This is just IMO anyway, no need to attack my intelligence. I'm no newb in general, even tho I do t know the Z that well yet.

The best method for dealing with FP is to ignore everything he says.

One may not agree with him on the MT vs AT "debate" but ignoring his many helpful comments wouldn't be the best tactic to employ. YMMV

that's a losing battle for you unless you have boost.

but look up MAZOC. they have their own section on this forum. i'm a member even though im a little far away lol they rotate meets between one in VA and another in MD.

MAZOC - Nissan 370Z Forum

good group. some have moved on from the Z into other vehicles but still all participate.

aside from some of the favorable FL track conditions and 1/4 ET's popping up lately I was at #5 (now#8) with full weight, full tank, stock suspension, stock alignment, etc..

I like challenges lol I trust the car and spent a lot of time in it so confidence just comes.

plus i'm a cocky asshole from childhood so it happens lol

but seriously though I've been thinking of grabbing drag radials, dropping weight, low fuel, and more favorable conditions and jump back up to the top 5 on that list.
