The Brembos on the 350z Track are different. I don't know if they are as good (or better) than Brembo's aftermarket Gran Turismo kits. The only problem I have w/ my Brembos is finding a suitable pad for the track. I've run the factory Brembo / Ferodo pads and overheated them (heavy uneven...

A gent down the street from me had a red NSX and Delorean. Then one day, the Delorean was missing from his garage and replaced w/ a black NSX. Michael.

Ken, Although you clarified what "hot" is in your first reply to me, your original post indicated otherwise (and I explained why in my reply above). We can continue to argue about this, but I'm going to end it here because the topic will just go further off-topic. I've said what I wanted to...

Ken, I understand this is an NSX board so everybody is entitled to be NSX-biased. That is to be expected. I understand that everybody has different tastes in cars. That is also to be expected. Some people come right out and say, "I don't like the 350" (on this board, the 350 board, whatever...

Re: Re: went by mazda today to see the RX-8 Nissan built 30,232 coupes for 2003 which met their 30,000/yr goal. 4,000 roadsters are going to be made for 2004, all of which have been spoken for. Why are you so anti-Z? Whenever the Z is mentioned, you always seem condescending towards the car...

Hi All, ZCOT is hosting a 1 day DE at Hallett Motor Racing Circuit in Hallett, OK. Cost is $120 and details/registration is on http://www.zcluboftexas.org The event is open so please pass this on. Thanks! Michael.

It looks as much as an NSX as the NSX looks like the CERV-III Corvette prototype: http://www.corvette.nl/modellen/proto_c5.html, http://www.conceptcarz.com/folder/vehicle.asp?car_id=190&autoShowID=10&vehicleTypeID=0 Michael. [This message has been edited by mdoan300 (edited 24 March 2003).]

Do the 911 Turbo and Viper also fall into that category? Michael.

Chris, glad to hear you plan on keeping the 300! Good luck on the NSX hunt and when you find & get one, you gotta let me drive it. Michael.

Chris, If you get an NSX, then you'll have to bring it to the next Carson's meet. I gather you're selling the 300 or Corvette? Michael. ------------------ 1994 300ZX Twin Turbo

Beautiful cars. I bet you guys had a fun time. Speaking of Sun Pass... I used to work for the company (Amtech) that did alot of work for the FL turnpike. IIRC, the toll booth gates are supposed to go up even during violation. Of course, if FDOT has a violation enforcement system (dunno if...

Your alternator might have kicked the bucket. Easy way to check: while the car is running w/ all accessories off (i.e. lights, ac, radio, etc.), check the battery voltage w/ a multimeter. If it's < 13v, then your alternator is dead. If it's >= 14v, then your alternator is ok. If it's between...

From what I can tell: platinum-tipped electrodes last longer than copper-tipped electrodes and iridium-tipped electrodes last longer than platinum-tipped electrodes. I believe that is the major, if not only, benefit between platinum-tipped vs copper-tipped. Personally, because I make it a habit...

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but: A dry sump generally costs more and requires more oil capacity. Futhermore, a dry sump uses pumps to suck oil from the heads, block, etc. and return it to the oil reservoir. A wet sump relies on gravity and because of that, your car (if it has a wet sump)...

Nissan designed the 350 Track model w/ the Porsche Boxster S in mind; personally, I would expect performance and handling to rival the Boxster S. The whole idea is Boxster S performance, but at half the price. Unfortunately, from what I've seen so far, some who have pre-ordered the Track...
