Hillier looking to redeem himself and his team, after last year there is no way he can do worse….or can he? Well I be looking at the NHRAsportcompanct.com point standings, I just think he’s setting himself up for another disappointment. Anybody her like Hillier?

 

not a big follower of the NHRA SC class...how about a little background info for us?

 

i dont know anything about it either...its never on tv...

 

i wonder about this post...i think it is some half vast spamming..

 

it sounds like a trailer for an ad?

 

haha...i never thought about that...like someone transcribed it from the tv commercial....

 

"Bring on those new Mustangs." Now that is a joke, right? I can't comment any further, because I am a Mustang owner.

 

Its not a joke. the course where i run is full of kids who take a mustang, dump a TON of money into the engine so it makes like 600hp, and dont have the suspension to get around the turns. its like they dont realize that adding a ton of horsepower doesnt help you through the twisties any. i got my car about a year ago...i didnt want to get into workign aftermarket parts onto the car and worrying about warranty issues, so i went as big as i could from the dealership. i got the track model, with the NISMO exhaust, shock and strut kit, and sway bar kits, then i got underdrive pulleys from unorthodox racing, B&M short throw shifter, and a CAI from Injen. Yokohama Parada Spec-2 rubber all around. stock body, stock wheels. not into body kits or any of that jazz, and i like my stock wheels. i know there are plenty of boosted 350Z's out there, but i am really happy with my car so i cannot complain. i have wanted to prevent my car from being any more of a target of theft, so i kept it as stock looking as possible. i have gotten to a 13.773 @ 101.44 miles per hour on the drag strip, but i wasnt slamming through the gears all that hard. Motor Trend says my car should run a 13.8, so i am happy with a 13.77! however, i have enver had a car that handled like mine does.

 

very nice Z! i think 13.77 is a pretty good time...and what kind of track do you mean with turns??

 

i have done some autocrossing, just a stock class. its nice with the Z because technically i have stock parts, yet my exhaust, suspension, so on are all better than stock. i would like to go to a road course, but im afraid of someone hitting me and screwing up my car. [:@]
