On the track?

njs29 · Mar 10, 2003

Hello all,

Has anyone taken a G35 out onto a track?

I own a 1yr old, 10K mi., Twilight Blue G35 Sedan w/ automatic select shift trans.

I was wondering what the track experience was like and if there are any reccomendations before takin' mine for a little rubber burning of my own...hehe.

Thanks,
NJS

I have been wondering the same thing ever since I got mine LAST APRIL...[

Have you guys taken your cars out on a track yet? If so, how did they do?

I plan on doing so next month at Gingerman Raceway in Michigan.

I had concerns about brake fade though, even with the Brembos.

Don try this link. We do have a member who took his to the track not too long ago. Ran an impressive 14.16.

Chaz, I was thinking of another sort of track; the road course kind. These things are made for more than just straight line accelleration, you know!

Don,

I'm going to an Autocross novice school this coming weekend. Can't wait to tear up some cones! I'll let you know how it goes when it's all said and done.

It was awesome. [jump2]

I'll have a huge write-up on it by the end of the week along with pictures, video and the official results. I've been waiting for the official results to post so I can link to them. Still not up. Be back with the details soon.

Hey lead,

Looks good. You're hooked. [thmsup]

What tires and pressures were you runnin'?

How did the coupe and Z compare?

I haven't really pushed mine to the limit while cornering yet--is it pretty progressive and predictable from an oversteer standpoint, or does it just break out--I'm assuming you had vdc off--[phatyo]
