Two 370Z's Playing at Summit Point

ResIpsa · 04-27-2015, 09:08 AM

Forum member TakJak is driving the white Z with Crux riding shotgun. I am in a 2009 with 108K miles on it. Apart from K&N drop in filters the motor is bone stock.

Safety is important to me so I have gutted the interior and have a 6 point roll bar and race seats. I run a HANS device and use a custom cool shirt system covered by a SFI rated TraqGear shirt (this shirt is not only fire resistant it is so comfortable my wife wears it to sleep).

For my exhaust I simply removed the muffler and attached open pipes. I have a custom front splitter and a massive custom rear wing that plants me in the corner but hurts my top speed on the straights.

I am running well worn 275/35/18 Nitto NT01's on all four corners. My brakes are CarboTech XP-12 up front and Porterfield R-4's in back (why? they have been sitting in my garage for years) with 2.5 inch brake ducts, steel lines, and Castrol SRF.

Looks like a blast and thanks for sharing...

Seems to me that you were nailing the corners like a pro.

Negative....for now. I'll be happy if it can knock off some 1:20 laps by the later sessions. Lots of little things to work through. Should get down in the 17's by late fall on fresh tires.

1:20 is absolutely flying. I think my best lap ever was in the high 1:26 range with my averages around 1:28.

Did you happen to spot a black Gt3 (996) out there? That was my father. He was out there all weekend as well!

I guess it is more of a Charcoal /gray. I think 4 is your highest group right? I think he bumped down a group since he just got the car back after having the whole thing prepped. It is only like his second time back out since a minor crash at the end of last season so he is sort relearning the car. If you ever bump in to him his name is Greg as well as mine, say hello!

Any safe car is allowed on track. As a novice you will be paired with an instructor.
