Default Three 350Z's, and now a 370Z

I had an 04 Z that got totaled March 2014. Then bought an 05 Z that I got for a steal, but it just wasn't quick enough. Trying to be cheap, I really thought (based on youtube videos of HR Z's whipping 370Z's ***) that if I got an HR Z I would be just as quick. so that's what I bought fall of last year, and gave my wife the 05...and I wasted a year behind the HR struggling to get it into the 12s this year.

Fed up with being let down after thousands of dollars wasted on trying different mods, different gearing, 3 different tunes, being walked by my buddy in basically a stock 370Z, I traded it in on my 2010 370Z which only has exhaust.


...And it ran a 12 my first day with it at the track. The conditions (for Maryland) weren't even the very best like we usually get this time of year.

Glad to be part of the team.
