...and then there's the waaay past mid-life crisis lil'-red-corvette dude, me, at 63...gulp/sigh...

You know some people can't believe we just bought a sports car because we wanted one, because sports car are not for anyone over 40!!! :icon14:

Just chiming in
 

Hi guys: I' m mostly just a lurker here enjoying your posts - but this last thread prompted me to chime in. I just bought my new 2014 base with sport package in January and only have 850 miles on it. I am 71 and thinking I am in the running for oldest 370 owner. Started out with MG's in the 60's and worked up through Healeys and 'vettes. Love the z. If you see a midnight blue with tinted windows in Henderson wave back. :)

HAHAHA!!!...and just when I FELT EMBOLDENED AND ENTITLED maybe to the king of the (over-the) hill!!!...hahaha...vegasdawg, i bow (wow) to youse...you da man...maybe it was me that brought you outta the closet, finally (us oldsters-"old-turds"-haveta stick together, after all), and it's good to know that even if we can't "screw around" like we used to (SIGH) we can sure as hell still fornicate around!!!

You guys make me feel like a kid at 29. Lol although I always feel like a kid.

So, opinions... Octet really wants my SC kit. I really think I just need to run a couple tests and retune for everything to be rock solid again. It would be huge PITA, but there are cheaper ways to make the same power. If I decide to sell, I would only do it if I can move to another kit with little to no additional costs. What should I do?

I would try to tune it and see if your happy. If you can get it where you like it why go thru changing it?

:iagree: Then if the tune does not work come join the Fast Intentions team, e85 FTW :driving:

Sell and get a BP kit. :D

jaybulls, hate to admit it but I'm looking at the new vette. it would be my 5th one. I need help! LOL

Thanks for the opinions guys. Right now I plan on doing my tests. I only have Sat to work with. I'll be in PHX Monday. This kit should be able to push serious power. It won't make sense for me to rip it off and buy another until I do some testing to see whats going on.

I just hate that you had such unfortunate slowdowns an setbacks. GTM had your car plenty long enough so that everything was worked out and ready to go!!!

Have you contacted them about it? You shouldn't have to be doing any testing, they should have made sure it was 100% before letting you take it.

I think SS has been more than patient and has shown great restraint with all the GTM bashing from those who have and haven't dealt with them. I'm not one to run down a company in public but just state my experience. I do think its time for a stern phone call and ask them to pay for the test to be done some place else and then decide it he wants to deal with them for the fix or move on. That said, either way I would be moving on since there is no guarantee and even though they are willing to fix it at their expense, I'm out a vehicle and inconvenienced. Time is money or in this case pleasure and I don't compromise on my pleasure. That is one thing that comes with age, I don't put up with BS!!!

just make it a point to never QUIT "kidding" yourself, no matter the age...stay young at heart and in spirit...and remember: at 40 THINGS WILL CHANGE!...adjust your diet and perhaps your appetite accordingly...beer will not so much be your "bud" anymore..SIGH...

luv, papa john

BUTT, not for long, sadly, jen/ryan...(my hats off...)

i USED to like flashing my lights (daytime), old boy, at oncoming zeds, feelin' all comradery, butt, not so much anymore...either zee-er peeps are too busy paying attention to the traffic at hand or my lights are out...

CC...i've no experience w/vettes (thou i'm one...) butt, i understand the very newest one is da bomb (exception, maybe, taillights...see camaro...)

i've always thought it was easily the prettiest designed american car...classic, steam-lined, race-ready...however, interior inferior and that's where it "gets" me...older now and mellower and never having been thru the race-by-the-seat-0'-your-pants platoon whence younger, i loved me some zed cockpit appointments and have since cushioned my expanded bottom to be embraced by high quality sheep-skin seat covers, thou i love good leather...

if'n you buy it i'd like to co-pilot w/u someday...

Anyone else looking for tires? I am going to tires places checking on prices and availability etc. Yes tires.com and all that but tire stores will price match. But if someone is looking for tires I can ask about availibility for your size, width and sidewall and get a price while I am going around. So far, I guess there is an identical Gun Metal grey 370Z going around doing the same thing. He got some epic falkens and hankooks. If you are on here. I envy you sir.

Anyone have advice on what tire to go with? I am looking into Nitto NT05s but they are 500 for a pair of 270/35/19. Since I can't go down to 18s I need to start looking into the 19'' tire world. I can get 18'' tires cheap, but I can't find anyone who can get deals on 19s.

When I had to replace a tire, tirerack was the cheapest.

I went with Discount and took them a price from Trie Rack and they matched it. Still for 19" there are not any deals that I have found.

You won't find any deals if you are looking at r compound tires. You got to pay if you want to play on sticky tires. If you want a great priced tire that will perform in most situations, I would suggest Bridgestone's Pole Position SO-4s. You should be able to get stock sizes for about $800 for the set. Slightly more if you go large on the rears. I have them and I am boosted, but I don't track so they pretty much handle what I through down. The difference is I would get more grip for about the first 5k or so with more sticky tire while they are new. :ugh2:

have the gun metal Z with carbon fiber stripes running hankook evos, 275/35/19 up front and 295/35/19 in back, dropped on H&R springs. Got a great deal thru paladin back in the day.

Hi everyone, got 2012 black 370z. from NW vegas. when do you guys do your meet up? wanting to get ideas from you guys about modifying our z

Boost it.

I know its weird but I am a firm believer in give credit when it is due. Orlando a sales rep/Manager/Fellow Z owner at Discount Tire on Azure and Tenaya. He helped me out alot today. I picked up a set of tires for a great price and he was willing and able to work with me and my insanely high standards when it comes to size, width, price and brand. When it comes to tires I feel like a 3 yr old who gets to pick what he eats for dinner. They have some ''used'' 19's there if someone is looking for burners. But honestly the tires look brand new (90% thread or more) for a good price. If you want and or need tires talk to Orlando. The number there is (702) 658-1226. My quest for 19's is over.......for now and it was one hell of a search.

We are doing cars and coffee tomorrow
