Captain's Log ~ Osbornsm

Hello all,

I had the sudden urge to compare lap times with my previous vehicle.

Currently Driving: 2011 370z = 350hp
- Used to Drive: 2004 VW R32 = 250hp + AWD
- Side note on the VW it had R-comp tires, Stoptech calipers, and coil overs. Not your ordinary VW Golf.

====Lap Times================================================

Autobahn Country Club
- South VW = 1:43.11
- Full Track VW = 2:56.4
- Full Track 370 = 2:52.65 - Video

Gingerman Raceway
New/long course
- 370 = 1:49:329 - Video

Old /short course
- VW = 1:38.9 - Video
- VW = 1:42.5

Grattan Raceway
- VW = 1:35.63
- 370z = 1:34.34 - Video

Blackhawk Farms
- VW = 1:26.0

Proof

I bought the rotors from a vendor, see here.

And the rears don't NEED to be replaced, even for track duty. So these would be 2-piece ONLY on the front.

...not to mention that they don't make a 2-piece rotor for the rear yet, but i'm sure there's plenty of douche kabobs lining up to buy "decorative performance".

The reason you would want rear would be for the weight reduction. It's like putting lighter wheels on the car!

But $400.00 for 10 lbs savings ? I'd say go ahead and save that for some track days !!!

Meh....people spend near 10x that for a set of wheels and not much more weight reduction. I'm just saying it's not really a douche mod of your serious about track time. People spend more on flywheels too.

Me...I'd get some one piece slotted rear to be vein. Don't care about the weight when you look this damn good! Lol! 😜
