LoL..I'm definitely not spooled up. I'm on deployment with absolutely nothing to do but sit here and read these forums for hours. I only reply to the dumb comments. LOL

"Dumb comments.". You may not be spooled up but you just proved that you didn't get the joke. And you seem to be on the bandwagon of the whole bow down and worship the GTR because... Racecar. I don't apologize for not seeing it that way and i certainly don't apologize for not following suit. I have my opinions just as you all do. But to tell me my comments are "dumb" is simply disrespecful regardless of personal opinion. Unfortunately, i've just lost respect for you and will no longer value your opinion. I'm done with this topic. Thanks for taking a joke and destroying the humor in it.

GTR = ****

Troll away, troll. :tiphat:

Dude, why so defensive?

Voice59 08-24-2014 09:10 PM

Why do you get so butt hurt about the things people say on this forum. Only you would take "dumb comments" straight to the heart. Nobody's trying to disrespect you or bruise your ego. So relax, calm down, drink some Chai tea or something, burn some incense. I've already said I wouldn't buy the GTR even if I had the money. All this shows is that YOU can't tell when someone else is joking. It's all good though, I guess that's one less respect notch on the wall.... I hope I sleep well tonight.

Naw, it's got a treadmill inside that rolls you around. It multiplies your speed based on how fast your heart rate is. Or a 3 speed auto. Crazy shizz.

Darketch 08-24-2014 09:46 PM

Just looked it up.... 8 speed auto or a 7 speed manual. 7 speed? Now we're talking stick. The 8 speed auto specifically says paddle shifter, so that means u got a gear box on ur manual with 7 gears! I hardly ever shift into 6th! Corvette is now a super car.....and cheaper than a GTR? 2015 GTR vs 2015 stingray....who do u like and who would win???

Are we talking base models for both?

Voice59 08-24-2014 09:51 PM

I'd pick the Stingray all day. Too sexy! But the GTR would demolish it out of a dig. Probably even from a 60mph roll. Still though it'd be a sexy loss. And I don't mind that.

The new stingray is ******* gorgeous, I do have to say that. Even got good reviews from top gear UK lol.

Voice59 08-24-2014 09:53 PM

Now the Z06? That might be a different story. I think it was about 630 something hp. A tune and some light mods could probably get 590-600 to the wheels. Gross!

That's why I asked base models or not lol

I'd be up for it as C&C in Nov as long as it isn't when I'm supposed to have my parts installed.

Voice59 08-28-2014 02:43 PM

Onelownismo 08-30-2014 04:41 PM

Thinking about selling the car... talk me out of it.

I want a car I can track and not worry about wrecking and thus throwing 30k away......

There is HPDE insurance.
MotorsportReg.com HPDE Insurance Info
Lockton Motorsports HPDE Insurance
If I remember correctly you set the worth of you car so, you can set up a policy that covers you car and mods. It only covers your car and nothing else. Medical and liability are not covered. I feel there rates are reasonable. They do single event, multi-event, and seasonal policies. Not the cheapest option but it keeps you in your Z. :tup:

Honestly I wouldn't blame you, unless you have a pretty disposable income you run a big risk.

Darketch 08-30-2014 07:11 PM

So what are u looking at replacing the Z with? Do u have to get rid of it? Guess I would need more info to know why you have to get rid of the car so you can track more? Maybe I'm off the mark.

Darketch 08-30-2014 07:14 PM

Don't get me wrong, I don't want to see you go. But if you do sell it, I call dibs on ur parts! Seriously....don't sell ur car? Ur crazy!!!

:twocents:
HPDEs are pretty safe due to the way they are run. Divers are separated into groups based on skill level, you have an instructor in the car with you, classroom instruction, no passing unless you get a point by and in an approved passing section, and the big one, no racing. IMO you have a higher chance of getting into an accident driving to the HPDE event than participating in it.

Now open track days (non-HPDE events) are very dangerous. No separation of drivers by skill level, no in car instructors, you can pass at any time any where, and people tend to race each other.

The only time I have seen people wreck at a HPDE were advanced solo drivers out driving there cars. I'm still in the beginner class and I don't feel like I'm putting my car in any undo risk. The track itself does play a huge factor. Some tracks are more forgiving than others. What I mean by forgiveness is how much room you have before hitting a barrier if you go off. Some places have a lot, others very little.

Oh I'm aware, but a track weekend is already $400 plus gas, plus hotel, plus food. It gets expensive quick.

I would have to get rid of it yes. I don't have the income to be able to afford the Z, a truck, and a track car. I would like to get a newer 240sx, gut it, do the suspension/brakes, cage, seats/harnesses and then eventually do an engine swap. I would need the money from the Z though.

I wish I could say I agree but I've had two friends total their cars in hpde events in the past year. I also drove off the track last time I went to VIR, and almost lost control again in that same day. Sh*t happens. Plus I plan on doing time trials eventually.

I'm not %100 sure I want to sell her yet. I love the car so much, but I'd be devestated (both emotionally and financially) if I totalled her at a track event and insurance wouldn't cover.

Voice59 08-31-2014 12:51 PM

If you did all that to a 240 and you crashed it...wouldn't you be out of 30k anyway?

JGuebara14 08-31-2014 07:31 PM

Any cruises planned?

Darketch 08-31-2014 08:57 PM

Think Tigger has something planned for September but he is on travel. Maybe he will see this and put down some details.

Hey where did u order ur G3s from? I ordered mine from F.I. 4 weeks ago and should get them any day now (was actually expecting them much soon). Talked to Tony and he said Stillen was backed up.

JGuebara14 08-31-2014 09:11 PM

I got them from local owner that was parting out

wolfesquire 09-01-2014 07:46 AM

I am down for a cruise, I just need more than a weeks notice to make sure I am free.

Nope. I'm actually gonna use a majority of the the money towards a nicer truck then put 10k cash towards a car and building it. Besides, 240sx's are a dime a dozen and if I wrecked it there's a chance I could just buy a new shell and transfer my parts over to it.

I'm taking it day by day anymore since i've been so busy. Still tentative for the first weekend of October. I'll keep the car through then but after it will be sold so one last cruise for the Z is certainly required. This will be the Skyline Drive. I'll post up a separate thread once i map out the plans.

Voice59 09-02-2014 11:42 AM

I'm selling some G3's when I get back. I think the only thing you might need to buy are the filters.

Jsmith7861 09-02-2014 04:12 PM

Had ordered some swifts, neighbor saw them get delivered today. Pretty sure they were stolen off my porch. So ******* angry right now.
