Blowing the tires off with 270 fwtq when you floor a car in 2nd gear isn't what I would call a good thing. I am curious if anyone knows the stock spring-rates on the Z? It has to be a suspension...

It all depends. The tq converter is a hydraulic coupling. It dampens shock transmitted to the tires. If you were to modify the engine output so that it could over-power the tires with raw torque,...

It would increase the size of the contact patch, but with radials you will get "cupping" if you lower it much at all. Cold weather will drop the psi by 3-6 anyway (unless you have nitrogen, which I...

The Z just seemed very prone to low traction. It was 90* the night my friend and I broke his loose hitting it in 2nd. I just think it must have minimal weight transfer. I have long wondered how the...

220rwtq. It's a beast. LOOKOUT! Lol

It's the cold weather and the summer tires.
