Generally 2 unequaled skill drivers in 2 unequal cars, skill should win at the track, but in a lapping day the lessor driver may still have you in the faster car (no passing on corners)

MR2 Spyder and GT3 - YouTube

This was a few years ago, I'm in a 138hp Spyder vs. GT3.


The best is when someone jumps in your car and shows you how much faster it can be compared to how you drive it. You stop thinking about mods at that point and start listening to instruction ;)

yah, most mods are for dressup only.

I didn't pass a GTR or 370, I did pass a G35 in the Prius

AMEN....I spent most of my money underneath the car..Left the 28 year old paint, and not really needing more HP, waited on that.

The last thing I did was put the sweet rims on it.. It was everything from gas lines, body bushings, Brake lines, to Full on Coil overs, Brakes and Hotchkis Bars, SFC's , new 2011 Steering Box and pump.

I hate when someone throws Rims on a Car with baby brakes, or even just brakes and Rims... Much more is involved.. Especially older cars.

Worse, they just do HP upgrades.. Sure I went with a complete new ceramic and Stainless exhaust and K and N, and Full MSD System and Aluminum pump and radiator, BUT only after spending all the money on the important stuff.

On the 370Z, time will tell..It is the wife's Car, but being the Touring/Sport, i am REALLY happy so far.

All I worry about is how much fun and better times ''I'' have on the track in ''my'' car.
