I wouldn't go anymore if you value the driveshaft. There is no point in it anyway with the wheel hop being a problem because you wont reach maximum potential. That's why I haven't even been yet.

That's because yours weighs about 400 pounds less than the 335i and the 370z weighs even less than yours. It's also the reason why a 335i will probably never be able to pass the 1/4 in 9seconds. Or the GTO which is 3,725lbs I believe and it's horrific for a 2 door coupe. The G37 is about the same.

You can also get a transmission mount to improve shifting. http://www.z1auto.com/prodmore.asp?m...ne&prodid=4528

^Good deal. I'm getting close to preparing the car for the drag strip too. Still need a pair of slicks for the rear and a 6puck carbon clutch.

Also read this thread on how to preload the drivetrain for drag racing. http://my350z.com/forum/forced-induc...ter-axles.html I actually have done that for a while on the street but doesn't work well with a weak clutch.

That's the method I've always used to launch my manual cars at the track.
