Racing - Your addiction?

[G35COUPE]

Last night, I nicely spanked a brand new 2009 Chevy Cobalt LS Coupe with my 260,000 miles 1993 Nissan B13. By the third gear, it was not even close at all. I bet the kid in the Cobalt felt really bad.

1993 B13 - two door coupe, 5 speed, manual, 1.6 L engine, 110 Horsepower, I-4 (2200 - 2300 lbs)

2009 Cobalt LS - two door coupe, 5 speed, manual, 2.2L engine, 155 horsepower, I-4 (2600 - 2700 lbs)

I am about to install brand new fuel injectors in the B13 and I have no doubt it would whoop many more a$$e$.

A thread full of semi philosophical questions for those that race your cars/bikes.

What about it do you love?

What about it do you hate?

Feel free to write up your experiences racing and anything related.

Tips and helpful hints to those less experienced are welcome too.

Actually i'm not fan of racing but i'm fan of watching racers bumping to each other.

Have you bought this thing yet 'ballz?

mph it was on a local road course here in central florida, no sure what its called its really 2 straights joined by a high speed curve so it wasnt straight 0-150, the grip in my z has really improved since i got new coilovers

My thoughts on the older model Zs handling is that it needs stiffer sway bars and different tires. This would have been the best cost saving in improving the Zs handling. Bigger sway bars, even Nismo versions, would cost about $350. Then, add Toyo Proxes T1R tires to the Z, and you are all set. The Toyos will set you back by about $1,000 for the 4 tires. One of the cheapest places you can find them are www.tiredeals4less.com.

The newer 370z is more stiff and rigid. You can feel it when you drive.

I was surprised to find out the my Nissan B13 could whoop a 2007 BMW X3 and a mid 90s BMW E36 with catback exhaust. I had to clean my eyes thoroughly when all of this was happeneing.

Not yet, but we did find out we can road register it for CAMS events. even track days

[2ndclasscitizen]

**** yes.

[whiteballz]

Yeah, Epic shenanigans are on the table.

[clutch-monkey]

drive it here, rally it through glasshouse mountains.

[whiteballz]

There is a serious flaw with that plan.

I'd end up beating you.

[clutch-monkey]

yeah - i don't do dirt roads

[whiteballz]

Im pretty sure your last victi.. girlfriend said you loved the dirt roa... wait.. Ohhh I See now.

I think I'd have you on a tighter circut. but down the straight on QR you'd rape the hell out of the rex.

[clutch-monkey]

[whiteballz]
