I heard there's a special going on with the Karting. $40 for three sessions maybe?

Dang guys all that crap sounds awesome.

Yeah I think so, normally it's $50 for 3 sessions. I have like 4 sessions left on my account (paid for 3, got 3 free on my birthday). If you have a helmet, and I know you do Paul, definitely bring it if you want to do that. They have some there but it'd be better to use your own if you have one. One of these days soon I'm going to break down and buy one... I'm going to need one, and a suit, if my plans work out soon :stirthepot:

You going to rent a suit to race the kart, I see they offer them? I read something about multi-packages and needing the annual race license...do you know what that's for? I did read about the helmets and will probably bring one of mine.

Hi everyone! I'm new to the forum and just bought my first Z a week ago - a 2014 Gun Metallic base manual. Just wanted to stop by and say hello since my account has finally been activated! Hopefully will see you guys around soon!

Ha, no. There's no need for a racing suit for karting, just a helmet. They have a new license system there to track drivers. I remember getting one last time I went. I think it cost $50, but you get 3 sessions' credit so it just kinda forces you to buy the package deal if you want to drive. The credits stay on your account though so if you buy 3 on Thursday and only use 1, you can use the other 2 later.

Welcome! Come join us Thursday if you have time and show off the new ride!

Hello from another GM owner!

Yea I should be able to, where's this karting place you're all talking about? I've only lived here for 10 months so I'm still learning :tup:

On Roper Mountain Road.

Bing Maps - Driving Directions, Traffic and Road Conditions

Well... a few of my friends keep telling me to go to a Zoe's, but I just haven't gotten around to it yet. That said, the people that recommended it have pretty similar food tastes to my own. I'm also down for Thai if you guys would prefer that. I probably won't have time for the kart'ing after, which sounds awesome by the way, but hopefully next time the schedule will allow. I hate this stupid mid shift nonsense.

Guess I'm also technically a GM owner as well? :rolleyes:

It's pretty easy to find, it's a big metal building, parking can be a little tricky if there's a lot of cars there as the lot is kinda small.

Boooo, y u no go karting?! Like I said, I can be at the restaurant as early as 6pm or so but I don't know that everyone else can. I just dread the traffic right in that area that time of day. I purposefully avoid that mess at all costs whenever possible :icon14: Also, unless they have a huge line of people waiting, which would be pretty unusual, you can typically get racing within the first 10 mins of walking in. Races last 10 mins or so, therefore even if we did two sessions, the most time I've ever been there has been less than an hour.

Recall Nation Baby! Probably doesn't affect you but I'm in a giving mood today.

:bowrofl::bowrofl: Nope, even though the 5th gen Camaro's have been recalled, my Holden hasn't. I do have a slightly different key setup than the Camaro, granted.

Also, GM should now use the tag line "RECALL ALL THE THINGS!!"

..... yet :bowrofl:

I worked for GM corporate in Detroit up until last November, I can't wait for my buddies to tell me how these recalls affect their bonuses next year :tup:

Dude my buddy worked for gm corporate last year I believe...he ended up wrecking a CTS-V while he was there....drove it right off a cliff into a swamp after taking a corner too fast lol

Why they give their interns corvettes and cts-v's for the weekend i dont comprehend....

I get off at 7-7:15ish then I'll have to get wherever we want to eat, and Thursday night I've got things to do once i get home as well. I just don't see the karting working into my night.

I was just in Detroit a few weeks ago for the big race :driving:

I gotcha.

I was in the Detroit airport last year sometime...:ugh2:

Ha... that's probably the nicest place in Detroit we went. That place is soooo freakin' sketchy. I wasn't ever truly scared but it was uncomfortable carrying all my expensive gear around just walking from the parking deck to the hotel a block away. One of the few times I've ever really missed not having my carry... :icon14:

Detroit is indeed very sketchy. If you stay near the Greektown casino downtown you're generally safe, but I never liked walking around without a few people walking with me.

Yeah we literally stayed right across the road from GM headquarters at the Courtyard Mariot. Greektown Casino was just to the our northwest a few blocks. Still, we went to some shady places to eat. Slow's BBQ over on Michigan Ave was awesome but while we were waiting for a table outside people kept asking us for money. Glad we had a good sized group :)

Side note: Driving the speed limit in our rental car (base model Versa), I was able to almost get airborne crossing an intersection on Michigan Ave due to how rutty it was crossing a different street o.O

Did it have a wing like this?

Of course you drove the speed limit... Ish

I was literally right beside a DPD tahoe... I was going the speed limit lol. Also, the road was already pretty rough so I was taking it easy. I just happened to be looking at the Tahoe on my left when I hit a pothole the size of the car which sent us damn near airborne!

Good times... Did we come to a consensus on dinner?

I haven't heard otherwise so I guess we're sticking with Zoe's around 7pm, then karting after (probably just one session unless we want to do more) after.

Ended up getting one from crown nissan in greenville. Less than 90 out the door. Yea hit me up when you come to the upstate. See ya soon.

GTR?? :eek:

Sounds good, although the weather looks thunder-stormy by that time(as usual) so I guess I'll be riding dirty in the Impreza...which I've never washed...because beaters are great...maybe one of these days I'll replace the transmission...but probably not...

I swear the past two weeks have been listed as 'Isolated T-Storms, 30% chance' and it has rained for maybe 10 minutes combined. :bs:

Isn't that the damn truth. I just don't drive my Z in the rain anymore if I can avoid it...we'll see what the weather brings as always

Yeah I'll probably be in my truck for that exact reason. I plan to wash my car this afternoon after work and I was going to drive it but I'd rather just wait till C&C and keep it clean. *shrugs* Oh the joys of owning a black car...

C&C is 10 days away! You'll have time to wash it again before then. I swore I'd never own a black car again for that reason though...

Oh damn! I just realized I had the weekends mixed up :facepalm: You are right. It is next weekend.

Does anyone have a shop they can recommend to get test pipes put on my Z? Zensation recommended Heads Up in Spartanburg, but they said they would outsource this job to Rick's Muffler (also in Spartanburg); however, after a call to Rick's Muffler he declined to perform the work.

I have the test pipes in hand and really don't think the car will give much trouble having <400 miles but I still would rather have a shop do it. Unless someone else has experience and will help for beer :driving:

Yes sir!

Hey guys I have a factory 370 Nismo exhaust system for sale. If any one is interested or knows some one that is shoot me a pm. $250.00 takes it. It only has about 3,000 miles on it.
