Is yours otherwise stock with respect to intake and cats? What size resonators do you have? Last question: do you have any exterior clips of a drive by where your not pushing 5k rpm?

I have to ask: why is it that when everyone posts clips of a drive by or pull away they have to "launch" and scream by at 5k+ rpm? While that's nice to hear from time to time..it gets old..quick. I'm more interested in hearing an exhaust under normal driving conditions.

Ok, I'll get off my soapbox now.

I used Meguiar's Ultimate Quick Detail to remove some water spots that were being baked by the Texas sun. Nothing else to report...

Good call. I'm going to the store tomorrow to get this and tire shine.

Went to a mini car meet, and posed with Steve's (srbrubak) blue Z, then checked out some other cool cars including a Hennesey Camaro and a Kennebell blown SRT8.

eerrr... i must get DSLR.

nice picts, G2Z!

nynhex- good job taking off spots. spots can potentially lead to paint etching.

so best to remove asap.

happytheman- i agree. not sure why they need to go down a 35mph road at 60mph+ to show off some fake exhaust...which doesnt even sound that good cause of the silencers the installer forgot to remove.

hahaha yah, you know which clip im talking about.

Well then, I hope you redlined the shyte outta your ride on the way to your destination while telling him to suck it up!

It probably doesn't help the first time he drove with me was on the way out to a ski/board trip and i had my truck sliding around with a cliff on one side and a rockface on the other. But the funny thing is he would rather i drive my old truck then my car, it will be funny when the engine swap is done in my old truck as it should be able to kill my Z, but i don't think he understands that yet. LOL

that CF wrapped rear plug does look pretty.

Yah go for the FIntensions for sure!!!

Thanks Kenchan. Yes I have been, and still SO MUCH I want to do. I'll post pictures of the b-pillars when they're done in that CF wrap. And for sure I'll get the FI CBE. A friend of mine has it here in Vegas. Sounds awesome. I wonder what difference the various sizes of resonators makes though...

Thanks Ken.... how long must I "tease" you???

Also, I now have 1213 miles on Zena.... WOOHOOOOOO.... I finally rev'd it to about 7k rpm last night. Still didn't get to redline yet, but I don't think I need to

Zena stays covered in the garage today.... strong storms in the area

kenchan · 06-02-2011, 09:37 AM

Tanooki- check out the DiNoc thread in the interior/exterior section. I posted quite a bit in there.

I was up late last night and was rewarded with an obstruction free drive home. What a great car we all have here.

Mt Tam I am · 06-02-2011, 12:14 PM

A guy complimented me on my 370 "zed". I said "Thanks, are you from Canada?" since I detected no accent.

His answer : "Top Gear". Can't complain he isn't speaking English.
