^ LastChance is taking this to a whole different level. He's also running race pads that are good for 1500+ degree brake temps (and sqeaky as all hell).

Oh, and I think he has more track days under his belt than every myg37 member combined, minus a select few.

Wheel base alone is worth it to get over the 370Z. It's a much easier (more forgiving) car to learn than a 370Z.

Who cares if he stripped or not? He did it cuz he can. I give him MAD props.

Keep up the good work, Dustin. You're setting the ways for the future G37 racers... if there are any.

I agree, although I was expecting a little more from just swapping out the front seats

Agreed, I don't know if 188lbs would be worth the hassle of paying for new seats and it would depreciate the looks scale.

Obviously, function > looks in this case. Welcome to the motorsports/track forum, where looks mean nothing, and performance means everything.

Props to the OP for stripping out the G for performance gains.
I would've just bought a used Z and strip the hell out of it.

I've lost ~10 lbs. since I've gone back to the gym....


My car feels a little faster and responsive.
