Is this something new for the 2012+ model car? is vlsd different than elsd? Once VDC is turned off, I have successfully did 360 at autox venue. I'm not sure why it would apply brakes if it's turned off.

Nice sig. I see Mark Labbancz's Black 192 Z (previous)

It's to minimize the inner wheel spin by applying brakes. All 370s have it

It was evident this had all come out the coolant overflow tube. Perhaps I'll top off with some Redline water wetter. Maybe it had been overfilled a little from the factory?

I've seen a few guys running 275/35/19 or 295/30/19 all the way around on the stock sport rims but has anyone tried a 285/35/19? Bfgoodrich is showing a 285/35/19 now on tire rack and with 18's being so hard to find at a decent cost I was debating running some torn up old sport wheels instead. Just curious how these would fit under the front?

370z officially moved to BS next season. Nismo moved to AS

Funny thing is, after looking at where the 370z's would have slotted into the BS results from nationals, the 370z would have actually had an even better showing. Unfortunately, this probably just means that in 2016 the 370z will be in AS and the Nismo in SS.

An ASP 370z should be faster than my car....which means it is not terrible outclassed in ASP.

...except at Pro's. Don't bother.

And this is the part that sucks as the Pro format is probably the most fun out of the 3 different formats.

Edited some auto-x video that I've been sitting on since spring

Anyone see these new AST 4100's for the 370z ? Any idea how they stack up again the MCS 1 ways for autox?

What's the widest front anyone's raced on? I'm looking to run a 285 35 19 on a stock rim, anybody know if it'll work?

I run a 315/30-18 on a 18x10 wheel up front for my ASP car. I know guys were running 295/40-19 hoosiers up front in CS before the change to street tires occurred.

Sissies....get your cutting wheels out and make a proper wheel fit up front (and back).

18x11 and 315:
