Throttle response is the biggest disappointment for me currently, maybe a lightweight flywheel will help but I'm sure much of that is inherent in the electronic throttle.
I wish I could have found a stock one, but this was modded with typhoon intakes, wheel spacers, and swift? springs.



here she is, dirty from her trek home. She went through a torrential downpour, and it began hailing. You can imagine my bunghole puckered up as though I had a warhead suppository, but the hail never got bigger than pea size, so no damage occured.
strip and gut your Z, and you will see a huge difference.. oh, and only sissys, and dudes who can't handle the curves go in a straight line...

not to mention you had to supercharge it to get it to 300whp.. and strip it and gut it to be fast... and it's still ugly as sin..
