Andy gave me a ride in his Z when came out to CA. The acceleration is ridiculous!!! :aigo: Made me want to pull my engine and put it in a lighter vehicle! :biglaugh: I'm not sure if it pulls more G's from acceleration, or from standing on the brakes at 100mph+ with his bbk!!!

Aaron Remember that was only at 16~18psi, and it was over 100 deg out. Clifton had his at 32psi last winter, it was psychotic how fast that felt.

Have you ever been squating for a while then stood up real fast, and got a little dizzy? No shit thats what it feels like on a 3rd gear pull. I literally got a little light headed going for a spin (as a passenger) in his car.

Fucking awesome! That has got to be one of the better kills I've ever seen ;). You need a new camera man bad, lol.

I think he did turn around to find out where his ass was left at on the road. Either that, or he was taking the car back to the dealership as a faulty product, must be time for the enzo!!!

A friend of a friend, had an Enzo, I wish he still had it, or I wish my car was rolling when he had the Enzo. Now he has a Pagini Zonda, I gotta put that one together, huh?

I still would have crushed the Enzo. :biglaugh:

Nice, a Zonda ;). I have never seen one besides on Gran Turismo and Forza. Super rare car, but I don't know how fast it is in comparison to the F430...

You think you would have had the enzo? How much faster is it compared to the F430??

The idea of the 7mgte in a lighter car is very tempting.
I have seen a guy in New Zealand put a 7m in a AE86 Toyota Levin. The levin weighed like 1000 kg (about 2200 lbs).

That was nice! I got a chance to race a spider a few weeks ago. Lost but w/e. Now only if the f430 was the euro version. I heard those are crazy as hell. Pull some real G's.

The sunday just passed I went to Fry's Electronics and I saw a nice light blue Z car and a uniformed soldier was driving it.

Cheers,

Nice runs, the 430 is a fast ferrari, and you left it behind quick. The Zonda is a MUCH MUCH faster car with a much better power:weight ratio. It's powered by an AMG Mercedes V12, an all carbon-fiber shell, with tons of racing and F1 technology. I'm not saying it's unbeatable, but it would definetely be one of the toughest production cars to beat PERIOD.

Btw its been reported getting 21 MPG, I see that's missing from the online facts :p
