Gotta say, having seen both the Z06 and R35 in the flesh i'd be more inclined to take the Z06 as a track car. Sounds absolutely amazing and looks to be much more of a drivers car, the R35 has too much electronics and hi-tech gizmo's to really be able to have fun in it.

i race against a Z06 and they are really quick and heaven forbid very reliable as well. This thing has always finished every race its been in.

Ohh god just found out there a bloody dogde viper entered in the series as well now......

The bloke loves checking what gear he's in.

gee.. dont you love the keyboard worriors that enjoy perusing you tube? People that seem to know soooooo much abour cars and racing that have never stepped foot out on a race track..

hey, that is a bit weird, i remember getting lost with mine also, guess its a 6 speed thing. i remember i just used to skip gears on downshift, get confused and leave it in neutral. lol.

It's a V8 thing, sometimes I have to check mine to see what gear i'm in too :(

I was fine with my 6 speed in my old car, but then drove a mates with a short shifter and absolutely sucked at it and jumped gears!!!

didnt like the short shifter on them!

For me it was more of a not knowing what gear you're in, rather than missing gears. Not used to the torque of a V8! I'll still do it sometimes, 3rd and 4th can seem pretty much the same sometimes.

I've got a Ripshifter in mine and it's miles better than the stock throw. Stock is way too long... hell, even the ripshifter is still too long :(

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
