+5hp

However, I think he has a passenger, so that's like -10mph.

You could be going 170 with weight reduction.

Wow... I'm gone for the night and this thread went from epic to rediculous.

Thanks for the posts guys. (atleast to those of you who had anything valid to add to this conversation) It seems quite obvious that I miss boost.

PS. To those of you who searched all my posts, you have way too much time on your hands. I did buy the Z to keep it stock, but I changed my mind. Sue me. Its hard to stay away from "tuner status".

Its my drug.

Eh, i told myself no modding for a year. Just at a year now and I have every bolt on, a tune and LSD and Gear swap that should be done next week. lol. Intakes went in a month after the purchase and its been a never ending game since lol.

Its a bad habit, man. If I didn't propose last August, my Z would have something from GTM on it by now. I blame my fiance for calming me down. (And the $8k ring I bought her)

There's a similar thread like this on a 911 forum I go on. I would rather take a high revving 332hp engine with high precision at high rpm's (where you should actually be when you drive hard) than a low revving 400hp Evo that feels like every other aftermarket tuned turbo car out there. I don't give 2 chits about low end torque as I'm not a stop light racer. I don't give 1 chit about crazy hp figures or what stage your turbo'd car is at. I care about engine characteristics, and the VQ engine screams character. Especially when you're over 6K rpms.

^ Now if only they'd give us an oil pump that doesn't grenade at 8K

I'm trying to figure out how you took the picture with both hands on the wheel?

A timer, then a perfect toss of the camera?

for amazing skill!

I'm taking mine too! Plus my FI CBE and Air Intakes, front lip and more...
