[telemakos]

I retired from the Army in 2001, but the wife didn't want to live in a "Unabomber" shack with my 3-figure pension. So I'm back in the gov't with U.S. Dept. of HUD.
I often joke that I'm like that guy on the Shawshank Redemption that didn't want to be paroled, so I ran back to the gov't.

I think I'm ready for parole now.

Maybe you could show them what a real muscle car is.

At least there's still a school district that teaches that stuff. My old high school turned the entire Industrial Arts building into plain-vanilla classrooms. :angry::complain:

What's wrong with 'cold air intakes'? My G-35 seems to like it fine. Even has a cool rear spoiler, and Infinity built it 'low'. Hummm.....

G-35? Wow, that's a nice ride. Better version of the 350z.

Thanks gallogiro,

I love it!

I looked at the 350Z, but like a bit larger interior. With a back seat that can actually be sat in.

It's a fun car to drive, either in automatic mode or as a 5 speed standard. With the Cold Air Intake, I figure about 310-320 ponies, that push it very nicely.

Probably my only complaint is it has high road noise, which means ya need to keep the tunes turned up.

Thanks again,
Frog.

Tire change in order?


As far as I've been able to determine, cold air intakes are supposed to increase air density of the incoming charge, but others have said the cooler air requires more BTUs to heat it up anyway so it really doesn't get you anywhere. In my mind, it may have an advantage when it gets hot in the summer, helping delay the onset of pre-ignition a bit by keeping the temperature in the cylinder a few degrees lower.

I have NO idea what a computer-controlled engine makes of all this.
