Ds mode and manual mode are slower by a few ticks.
Car was bone stock by the way with about 10,000 miles on the clock  Beat all the car mag times by more than half a second!
Your Z got mistaken for a Porsche? I'd say that's a compliment! I've heard people ask if mine is a new Lexus or Mercedes  |
I thought a high temperature would be better since tires would get better traction. I hope to get similar results when I go out on my first day. I've seen low 13's from most of the car mags for the manual, but I think auto is supposed to be quicker for the 370Z. I think I saw one guy who said he got a 12.8 on a stock auto 370Z. I'm aiming for low 13's. Anything in the 12 range would be awesome. Am I setting a good goal for myself here or would it be difficult for someone with my limited experience? Gonna try both with and without launching to see how much of a difference it makes.
I did take it to be a complement, but I feel like he might have accidentally said Porsche and not actually thought it was one. I feel like Porsche sports cars all have a generally similar shape and the 370Z looks nothing like that, which is what had me confused. I think its weird how people have started noticing my car a lot more after I got my tint done. Even people who have seen it several times over the past 5 weeks are just asking me now if it's mine.
