Z-> 158

Mustang is far left, Z is second from right.

So....no.

Steve, it's raining here/ I'm lazy. How involved is the muffler swap?

Not that bad. Passenger side muffler came off without issue. The driver's side is a little bit more of a PITA. I had to unbolt the hanger from the car and remove it with the stock muffler, attach it to the new muffler, then get everything lined up and bolt it back in.

Might be different for you depending on what mufflers you go with.

As soon as your payment for it goes through

If something were to happen to my Z, I'd probably get a 5.0 to replace it.

Otherwise, I'm keeping the Z till I get a GT-R.

That was a fun ride! Now it's Dan's turn to give me one. Maybe we can take the Subie for a spin afterwards

Interesting Vids to watch, since Red_Zed went to such lengths to prove me wrong. Seems like it does one thing better... Going in a straight line. LOL

They did the stopping test after they heated up the Z's brakes to cause fade.

don't think so. that's actually (from what I've seen) the best stopping time they've recorded amongst the 4 Z's they've tested.

Their test procedure does the 70-0 times before anything else, the the SQM, so they don't induce fade.

Do the auto 5.0's come with paddle shifters?
