Ever see Blue Brothers? It's cool when the pistons shoot through the hood.

Think of it this way. There is a reason why Formula One engines only last one race.

To you guys ride your trannys hard? I know I like to start of gentle and then smack it around a little bit

You would probably be a lot happier with a car with more low / mid range torque like a BMW 335i or Audi S4. The cars feel fast even at 2000rpms and you won't have to rev the engine to the moon to get moving and feel the rush.

this is true. the 370z is lacking in torque..

but it makes up for it everywhere else!!

:ugh2:drive it hard bro

Note to self: Never buy used Z from jacknismo.:rofl2:

While I totally agree with your reasoning, your facts are hinkey. 19 races. 8 allowed engines. Most teams don't use all of the engines.
Maybe the better statement is "there's a reason F1 engines cost as much as they do".
Plus, there are no pedestrians on an F1 track.

Better example would be NASCAR in the late 90s before they outlawed qualifying engines... An engine that would last only two laps. :tup:

well folks.... i may or may not blow my engine... there's only one way to find out....
live or let die

well seems like u had ur answer in ur head all along. no need to post a thread and then reject all the ideas. through you we shall see how well the Z engine is built.

Longer than my attention span :icon14:

Or the old Can Am cars that would qualify at 1500 hp but turn it down to 1000 for the race. :D

As you said you dont want to harm your engine then shift it to 6th
Or just stay on 3rd whole time and say good bye to the engine in couple month(maybe even less)
