  1. I certainly dont doubt that the SLR would be more stable at high speeds. Im referring to whether or not the Z has the muscle to pull away from the SLR on the big end. Im surprised your car felt unstable. Then again, youre benchmarking it against some pretty serious high-speed machines.
  2. I'd be very surprised if a 500rwhp C6Z06 that weighs significantly less than an SLR wasnt able to easily outrun it, all other things being equal.
  3. Lol I shoulda said 355, damnit. True, I havent driven one.
  4. Bankrupt me, hardly. But I'd certainly shit a brick if I shelled out 30k in one year to maintain a car. And most of the 04 gremlins are what Ive been told by first hand owners.
  5. I keep hearing that the 04-05 Gallardos had reliability issues, which of the two would be less of a headache?
  6. Details? Dont tell me its slow, I figured that already. I read about wonderful steering feel blah blah blah and they sound nice. What else?
  7. What the title says. I browsed F chat for a bit, 15k service for 2k and 30k service for 4-5k isnt so bad. Or am I missing something?
  8. Franco is an independent lambo mechanic in the San Fernando Valley here. Ive heard good things about him, he looks after Vahe's cars, including his twin supercharged roadster. Abolfaz, Ive seen the twin vortech setup on an SV here in CA a couple of times. I dont think the guy drives it too hard, so no idea how it runs, etc. The car in general is in slightly ratty shape.
  9. Whoa, you guys blew him out of here already? Is L-P getting less tolerant of the riff raff?
  10. A 23 year old kid starting threads about how he's going to sell his 350Z and get a Murci in two years? Not even worth the bandwidth to demolish this toolbag.
  11. How funny that the guy who starts the thread calls it "Owners" and doesnt own one? Edit: Thats what happens when you read the first post and fire off a reply. DIdnt realize the next ten people to post railed him. Lol.
  12. Ask Charliex what he thinks of a 50k bang for the buck piece of turd. He got a ride in one last week.
  13. Bin Sulayem's Nissan Patrol? That things pretty crazy. Gotta love a brick that can trap 140ish.
  14. Its the power delivery that causes that. An 800hp supra needs a monster turbo that spools late and hits like a freight train. You cant feather it, youre either full bore or off boost and dead in the water. If we're talking high hp supercharged FGTs, then its because the power is much easier to meter. Even if you bring the TT monsters into the equation, youve still got smaller turbos and more displacement to reduce the imbalance and smooth out the power delivery, or spread the torque over a wide rpm band. Plus, the engine/drivetrain layout is more conducive to hooking the power up than on a front engine, rwd car.
  15. Dude what in the hell ? Either Im going blind or that car has Mickey Thompson drag radials on the FRONT tires.
  16. Kewl. And what happened with Weazel? Or is that not public consumption right now?
  17. How are there suddenly all these SP-names on the board? Did the whole shop suddenly sign up? And did weazel start working for dwiggy? What the hells going on?
  18. I dont race Im all about the DYNOS. Hella streetricer 4LYFE!
  19. Doesnt the guy own a bunch of 1-800 sex lines or something like that? Why is everyone always dancing around what he does?
  20. Azinger, no shit? Wow. Never thought I'd hear his name related to something like THIS! lol
  21. 5-8hp? A difference that small doesnt even merit consideration. Hell, ambient temp differences or simply airflow over the motor could cause a variation of that amount between two cars.
  22. Yup. Theyre named Jihad One and Jihad Two. And my plate says Atheists for Breakfast, Infidels for Lunch, Agnostics for Dinner.
  23. Christ there are more z 0h six threads on this board than on the damn z oh six forums.
  24. Its not the seats themselves I refer too, they are very nice, I meant the pictures more than anything, with the passenger seat missing, etc etc.
  25. Lol. This thread rocks. I want to see some serious smack. That LPE car is awesome, personally (and this is my opinion so its worth the paper its printed on) I think you should refit the interior with as many stock parts as possible (seats, etc etc) and then relist it with the other pics pulled out. Right now I see a great looking car with an interior that looks like a 86 Foxbody project car. Some rich old clucker is going to buy this thing and shit himself the first time it goes into boost. It will be back up for sale in no time. LPE tends to build cars so bloody fast the customers cant handle it!!!! :supz:
