yes i did, the truck was costing me $150 every 3 days in gas and they wouldnt let me on the track with it. I wanted something better on gas and something i could track.

Red = EVO IV stock with Ferrodo pads & OE tires; Blue = 370z stock with pads & RE11.
You are right I need an oil cooler to do track days, but my car is still cheaper than the EVO new vs new with the oil cooler.
The Z's brakes are bigger than the EVO and it is lighter, how can an EVO stop better? I understand if you had the OEM tires since they are worse than the EVO stock.
Your car doesn't handle better than a Viper (well assuming it has decent tires). The other driver was simply driving too slow. You really should be proud of yourself, not the car. The last GT-R i saw at the track only ran 1.5 sec slower than me, I know full well it wasn't the car. Have realistic expectations. |
Personally i dont care what results are posted by articals on the net. All i care about is what i feel in the car. The brakes in the Z heated up to fast and felt like a sponge. The way they felt with the Z in stock form, feels the same way my brakes do now with ~431hp. I'm pushing the brakes on the Evo alot harder with that power and after a few laps they feel the same way the Z did. But with stock power, i could push them all day and not have that issue.
