Yes Chris, i'll be heading out for the alignment in the next fiew weeks, so having a fast road setting would be a great help. I can't wait untill all this snow is gone to really try it out. Just going around the block is such a tease.

Thanks Chris and to the gang at Zcars for making this all possible.

Adam.

New record amounts of snow on the ground, sigh.

Well time for some fun!!

Looks amazing, so how does it perform compaired to the vtec?

Also whats the noise levels like? Is it just a track car?

It outperforms the Vtec setup I had in it. RWD is quite abit faster around the corners than a FWD. Not sure about the Zcars Vtec setup thought. They seem to put out allot of power although they are heavier as well. Weight will effect braking as well as handling so the busa might have a slight advantage at a track.
My car is mostly a street car. It's used a few times a week for "fun runs" to the store. (I always manage to find a store that’s far away with twisty roads) It's a blast to drive. As for noise levels, ya, they are up there. I'll try to get them lower this summer.

[PushingTin]

What thoughts have you got for getting the noise levels lower Adam? Two mufflers?
