It was nice to sit in it.

sounds like fun jpkirk! :tup:

You know, last year just around this time of year, I was driving mine home for the first time, at night. My wife, son and his girlfriend went with me. About a 50 mile drive. It was dry and in the 50's as I recall. I clearly remember my sons girlfriend whispering to him, "look at the size of those tires!" I got the sports package so yea, nice big tires in the back.

Life was good then. Life is good now.

:ugh:

I ran it about 2K RPM until it was warm. An interesting note. I also tried to blip it higher and found an interesting thing about the Z. Under no load conditions it cuts fuel at 4.5K RPM. I didn't know this but it is in the manual. I read the manual front to back a year ago. Trivia I did not retain. You can hold it to the floor and it will only go to 4.5K. I think that is kinda cool.

Makes me wonder if they were initially planning some kind of launch control capability.

What did you do with your Z today VI (ON TOPIC DISCUSSION ONLY)
 
Partially installed my homelink mirror in my base, and put up a mirror mount for my v1. Cut my cords too short to quite reach my fuse box, so decided to just tuck them away for tonight and get back to it after work tomorrow *facepalm*

Edit: adjusted the mount this morning. Much more flush and stealth now. Just need to set up my concealed display and I'll be rolling

Got some new shoes! Sized up to 255/40 and 285/35. Potenza S04 Pole Position. These are about 3 decibels quieter on the freeway going 80 than the stock tires, which were bald on the inside rears at 17K. Breaks lose very predictably and is far easier to modulate during some light drifting, but that's probably a comparison of bald vs new tires.

Lol that's what happens when you never drive with VDC and have a heavy right foot when turning (in safe locations)! Yes stock tires.
