I doubt this will ever happen, but I want to see a 400Z with a 4L V8 that revs to at least 8,500rpm and makes 380+ hp with a true dual clutch manual as an option.

I couldn't DD an Elise, its just too impractical in every way. But, as a weekend car for going for a blast through the mountains it is the best car to own IMO.

The Z isn't terribly practical...

A lot of modern epoxies are stronger than the material they are designed to bond together... but I'd still be cautious and just buy a new one.

19's generally weigh more as a unit and definitely cost more to replace. It's already not cheap to go to the track, why make it more expensive than necessary?

More so than just camber and toe adjusters, though, the camber gain, bump steer, toe gain, roll center, and maybe some other stuff could be negatively affected.

"Generally", the more you lower a car, the more you screw up the geometry that the original engineers designed into it. It may actually go lower, they just don't recommend it.

My old 350Z with a 6spd seemed to have 1 too many gears for street driving, but it was great on the race track. I skipped gears a lot on the street.

I've been searching AutoTrader.com for up to a 500 mile radius from my house and about the cheapest I've seen ANY 370Z listed for is $28,000. It seems most are listed for $31k to $35k so I think...

Another thing is that your tires are a part of your suspension as well. If your stiff coilover severely overpowers your tires sidewall stiffness, you could get some odd handling. The whole package...

If I remember correctly, the RA1's are a far stickier tire than the RE11, so that is quite an improvement on brakes alone. I only had 8 track days and about 800 miles on my old Z. I wish I could...

I've done VIR full course with a 350Z and BASE brakes. With Hawk HP+ pads I could get 4-5 laps before getting brake fade. My factory rotors lasted until 80,000 miles or so before I was getting...

Yeah, the average driver is going to stuff it into the nearest immovable object if they push the brakes while the rear is sliding. I think drifting is a stupid "sport" so I could care less what...
