| driven triggering (configurable by the ZEM) which will give it more low-end power. I dont expect the turbos to be very laggy though based on the manifold/exhaust/throttlebody/intercooler/piping/porting that it has. I'm looking for something that has usable street grunt from the moment the pedal is exercised. On the other end of the spectrum though, the car should be able to produce some nice numbers. I'm not shooting for a dyno-queen here at all - hand grenade manufacturing sortof lost its appeal with me. The suspension work I have done will give the car the 'tunability' for roadcourse racing, drag racing, or easy highway cruising. Nothing too elaborate in the suspension though as the car's native suspension deserves its own merits. It does leave a bit to be desired when it comes to drag racing and I'm sure I'll put the car on the strip to see what she does. When it all boils down to it, I'm not looking to build the car to set any new humdrum dyno records or 1/4 mile times. I have built and tuned my fair share of cars simply to turn that drum up a little faster and being realistic about it all, I really just want a strong, reliable street Z that comes with all the creature comforts, reasonable exhaust note, etc.., but something that any other 4 wheeled vehicle out there will have a tough time trying to lay claim to. My biggest passion with these cars is autocross, always has been. There's no other type of racing as invigorating, IMO.
