What did you do with your Z today III

Fire · 05-15-2012, 05:30 PM

Whoops I mixed up JAR's and Onze's posts LOL

Zach711f · 05-15-2012, 05:30 PM

No I actually posted the wrong tq last time. They kept everything about the same. Just the colder weather have me some more power on dyno today and no misfire. But the TRq was around 580 before I guess. I don't know why I thought they said a lot less

Fire · 05-15-2012, 05:32 PM

OK that makes more sense Zach711f.

gurneyeagle · 05-15-2012, 05:33 PM

More from Houston's Aeros and Autos last Saturday.............................

Hennessey Ford GT hits 212.9 mph in the standing half-mile

BTW - John Hennessey actually paid for the airport rental and had all the resgistration fees donated to local charities.

Zach711f · 05-15-2012, 05:33 PM

Oh yah and small exhaust leak was tightens up. That makes a world of difference!

Fire · 05-15-2012, 05:34 PM

Guys have a firedepartment meeting tonight. Will be back at 11pm east.

JARblue · 05-15-2012, 06:14 PM

Took the Z to Trudy's for dinner. My wife came, too

We'll stop by the office so I can get some stuff for my trip to Dallas tomorrow. Then heading down to Baker St Pub on S. Lamar for some social time

Finally took it out for a ride..The 370Z and not the Z/28.

For me, the car is great.. Compared to the 350Z, it feels great..

For what I will do with the car, street driving, it works great.. The brakes are good, and the handling and the power are fine for me..

Sure the exhaust isn't the same, but no biggie.. Sure they have an Oil temp gauge,
I don't read it. It may have read 210, but if I am only street driving and some traffic in hot weather, I could care less..

The tank is full of gasoline, so I don't worry, and over all , the 2009 Sport/Touring felt great, and looked even better..

But I am 52, so I won't be racing it on the street or modding it..

That is what I have the crazy Z/28 for...Redline and track days..

But Today I drove the 370Z ...Finally.

Only the gas Gauge is lame, but that is a pimple..Hopefully I won't have any of the problems 370z's have ,but time will tell..

Today was a good day...except for the hater tailgaters..But haters will hate...No sweat.

Very nice sir!

How you doing?

PapoZalsa · 05-15-2012, 09:00 PM

Get the car ready for the ZdayZ trip!!! T Minus +/- 6 hrs.

Bucketlist2012 · 05-15-2012, 09:30 PM

Hey Happy.. Thanks for asking. I am better...More heart tests soon..I know, does he have a bad Brain, or a bad Heart ?? Both..I do thing on a large scale...No hang nails...

I am coming out of my haze from the new medication..that is why I haven't driven for almost a month.. New medications really screw up the body...I have been anti -pill for 52 years..Now it is several a day, haha..But sadly no more Pale Ale's....That would screw me up..

But today I got the 370z out.. Loved it.. Just spirited driving, nothing fancy..

That commercial that says to enjoy your independence while you can...I sure am, when I can..

Maybe driving the 370Z again tomorrow..Then I gotta put some more miles on the Z/28, new rear gears , ect..., before I do a 4000RPM clutch dump, and three gears of close ratio sideways...That is the car I beat the heck out of..

But I cannot wait to wind the 370 up to the power Band at higher RPM, where it makes it power, but soon...

I will let you know how it goes...So far , so good...I am still here and that is the most important thing...
