GT-R drops 'Ring time down to 7:29 {Autoblog}
May 1st 2008 12:23PM The tyres used make a HUGE difference on laptime in a track that is as long as the Nordschleife.
Interesting write up of the rubber used here: http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Article/Nissan-GT-R-Tyres.htm
Michelin creates Energy Saver gas-conserving tire {Autoblog}
Sep 9th 2007 1:56PM Couldn't have put it better myself.
While block pattern and carcass makes a slight difference the more effective way of lowing RR is harder rubber or thinner tyres. If you wanted to save gas that much you could just go down a couple of sizes and over inflate. (neither of which I advise!)

Aug 24th 2007 8:50AM Excellent point Kowell, picking a set of aftermarket rims for your car that actually fit is hard enough these days, let alone if they add lots of tyre pressure systems through the hubs!

Jul 4th 2007 10:15AM Too bad the v2 nismo kit looks so bad... and this is coming from a guy who Nismo kitted his 350z recently!
Would love that engine though.
Australia: TRD Aurion engine exceeds performance targets {Autoblog}
Jun 20th 2007 10:11AM The VQ in the latest Gen 350z is 306hp NA and has the low down torque you speak of...
The old VQs were 400/400 if you bolted a supercharger on them.
Numbers must be wrong.

It's not 'Z,' it's 'Zed': Zedfest at Silverstone {Autoblog}
Jun 6th 2007 9:54AM You can just see me hanging out of the pits watching. Ironically I own a Z (350) but I was there in my MR2 for the timeattack challenge that was supporting the D1 Drift that day.
The weather was perfect, great day.

May 18th 2007 10:31AM Only Tiff the legend could turn running out of runway into a fine 4 wheel drift on dirt with 2 beautiful women in the back. The man is class.
5th Gear still isn't better the topgear, however cute those girls were :)
