Nealio240z Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 After 5 months, I was finally able to drive my v8 z for the first time... I have never driven such a fast car. From 30 mph I hammered the throttle and stepped the car sideways, leaving 2 lines of rubber... It was awsome. My trip was cut short though, my altinator wasnt working, and at high RPM it cut out my coil... Killed my battery.... Ill send pictures of it soon... Ill let you know the E/T when I get it to the track... L8R:rockon: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mt 240-350 Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Redding is easy living... No one here has a v8 z that I know of... I had one in Weaverville till about 3 years ago and made very frequent trips to Redding in it to visit a good friend. Now it lives in Gold beach Or. With me, of course:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mason4300 Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 heh, maybe if I refer you to my grandpa there, he'll give you a discount on something. He builds motors and hotrods. Want a(nother?) Chevy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ULISES Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Very nice! I can't wait to go for the first drive. I had the same problem on the turbo festiva,the belt was loose and I had poor coil power.Hard to believe how something like this will affect power.oh well everyday you learn something new.
