Though the power.. and V8... :yum:



*edit*

also, cool shot too if you took it.


Yeah, I understand that gripe...but I'm driving the thing, not looking at it, so not such a big deal to me.

The engine sound though...:yum:

Haha, Yea. You will have to give me a ride in it sometime.


Hows the gas mileage in it?

still breaking it in, but better than 20mpg. I'm averaging better than the Z did during break-in.

Red__Zed 09-13-2011 10:15 PM

I'm planning on rolling out to the meet on Friday if you want to check it out-- it's pretty nuts.

I haven't driven it... So I don't know how it is... But I plan to maybe come this fall or something.

There was a really great cruise last year that should be happening again this year as well. The Evo guys are already talking about the same thing.

Here's the coverage from last year:

So now that you've traded, you're now obligated to yet another marque club--Rocket City Mustang Club. :tup: So to stay fully engaged, you have to hit 4 club meetings a month--Nissan, Subaru, s2000, and Mustang. :ugh2:

And then there's the web sites to check--mysubie.com, s2ki.com, the370z.com, rocketcitymustang.com, and huntsvillecarscene.com. :bowrofl:

That should keep you busy whenever you have an ounce of free time. :tup:

K, I'll be there.

Saw you on the way to work this morning... Just realized it to late... haha.


So, what are your plans for the 5.0?

Red__Zed 09-14-2011 08:52 AM

That cruise looks awesome. We will have to get something going up that way soon :tup:

stock for now. Thinking Koni yellows, X pipe, FRPP mufflers, intake, tune. Should be ridiculously fast at that point...but other things are a priority over more money in the car...

Besides, it is fantastic right now. I got the brembos, 3.73 rear end, etc. Basically setup the way I want from the factory. It is just slightly underdamped and a little quiet for my taste.

Nismo221 09-15-2011 05:18 PM

If anyone is heading down to Z Nationals I'm heading out Friday morning, the 23rd. Plan to make it to Z1 about lunch time to get the pre track walk down done. If anyone wants to cruise along let me know!

Red__Zed 09-16-2011 04:30 PM

Ugh, wish I was going. :(



Who's in for the meet tonight?

solid showing last night...good meet all around.

Now for some football all weekend :tup:

Parkerman 09-17-2011 12:24 PM

Checked out the Pacman thread... I laughed.


Also, How do you like your GoPro? I've kinda wanted one, but not sure how much I would actually use it.

it's pretty awesome. I don't use it much, but it is cool to have when I want it. They're so cheap it is hard to not pick one up.

Yea, I looked at one that was $300, and then buying a digital back. I have another little video camera I think I'm going to try out today. Been trying to figure out the best way to record sound.. I've got a decent video cam mic, and was going to use it on my laptop... But it wont work.


You going to the Dragon today?

you can pick up the motorsports version for like $215 from ebay and the vendors on here-- which for car stuff, is what you want.

Sound is the only weak spot. Haven't figured anything out on that yet.


No dragon today...too lazy to drive up there.

Red__Zed 09-23-2011 01:39 PM

Spotted a 40th in the hsv garage

Parkerman 09-23-2011 11:51 PM

Saw another black Nismo today.

I think I like the Nismo in black more than other colors.

Red__Zed 09-25-2011 10:10 PM

saw nismo with "french1" plates at the airport today, and another black nismo on the way home.

Away on business? Or back in VA?

Red__Zed 09-26-2011 02:23 PM

Both...was good to get back in the car today. The Subaru feels like it has no torque after driving the 5.0 :rofl2:

Hah, I drove the SRT yesterday. Something is wrong with its transmission... going to change the fluid in it to see if it helps... But its a lot harder than it use to be to get it in gear.

But after driving it... It made the Z feel so slow.

Red__Zed 09-28-2011 02:27 PM

Saw a red roadster on the pkwy this morning

Red__Zed 09-30-2011 05:28 PM

Anybody want a stock exhaust or springs? Or muteki lug nuts?

I also have a clutch replacement spring I will give away.

Red__Zed 10-13-2011 07:24 PM

Red__Zed 10-14-2011 07:34 PM

saw a black nismo on the parkway this evening

Parkerman 10-17-2011 08:14 AM

Actually saw a black Mustang on the over passes this morning.

Red__Zed 10-21-2011 12:26 PM
