dont worry there is a cure for these z's, and it addresses itself with one thing; the letter "M"

umm what year is it...?

our 2004 Z4 has every option besides Nav screen and SMG... it has the sports package... but back in 2004.. the z4 was either 2.5i or 3.0i... and those don't look like the 18 inch wheels our family's has. maybe just the rims. *shrug*

imma google it anyhow.. curious now.

He will love it. and btw.. that TB SS was fast.. for a freaking SUV.. nice exhuast note and that dude hung with me around that corner I described up to about 85 MPH.. most SUVs would have been gone off the side rolling end over end at that speed. He musta had some beefy tires

its a brand new 2008, hence the 400 miles. they are def. 18's. those tb's dont handle terribly, but you should have left him haha.

now from a stop he probably would have showed you taillights

Iunno about that.

Read... I did leave him

I was going like 110+ around this corner ... I left him wayyyy back.. its a HUGE turn off the highway... like.. it honestly takes abotu 30 seconds to get around it.. and when it apexes.... it gets pretty sharp then opens right back up into long straight into East Lansing/MSU country!


the fam's Z4 I was driving is a clutchless manual.. Psh.. not even an SMG... wish it was manual.. but yeah.. I think a dig would be close... Im pretty sure, without resorting to Google right now, that the trailblazer SS is not much faster than high 5s 0-60...... I know the 2004 Z4 is barely under 6 seconds 0-60.

but damn... that car is not fun in a straight line anyways..... example.. taking long curves at 110 MPH+

i said from a dig

keep in mind its a brick, up top you will pull it.

my dad's tbss has gone 13.6's in a 20mph headwind, with nothing but some tq management removed, knock sensor desestized (sp?) and less timing pulled on tip in.
