and dont worry, i need a wash too. i did a full detail (took me 2 days to polish the damn thing), but after a week the ash from the exhaust kills the back end!

Good time to do the GTM SC. GTM just released the stage 2 SC kit. Compared to the stage 1 kit, it costs about $500 more but makes I think at least 50 more HP than the stage 1. Let me know through PM when you want to meet up. Be warned that you may want to go FI immediately once you've had a taste.

And even though our white cars rear ends look like sh!t after a few drives, it is still easier to deal with than black. My other car is black and it used to take me well over 4 hours to wash and detail the exterior and then 2 days later it looked like crap again.

ugh..tempting. one of these days. plan is to pay off the Z (almost there wooo) then wait til warranty is up before i fool around with F.I. i'll have to pick your brain if you're still around then

That was probably me... I had a great time.

Car is brand new, (had between 1600, 2000 miles on it) so I was trying to take it a little easy, but Laguna Seca is just so much fun and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to take it on the track I know best.

Without an oil cooler, the oil temp was still managable, but I'm definitely going to put sythetic Mobil 1 in it at every oil change...

Man running a track day before break in is up?! Youre gutsy, LOL. Did you wear your pads and tires out?

Saw a red 370 in Mill Valley on Hwy 1 just before noon yesterday.

My wife reported that she saw a Z yesterday. I asked if it was a 350 or 370 and she said "blue".

onzedge · 07-15-2011, 03:49 PM

Mt Tam -- that is an excellent picture.

Just saw a female driver in a PW 370Z at the Lundy & Hostetter intersection 2 hours ago.

I saw a PW in San Rafael heading south around 1-1:30 today. I tried to get your attention, but all that honking & waving might not have .
