As for the trade in. they gave me $30,000 for the car, i owe $49k. By the end of the finance contract with the Z, i would have paid $73,000. By the end of the contract with the truck ill owe $51,000. Plus my insurence drops from $5300 a year to $2400.

ill stop by thursday, the way it looks jody ill have one bill to pay on my 15th pay so ill need you to install the alarm/remote starter that i bought and never put in the Z after the 15th.

And rob the reason why i lost so much is cuz theres quite abit of cosmetic damage. Rear bumper, quarter panel, driver door, hood and front bumper all have to be fixed and repainted. And since the nightshade really screwed the tail lights up i think those have to be replaced as well.

Thats my old car thats at sherwood nissan. The springs are H&R sport springs. The car runs really strong, I do think here is a small leak somewhere in the downpipe(i think its from the car being so low and the dam resonator scrapping the ground all the time driving over speed bumps. The hood is also very chipped up.

thanks for the info blackcoblat69. I was actualy going to buy it but then dodge called me back and said i was approved on the srt-10. Me and my gf heard that noise of the dp soon as we started the car. I love the way the car felt with the springs, the ride was so rough on mine with sportlines.

Yeah, that was me actually. I dont have the slip on me but that cobra ran 11 or 12 for sure, it just makes me look bad with my mid 14. Although I do need some better rubber for racing as what I have is a little too hard.

Just found the slip, he ran 11.914 @ 118.89 to my 14.645 @ 97.38. That one hurt a little.

Thats about normal. Dont worry about the other car, just race the time. Obviously they cant always match the cars up perfectly. a cobra with a kene bell supercharger will kill any cobalt.

Just wonderin,yesterday I saw a white SS with aftermarket rims (yeah I know that really lowers it down but I couldn't see what kind) Had a muffler delete or resonator delete on the exhaust (did not sound stock at all) and no window tint, saw you at the Seven Eleven in Spruce By greystone.

Plus every morning I see a yellow SS driving the opposite way on Devonian way (highway 60). Just wonderin if your on here

Looks nice mang. I dunno if it's just me but seems a little slow for a V-10 but I'm thinkin all that extra weight is a problem. What kind of Gas mileage does it get?

Makes me miss my little V8 Canyon

first night at the track, still trying to get use to driving automatic. I keep easing the brake out, thinking its the clutch. Few more nights i should be in mid/high 13's. Truck is like 5700lbs. Gas is horrible but oh well, if wanted good gas i would have gotten a smart car. $100 to fill the tank, get about 330km on the tank.

yea im going to buy the SCT tuner and have 3 maps, one for performance (nitrous), one for fuel economy and the other for valet mode. Hopefully with fuel economy i can get at least 400km on a tank.

only mods i can get to improve gas is headers and midpipe with hiflow cat and of course the tuning program. I just bought new spark plugs, waiting for the engine to cool down then ill swap them out. Would be nice to see a few more balts at the track.

I'm up for that, how much is it? $10? Not sure if my truck will be fixed by friday so i wont be drag racing. As i was changing plugs, i noticed the #2 boot/wire was really hard to get out, took it out and the piece thats in the boot to connect the wire to the plug came apart. Plugs and boots were all corroded so i need to replace them. $164 for wires and $164 for coils (might as well upgrade the coils)

Did you trade in the 370Z for the srt10?

I'll probably be at the Drift races. It's both the 17th and 18th according to their schedule. I went 2 weekends ago and it was 20 bucks per person. I kinda wish we had a bigger track though

cant be any worse then a 3000lb 370z that is about 3inches off the ground. The truck has 2 different powerbands, its really weird, i thought it was a issue with the truck when i first started looking into it. The low powerband can get me up to speed quickly but im confident that my tires wont have to much of a issue with traction. Its hard to explain but if u go test drive a SRT-10 QC (automatic) you will see what im talking about.

Nice. Yeah I wish we had a better place to take all of our cars to drifting or 1/4 mile. It gets fustraiting that I'm only alowed to drift 3 days out of the month and Thursdays of all days and street legals are all the time it's kinda not fair lol
