^ 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.

I agree with you Mike,.. He is going to the next level.. He's going straight track performance from the sound of it.
Pictures please

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.
