Yes it does make the car feel faster, but IMO the 1/4 mile times is second place to the 'fun factor' of the 4.08 gears. And yes, get some good tires!

I will list the parts and stuff I got when I create my review. I personally kept the stock VLSD but I wish I had the extra money to get a better limited slip. I should be fine though since I will be driving it mostly on the street and my car will see very little track time.

Just to add my .02 to this thread... I've been running 4.08 gears in my Z for about 6 months now and love them. Acceleration is GREATLY improved. I don't notice it much now since I've had them for a while, but I'm sure if I were to take a spin in a Z with stock rear end, I would notice.
My gas mileage dropped 2mpg... But I do have a little bit of a lead foot shifting at around 4-5k each gear. SRM works, but not as good as with the stock rear end. Downshifting while decelerating is smooth.. Anything else is a little "jerky" until you get used to it. Also during high speed runs (120-130mph+) the SRM will shut itself completely off and won't come back on until you turn the car off for a bit then turn it back on. Not sure why... Not a big deal. Top speed is hardly affected... I can still hit 140mph easily (and quickly) with room to go. I don't have big enough balls to see what the speed is at red line in 6th gear... But I know it's FAST. Traction was definitely an issue with the OEM Bridgestone RE050's... Even with 305's in the rear. Since I upgraded to the RE-11's... I hardly have any traction problems and the car pulls like a freight train. Best tires, in my opinion, hands down. That is all...

Just get the gear and install kit from Z1... You'll pay a little more vs piecing it together yourself, but at least you'll know you're getting everything you need for a successful install.

Hi,
Thanks for the part numbers here! Do you happen to know the part number for a sport manual pumpkin too? Quote:
