Two 370Z's Playing at Summit Point

ResIpsa · 04-27-2015, 09:08 AM

Forum member TakJak is driving the white Z with Crux riding shotgun. I am in a 2009 with 108K miles on it. Apart from K&N drop in filters the motor is bone stock.

Safety is important to me so I have gutted the interior and have a 6 point roll bar and race seats. I run a HANS device and use a custom cool shirt system covered by a SFI rated TraqGear shirt (this shirt is not only fire resistant it is so comfortable my wife wears it to sleep).

For my exhaust I simply removed the muffler and attached open pipes. I have a custom front splitter and a massive custom rear wing that plants me in the corner but hurts my top speed on the straights.

I am running well worn 275/35/18 Nitto NT01's on all four corners. My brakes are CarboTech XP-12 up front and Porterfield R-4's in back (why? they have been sitting in my garage for years) with 2.5 inch brake ducts, steel lines, and Castrol SRF.

Looks like a blast and thanks for sharing...

Seems to me that you were nailing the corners like a pro.

Looks like a BLAST MAN, I really hope to get to an event this summer with my sedan. Nice to see she's at 108 and still running stong

Negative....for now. I'll be happy if it can knock off some 1:20 laps by the later sessions. Lots of little things to work through. Should get down in the 17's by late fall on fresh tires.

Any safe car is allowed on track. As a novice you will be paired with an instructor.

1:20 is absolutely flying. I think my best lap ever was in the high 1:26 range with my averages around 1:28.

First time ever out in the car with no aero, REALLY heavy and corded NT01's it ran 1:23-1:24''s in traffic. It's about 250lbs less, full aero and A hoosiers now
