ride out because i know i def need one by the way i def felt the power increase after i installed my intakes also noticed the sound difference on the highway while full throttle, i def was not expecting it.

Important phone call.

Back to you... So you are saying GTR owners get a pass? Why? Because it is a GTR? Because it is a DCT? I still don't see a clutch pedal which seems to be the only thing separating a manual from an auto. And don't give me the "GTR has two clutches" line. It is still an auto. You mash the gas. It goes. Whoopy-do. You rode with me once... in the dark...in the rain. And you were impressed. You have little room to talk **** here.

And btw, I'm not the leader. Just the organizer by default because no one else comes up with the plan. It was y'all that referred to me as the leader in the first place.

And yeah, I was talking about getting rid of the Z a year ago. Never said it still couldn't happen. Just because I write "ZdayZ 2015!" doesn't mean I won't show up in a Lotus Evora S or something else equally appealing. Doesn't mean I won't show up in a bone stock 2012 Touring gunmetal non-sport Z just like I have now that would still kick your *** even with the extra cash you threw down on mods for your "track ready" Nismo. Even VABAM can't get away from me and his **** is built right!

Boom!

Anyone else? Anyone? Anyone? jkjkjk!!!

Hey! My buddy CJ is trying to put together a meet in the VB area this weekend. He's gonna send me the details if he follows through and I'll post those up here. It is with the Acura crew I hung with for a few years but a couple of you have met him. All good people. So if anyone is looking for something to do this weekend there may well be something in the works.

Even if i do swap the diff. To each their own. But that's where i'm at. Another good reason i still havent done any mods this year.

This is all i'm going to say for now...

ZdayZ 2015!!!!
You didn't get to experience WOT in my Z.
You kept short shifting and not utilizing the RJM AFB clutch pedal.

I know, I know, you were "rusty".

Never tried.
Oh are you thinking about that time I was following you in my Saturn Ion?

Now, I'm not denying that the auto version is a little faster than the manual. I mostly blame the stock clutch pedal but the auto transmission is that good. However I do think Tigger's Z is a factory freak. It is not just the auto tran. The few autos I have really played with can't keep up with me (post mods). I'm very curious to see dyno numbers on Tigger's Z.

I'm excited to hear how the NISMO exhaust note changes after the G3s go in. Everyone but me seems to have a decent sounding exhaust note. The straw that broke the camel's back was riding behind Onelownismos car on our last cruise. Damn you non resonated FI CBE lol!!!

I'm praying for them to get to my house before the end of the week so I can get my "mod fix" in before I have to go back to work. I'm down for the cruise to get a tune, but know it won't be until at least spring before I can roll out like that because of work.

You read up on the Z1 mail in flash service? Thoughts???
