I'm downloading as I write this. 'VeeTec' drove my car at the auto-x the other day and took first in the class driving my car. I took third out of a fairly large field

. Its surprising how much the 3.5L torque helps you on a fast course.

Who was the person who said "without supercharging it, this car has had as much done to it as can be done."

Looks like you were pretty smooth out there, good job.

lol... I missed getting my front wheel on the grass by about 3 feet (two wheels on the grass would have knocked me out.

the person who said the "supercharger thing" was one of my roomates who does not know much about maximas except that he likes mine and is looking to trade his jetta for the first 5spd maxima he can find.

tires show no signs of wear but I don't care because they are kumbos which means if I buy two sets a year its about equal cost to buying some nice SO2s or T/As

Nice vid...man, compared to the pro's in their state of the art race cars your run looked like it was in slow motion

BTW, How much do those z06 rims of yours weigh? Well...if they were Vette rims they would be like 16x9.5 so they're proly tuners right?

Nice Vid!

Did you ever downshift from 2nd or did you just lug it a little in the low rpms? I saw once where it looked like you tapped the brakes a little to switch, but wasnt sure.

And all this time I thought you were supposed to play "connect the cones" instead of going in between them
