| Traction became an issue and it wasn't as fun on a daily basis. At the strip without slicks was f'ing pointless and I had a big brake kit so properly sized wheels for the slicks was another issue. I learned that reaching a HP that can be put to the ground effectively is more important than having more horsepower. Overall the car just didn't show the performance gains that I expected even with all that I had done. It didn't perform up to the sum of it parts. At an auto X event even with all the suspension mods and bigger wheels and tires and brakes it was still heavy and clumsy in the corners and required a slow approach to maintain control. The next step would have been too expensive to try and make it perform where I needed and wanted it to. On the Highway though it was a dream and I beat some serious cars, even some with more horse power than mine. The aero dynamics and gearing of the Z are made for Hwy roll ons, but those will get your a$$ thrown in Jail. It was nice though!!!
