This was a stressful day to get there. The drive to lower Jersey from CT can be as short as 2.5 hours. Thursday afternoon rush hour: 5 hours. Only day available for me.
I wanted to turn around and head back at the three hour mark. I got a burger at a drive up and scratched my front rim on the f#$%ing curb. Sitting in traffic for two hours. AAARRGGGhhhhhhh.......
Once there, it wasn't too crowded and I got in (5) runs: 11.90, 11.72, aborted pass (Overreving caused limp), 11.75, and 11.77.
I had guys coming down from the stands to check out the fast Infiniti. Said it was the smoothest fast car on the track. As well as the best looking.
I'm learning iMovie. This was fun:
I'm about done with the track for now. I'm driving it efficiently, and I can't see much more improvement unless I push the boost up. And with stock pistons, I am already REALLY at the edge right now. That would be costly.
It was a gratifying drive home: Made it in 2.5 hours. Karma came back around.
Thanks for watching.

Had a blast reading the thread. Honestly the best coverage I've read on this forum, you kept everyone updated even when when you had no replies... outstanding contribution, this forum needs more guys like you. Keep up the great work, and The Shop seems like a very professional shop whos owner takes pride in doing his job.

I knew the ratty Honda would spoil my birthday party.
That car probably only made 450whp, but I am certain the car weighs 700lbs less (or more).
All motor = No turbo. Good for him.
BTW-- he redlighted. Infiniti FTW!

I read every bit of your thread and I really enjoyed it too! I especially loved all the videos and the work and effort you put into the videos is greatly appreciated! It just proves to me what a great company GTM is to work with as a customer! I'm going the SC STAGE II very soon myself and you just reinforced my decision to go with GTM! Thanks again COOP!
