Because of your talking about traction issues with RWD being the problem then what about all those 600-1000whp supras and or mustangs?


The Z is by far the hardest RWD car I have had problems launching with. Its so hard being consistent with this car as he never bites the same way for some reason. Low end .... yes spinning will be is issue with any FWD or RWD car but on the freeway top end.....

If I could do it again.... I'd get an Evo X but I just didn't want another 4 banger
Had it... it was a lot of fun, but the cheapness of the inside of the car REALLY wears on you after a while. The Z is SOOOOO much nicer inside and just in general.... and a lot of the people who are running the 600-1000 whp set-ups many times are just doing it to see how much power they can get, or they are going in straight lines... which takes all the fun out of what the Z was actually made for.

The same goes for the Evo's... really 350 whp on an Evo is MORE than enough to find a nice track and just get through all of the twists and just in general use the car for what it was intended.

Having a TT Z is cool no doubt, but at the end of the day, it's just to say you have a TT Z that runs 10's or 11's... ok now what? Don't people get tired of just going in a straight line after a while?

IMO I don't get tired of it. The purpose of the thread is to see how fast you can go in the 1/4. I like the track b/c it's safer,cheaper,and legal to see what our cars can do. I hope we do get our car into the 11's one day, hey you never know it could be me that does it.

I thought you said you had never run the 1/4 before?
