You trading in or selling yours..?

Selling it. But I'm a few months from doing all this. My wife is in school and is make me wait on her graduation! How much you give me for the Z?

[HKYStormFront]

between the two, i'd go with the ZL1. but really, i'd get a boss first. the new shelby is badass but just seems like too much... everything for the chassis.

Yeah but it is not the factory leather. There are pics of it in my profile. I was thinking 27k

I don't think you can go wrong with either the Zl-1 or Cobra for the price. But it might be worth waiting for the new corvette.

I agree it is supposed to be bad!!!! If only I could have them all!!

[864Zbeast]

How many miles on the z? And there is a green boss at leader ford in Seneca, it's sick.

[HKYStormFront]

ok thanks matt, i'll show it to my friend and see if he's interested. what's the mileage? base+sport correct?

[Matthew]

34,500 miles,it's a base+sport, with custom leather. I have also put in custom stereo keen wood 8120 with nav. And lot of other stuff.

Shout out to Rooskey. Just met him up at CIN Motorsports in Charlotte and was admiring his Nismo I'm going to do my best to come down there for the drive on 9/30. I just had Swift springs, spacers and camber kits installed so I'll post pics soon after she's been washed.

Good to meet you today Gatorman.. Nice Z you have there too.

Well I just got back from CIN. Got there at 9am and finally got to leave at 11pm. What a boring a$$ day. Anyway I got my brake and clutch lines installed and everything went real smooth and they did an awesome job keeping the car clean and free of fluid spills. I also had the car tuned today aswell. This had to be the craziest tune I have ever seen done. My car was on the dyno from 2pm till 10pm (yes for eight hours). The owner of CIN (Bobby) tuned the car himself. Bobby pulled my car roughly 20 times. I was thinking to myself that he was gonna blow the thing up and I really didnt like the fact either. But since he is a professional tuner and is insured I let him have at it. He told me that he was going to tune my car exactly how he does his track cars. This being said he never pulled the car past 6,500rpms. He tuned the car for a perfect air/fuel ratio and gave the car just the right amount of timing so that the computer wouldnt kick any out (with uprev software you can throw all the timing you want at the car but the computer will not except it). After the dyno we took the software out on the road with us to check the air/fuel and timing all the way up to redline. The timing stayed consistant and the air/fuel ratio stayed at a steady 12.6-12.9 for the entire rpm range. At the end of the day I am really pleased with the results. The drivability is better than when the car was new, it blows the tires off in second gear (not good for mountian run), and it pulls so smoothly now all the way to redline..

Final results: 12.6-12.9 air/fuel ration from 2,5k-7,5k rpms, 312Hp at 6,5K rpms, but the kicker is the car made 272 ft.lbs. of torque at +/-5,500 rpms.

And for those that are interested the fuel injectors were at 76-82% of there flowing compacity at wide open throttle (I was told by several in the shop that, that was high).

Just thought I'd share.. Seez ya on the mountain cruise soon!

Those are great torque numbers. Congrats! I'm going to definitely have to go by CIN next time in Charlotte. Now you just need to ride down to Charleston with that red nismo!

I wish I could soon! About the only time I get to vacation anymore is in the winter time (sucks). I really wished he would of pulled it all the way to 7,500 just to see what it had. At one time we had the HP up to 318 at 6,500 but he didnt like the torque or HP curve the car was making. Does the Air/Fuel ratio sound about right to you? He said that he liked to leave them just a little on the rich side.

yeah, 12.9 - 13.1 is ideal. So yours are about right. Richer is safer.
