ok ok I admit I did go beyond 4k a few times within those 1197 miles, but never anything close to red line. I don't even KNOW what my Z feels like in its full power band.

yah one would need patience and a pretty good aim to do PDR. took me a good year before i could push a panel using my tool to about 0.5mm area accuracy consistently.

What's your rev light set at now, Ken? I have it set for 4k rpm right now. Not a lot of fun

LOL. I was tempted SO bad to do it a few times... just felt like DRIVING my car. But I held back. Tonight, my car is losing its virginity.

Yah go for the FIntensions for sure!!!
Thanks Kenchan. Yes I have been, and still SO MUCH I want to do. I'll post pictures of the b-pillars when they're done in that CF wrap. And for sure I'll get the FI CBE. A friend of mine has it here in Vegas. Sounds awesome. I wonder what difference the various sizes of resonators makes though...

My dealer told me I didnt have to break the engine in. I did it anyway but def revved it higher than 4k during the period. Nowadays I bounce off the limiter more than id like to admit. Cant wait for a tune so I can get my redline extended. Have fun G2Z, enjoy!!
