I went to Redline MT-85 at 15,000 miles last March (2011). It made a major difference in shifting smoothness -- major. I have OCD with paranoid tendencies (with mild to moderate asocial features) so I am changing it out, again with MT-85) next week or so. I have almost 20,000 miles on the oil.

Took my car out for the first time in months this past weekend and I was parked somewhere to come back to a mild hit and run. Someone hit my rear bumper and cracked the fiberglass. Such BS. Especially after all the money I put into to get fixed.
as long as you got it fixed bud...

Are you still selling the Z???

How many miles did you guys get out of your stock tires? I am just over 7k miles and the outermost tread is already down to almost the wear bars. Not sure if I want to go with Super Sports or Extreme Contact DWs.

My stockers have 10,000 on them. Very slick, no traction. For my new tires I went with PSS's but hear good things about the Conti's too. Tough choice.

There is a recent thread on here with a guy saying he got 32k on the stockers. I thought I was doing something wrong cuz I will not see anywhere near that. I am hoping to get more that 10k out of them at this point. Guess I will have to flip a coin on which ones to go with as replacements.

Thanks for the info guys.
