Push, you shaved 4 secs off your lap time just with sway bars, HFC's, and exhaust? That's pretty nice.

GZ, do you use an aggressive street pad or a race pad?

There are 19 Year Old kids in Pro Racing so being 17 and having a 400hp Mustang doesn't matter. Knowing how to drive Does. A 16 year old kid with Good amount of track days is better at driving than a 40 year old without any track days.

you hit the wrong nerves with these guys. bmw 1 or 3 series is like the 350z to the rx8s. owners get very defensive when you make any points about how their car isnt perfect.

on another note, you ran faster on your other track day because you drove better and had the mods. mods alone wont get you 5 sec, not those mods anyway

Mmmm I'll half agree with you. You could run faster without the bolt ons and sway bars, but at the same time it's pretty damn difficult to do so. The sway bars make it much easier to drive a heck of a lot faster. You can carry a ton more speed through the turns.

agree, but five seconds difference on a two minute course? no one would be buying tires.

Is there anyway we can knock this thread down? Its in the way of relevant 370Z threads. Perhaps move it to off topic or somewhere else?

The M3 is a slow sorry excuse of a "sports" car. What a porker.

You don't need gas to bench race.

Btw, what do you think a M3 and Z gets when driven hard. It's not pretty either.

Just a high speed internet connection and a desire to troll
