Sure, it's the Fontana Village Resort. :tup:

In the Mid-Atlantic sub forum there should be a ZDayZ 2012 thread with the dates of the event.

Awesome! Thanks for all the help. Thought all Mustang owners were pieces of sh¡t, but you and Red are all right:tup: Well then again you were former Z owners so there HAS to be at least a lil class in you:p

No problem! I definitely hope you can make it out next year, it's well worth the trip and the expense!

You know, I was a Mustang driver even before I bought the Z. ;)

Nice :tup:

b1adesofcha0s 09-17-2011 09:51 AM

Don't see any Z's there. Did they not want to hang out with your 5.0? :roflpuke2:

Pics look good though :tup:

Red__Zed 09-17-2011 10:03 AM

i showed up early...hence the pics.

It was funny though. the first two z's that showed up parked away from me...then everyone else chose to part around the stang rather than with the other z's

It's like when Peter Pan went back to Neverland and everyone left Rufio to go to his side. :tup:

BTW, seeing your clean Brembo wheels is driving me to go out and wash mine. :bowrofl:

Don't act like you've never seen Hook! Great movie.

I think gold F14s would work just fine. The Brembos are black with red lettering, so they will look fine, especially since your car is black.

If you get the F14s how soon do you think you'll get them?

i think the brembos are grey on orange:ugh2:


I'll probably get them when the stock tires wear out. go to 9.5s all around. trying to figure out if I can fit 18s

When is that gonna be? I'll be looking for wheels next year and I'm thinking Sport Rays or Nismo's.

I know 18s are better performance wise but it think they will look minuscule on that thing!

yeah, i'm kinda nervous about that. my 18s looked pretty small on my z even...and even the 19s look small on this thing...

I won't get rid of them... maybe get the stockers PC'd gold...

but I was thinking the anodized red centers with black lips...
http://www.the370z.com/attachment.ph...1&d=1316277097

only red...
tho this purp/black would look killer for the 300zx

Red__Zed 09-17-2011 11:34 AM

yeah, i'm not really a big fan of that styling personally, but eh...

I suggest you rotate front-to-rear every 5,000 miles for optimium life. Because of the rear axle on the Mustang the outside edge of the tire tends to wear a bit more especially if you drive like we do. The fronts wear evenly. If you rotate them it should be good for 12-15,000 miles. Otherwise you're going to get maybe 8k out of the rears.

If you do some searching 18"s look fine on the car as long as you're lowered with a beefy sidewall. Obviously function over form in that case.

If you want to do suspension stuff to the car you want to talk to Sam Strano... he's a multiple time SCCA national champ and is destroying AutoX with his 5.0. He runs 315s on 18x10 (or 18x10.5... can't remember) all around. :eek:

Me... I'm just going to replace the Pirellis with 275 Michelin Pilot Super Sports all around... unless I get a new set of wheels.

Yeah, I read through Sam's thread. Lots of info in there. Trying to figure out if I'm going to be be autoXing enough/good enough at it to make it worth going with 18s.

Dan, I've been a slacker and had not noticed your thread on the new 5.0. Congrats man! I know you've been working on something between the 5.0 or a Bimmer. Its sharp! Guess we won't be seeing you at Z Nats though eh? Either way, thats one nice looking Stang!

I was actually planning on Znats, but have to be in DC that weekend:shakes head:


I will still be out for Zdayz, etc, though.

Thanks! Get your SL's yet?

Sorry I won't be able to see you and the new Stang when you're up in D.C. Glad to hear we'll see you next year for ZDayZ. I'll try and remember to bring your fold up chair!

The SLs are still enroute. I figure mid-October arrival and then shipped here by end of the month.

Cool. Stoked to see pics of that setup. Make sure to get some vids of the track day too:tup:


I'll also be around for the meet on the 8th I think. I'll be in town for AUSA.

I personally think those wheels look amazing. Love the colors, though your car would have to have a certain look to pull it off right. Still, I think they are beautiful.
