From what I've read, road courses are brutal on your tires and brakes...not to mention the cost of racing. I'm sure it's much more fun and hopefully I'll have the opportunity to try it one day, but...

For whatever reason, I have to shift mine manually around 5300 rpms otherwise it will hit the rev limiter. The shifts aren't as firm as I would like, maybe it's something programming would take care...

You're probably right, but since I've always been a drag strip junkie, high hp is my focus. However, I wouldn't turn down the opportunity to take the Z around a road course, I don't know how much fun...

At what point do you say enough is enough? Where does it stop? I have always said that when I'm afraid of my car...like the first time I tried running my SS at the track on street tires after being...

It's amazing how truly spoiled we are with these cars. I have been out of the country for the past couple weeks driving a car with no more than 120 hp at best, but here I am questioning the...

Mine felt quicker after the install, too, but the track numbers showed different. I've seen dyno numbers showing a 30 rwhp gain, but my track numbers didn't agree.

I have tried and track tested an aftermarket CAI with no gains whatsoever. Given several times to the track in comparable weather conditions to the stock setup, no gains have been seen. I will wait...

You have exactly the kind of power I would luv to have! If you have to stop to consider the consequences before mashing the go pedal, you know you have just enough power. :confused0068::hail:

I'm not saying it can't be done, it just takes seat time. Very seldom do I ever see one at the track so obviously folks just aren't racing them.

I drove my 99 SS to 11.7s on street tires with...

I was referring to the drag strip. The 500s are making so much power that I've seen a few literally get out of hand after making a hard shift into 2nd. That's the kind of power I'm looking for. It...

Like what was said already, the weight is what's really keeping this car from being a much more fun ride. No doubt this would be an easy 11.7 car with just 300 lbs less weight to carry.

I wish I...

I think I will pattern my Z around yours..minus skinnies. 12.0s is very boring. Thankfully my other street car runs 10.9s.
