Well, here's my ride now.

[lubecakes]

This car isn't really a project yet, but I have been slowly tweaking it. Hopefully this summer she'll be rollin' on some gunmetal 18x10.5s out back and 9.5s in front.

Before 20 and 25mm spacers:





After spacers:

[lubecakes]

287 hp/276 tq at the flywheel, naturally aspirated 24 valve 3.5 liter v6, 6 speed close ratio with a limited slip.

14.1 @ 100mph, have gone 150, speed limited to 155.

[lubecakes]

I tried to edit some info in my first post, but the editor was goofing up on me.

Hks lookalike exhaust (real deal costs 1600 bucks ouch), slotted and dimpled rotors with dust free pads, tailight tint, window tint, and some bulbs/reflectors to eliminate any amber colored stuff.

[turbo_cat1]

Those certainly set the car up far better - subtle changes really build to substantial effect. What year is she and when did you get her?

[lubecakes]

I got her in august of '09 with 27,000 miles, now she has 47,000. I've been sockin payments and remodeling the house so the good stuff has to wait.....almost paid off. It's an 03 touring edition. My computer was recently wiped so I'm working on getting some more new pics up.

nice Z lube!

[lubecakes]

nice Z lube!

Thank you

[pavmentsurfer]

Man, I have a set of wheels in my garage that would look so sweet on that car. Too bad we live so far away from each other. Hehe.

[lubecakes]

Got pics and/or specs? The ones I've selected will literally miss my 1/4 panel by 3-5 mm, but I may roll the 1/4 panels and go with another 10-15mm of offset. My goal is to have them out where they are now, but with 2.5" more rubber inside the rear wheel well, and 1.5" more in front.

[08kgraves]

yay............. a true tuner and not another ricer punk lol. i hate ricers lol. my car will never get a giant wing on the back, useless wings are for penguins lol

[Mustang63.1]

I love it, my bro has an fx35 with the 3.5 in it and it is pretty quick!

[lubecakes]

Thanks guys, I'm working on an acceleration video, but I don't have a fancy camera mount so that's gonna be tricky.

[08kgraves]

me either lol, i just hold phone and wheel with left hand and point cell phone at gauges while shifting with my right hand lol

[lubecakes]

Yeah I just did that lol. How do you post the video from youtube instead of just a link?

[lubecakes]

It's preety slow, but that's why It's stock right? Mod that sucker!

[lubecakes]

Well, it is just a 3.5 liter na v6, and 14.1 @ 100 mph ain't bad for a 3300 lb car with a 235lb driver.
She'll be getting modded eventually.

Btw Bob, good luck keeping up with me in the corners

[bazookamaxx]

need some good rims on it, looks like a typical rental car as is

[lubecakes]

Yeah, better rims are coming, they're 18"x 8" stock wheels now.

[08kgraves]

ive got like 14" x 6" wheels they might only be 5.5" wide, not sure lol

[lubecakes]

Hey at least it's less weight lol.

[08kgraves]

they are pretty light not gonna lie. There the R/T wheels for my car though. i just wish they were a little wider and a 15 so tires with a wider footprint are easier to find lol

[lubecakes]

You can always stuff a little wider tread on whatcha got.

[08kgraves]

yeah fronts are 175/65R14 and rear are 185/65R14 so i figure once i wear the fronts out ill look into 185's or bigger.

[08kgraves]

oh, how was cedar point by the way? did you like it?

[Bob'stang]

More then likely yes, but on a circuit track my car takes corners plenty good.

[lubecakes]

Cedar point was awesome! I live 1/2 an hour Darien lake, but Cedar point blows that place away. The top thrill dragster is something I could do all day.

[minirevobasher]

Those gun metal black rims are going to look sweet

[minirevobasher]

$1000 a piece!?!?!?!?!

[lubecakes]

No lol. 1000 per set.

[bazookamaxx]

those wheels will sure make your Z one mean ride, nice offset and tucking

[08kgraves]

those wheels are pretty darn sweet.









did you ride the dragster front seat? its the only way to make it worth while trust me. front seat is like 40X better because you get the wind in your face, nothing blocking your view, you get the water from the launch cable in your face, best experience ever. but i must say as cool as the dragster is i like millenium force more because its not 10 seconds long lol. pretty much anything there front seat is usually worth the extra wait. but i mean we used to get season passes and go every day in the summer when i was little.

its cool, but for the most part its just over played for me being local lol. the biggest thing i hate is all the traffic it brings lol

[lubecakes]

We lucked out with the waiting in line, I think the longest wait was about 25 minutes, and we hit just about everything except the mantis and maverick. Unfortunately we had to hurry along due to in-laws and their children, but at least I rode the dragster twice.

[08kgraves]

did u get to ride millenium? where you from anyway man?

[Sniffin' Nitro]

Nice ride man! Do you run on Uncle Bens or regular white rice? whats you Octane%? and I suppose the exhaust smells like Fortune cookies right????.......lol!
