    Default 350Z on an oval track.

    I will explain more later, but I just got this uploaded.

    *EDIT*

    Ok. So a small racing forum based in Cape Coral put together this little meet on a short track in Port Charlotte. I am not a big fan of oval tracks, but I liked the idea of a venue that allowed them to go at it without endangering the public. I had more fun than I thought I would.

    And a short race with me driving the Civic...

    Where's the Rubbin'?






    PS: I like how the extra sun-blocker in your visor kept pissing you off!

    You crunched both those guys in driving skill. I was so glad when you went past that Civic.

    How much HP does an '05 Z have? I'm thinking you are down about 40 hp to the 370, IIRC.

    I'd get bored as hell on that track after a few laps ... I need the twists.

    Is that a go-cart oval? Seriously though, where is that?

    Here is a clip with me driving the Civic against the Cavalier. It looks like we came close to rubbin in the vid, but we never came within 3 feet of each other. (unless you count the distance between bumpers before I made my move.)

    3/8

    ~20-second laps (seemed to be right around ~20seconds on your fastest give or take a second) is pretty d@mn good on a 3/8's.


    I know for a fact the fastest cars in the enitre world on short-tracks only run ~11.# second laps on 3/8's tracks.


    So to think your DD for the road is only 8/9seconds off-pace of the fastest cars in the entire world on such tracks... thats not too flipping bad!

    I could run a 30second lap in my civic.
