Saying you're going to hop in an identical car and beat a man of 10 years of racing experience is like saying you're going to hop into a boxing ring with a 10 year pro and KO him... like I said... you're dumb.

I don't think I'm dumb. How about very immature, especially for my age.

Can you go with that?

I'm looking at the odds. I'm really, really a good driver. I've learned that many Z owners(not all) are all talk. 10 years of track driving, may mean JUST driving.

no... dumb definitely suits your better... but you can add immature in there too if you'd like.

I've been wrong before. Your last point makes sense.

Let's leave some, others, & some others

aside for now. Tell me how I sound to YOU, & why do you cringe.......

Must be a place. Not to prove anything, just always liked road racing but never had the opportunity. Just a few spins around a curvy track.????????????? Anyone?

andre12031948 · 12-11-2011, 03:36 PM

I don't need an answer today. By spring time, I'll find a place.

I know I am a good driver, in a straight line and on a road course.

The one thing I don't really get is that the Z can run a 13.3 in pretty much any magazine and as we all know some high 12's stock.

If one has ART or LTH's, a good CBE, CAI and tune I don't know why we don't see more 12.5's or 12.7 times without using rear gears.

The only thing I can think of is that even with my ART pipes and the F.I. exhaust I can pretty easily spin in 2nd without getting on it real hard.. so I can imagine on a slick track with high temps it wouldn't work... but as said, not everyone posts their times either.

KaienZ34 · 12-11-2011, 05:34 PM

Plus who wants to kill their car just for fun.

If a 370z owner takes out their cats, adds an exhaust, & gets a tune, every young guy with a manual or auto trans. should turn in the 12's. Add 4:08 gears, plus tires & you're in mid 12's. There is a guy in Florida JNAUT

who has a shop, that would be happy, & very able/experienced to help you do that.

The only people that don't post their time are people who.......you can finish this sentence

As far as killing the car. Going through 4 gears, only 12/13 seconds, with an engine cut off, you couldn't kill it no matter how hard you try. Without TT/S/C or Nitro, it's almost impossible to damage the engine. 60 months or 60k miles warrenty. How many keep our cars longer?

"killing a car to have fun" What does that mean???? Laughing to get face wrinkles

Golfing to pull a muscle

skiing to break a leg

sex to get tired

Get real....
Don't tell anyone, but one road race puts more wear on the drivetrain, suspension, tires & brakes than drag racing ALL year.
