Yeah, snow isn't really a big deal 'til December-January-February and part of March.

BTW Dan and I were telling him he needs to remove the passenger seat for his next run. That's a good 70 lbs there. We also wanted to remove the hatch and rear bumper. :icon17:

Not today, but we can do it when I do my serious all out run later.

Nah. If I was modded and you beat my time that'd mean I am just a bad driver.

Would give me sooo much trolling material.

Yeah and the fanboys would buy it too.

But if you did beat my stock time I will just go out and run on slicks and post a modded time. I can run 11's easy on ET streets. Trackshun is my issue. :icon17:

I think I will really try it some day (just the seat). That plus all the stuff in the trunk is a good 100 lbs off the car.

Then I would have to refer to Dan's list of commandments for the appropriate troll response.

Yeah, that's a ton of weight. You should do that next spring when we go to MIR with the GTR guys.

I would probably give it a go as well. I can take my passenger seat, rear seats, and all of the trunk stuff out and cut close to 100lbs too.

Shahid, just let me know, and I'll remove your seat. It's very easy to do :tup:

In fact, we could do it right there at the track. I can come down with you one of these days, and we'll remove the passenger seat and the stuff from the trunk, and I'll watch it for you.

Although would lightening the rear of the vehicle decrease traction?

I don't think it would make a difference at all with traction.

Indeed.

100 lbs off the Z would be huge. Shahid has the best of all possible conditions considering he's only like 140 lbs soaking wet, and we have tracks here with very, very low DAs.

If only he could drive MT well I'd let him jockey the 5.0. :tup:

I've got it. We drastically weight reduce shahid's car and he drives it. we put all that in your car and I drive it. You take a video.

The Z fanboys would worship that video until the end of time. :bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl:

I am definitely going back to the track next spring, or maybe even later this fall (probably not), when I have my PSSs on. I'm interested to see how it goes with the tune. Stock I was bouncing off the rev limiter in 4th gear about 150ft before the finish line. That shouldn't be a problem now. 114+ traps here I come!

We ought to do it up big once and have a MAZOC track day or even do a MAZOC dyno day.

For the MAZOC track day we should piggyback with the GTR/Mercedes crew that rents out MIR. I've talked about it before but haven't tried to organize anything yet. $100 per car and you get unlimited passes from 9-5. Usually only 40 cars show up so you get a ton of uninterrupted track time. Shooting for February or March of next year.
