no, there was one time where i was moving back to NC from GA. i had to get my last check and it was getting late. the only problem was that two weeks earlier i left my work jacket at a job in Newnan. they wouldn't give me my final check with out the jacket back or they were going to take it out of my pay. well my bank closing time was like 7:00 pm and it was close to 6:00 already. so i had to get from exit 237 on 75 all the way to Newnan and back to exit 237 and then down to 224 in an hour and i swear i was going 120 the whole way! i had to get to the bank to cash my check or else i wouldn't have had enough gas to get to NC. it was quite a few years ago and i was young and immature!

If we do a dyno day, we should do it at Dynolab in Marietta. That is the best dyno facility I've ever seen. You get a VERY nice printout w/ picture of your car on photo paper. They'll do $50/3 runs there as well with a group.

The dyno at Allspeed is pretty first rate too, I'll have to see what all they do. They moved in only a year-year and a half ago (ish). Marietta isn't exactly my favorite place, personally. A good dyno is a good dyno, however. Check out their website

hey jaypat, on that thread with the spoilers, in the background it looks like you live on a mountain or somthing, is there some nice curvy roads up there?what do you guys do in newnan

[JDMaster]

hey, WTF don't forget about the 650hp mustang.90% rice of GA is in PTC

[JDMaster]

240 KID Kennsaw has some real curvy roads. I will try to get a pic.

[nametakennow]

Domini, you said it was 750 yesterday, which is it?

Also, scroll up to that huge post I made a little while ago, I mention the 750hp 'stang.

650, 750, whatever, it's still way more than I ever thought of having (til I get a Skyline ).

[JayPat83]

i am actually in the mountains of NC right now, its where i am living, but tomorrow i am moving to ATL area! yes there are many curvy roads here. we have alot of parkways too. just got to watch out for those park rangers!

[nametakennow]

My bro lives in NC, the mountains between NC and Tenn are great! We drove from his college to my grandparents and went through those mountains, even at only 80mph, it was great. He was running boosted constantly (mmm... 1.8T), the boost gauge was almost as entertaining as the scenery.

[JayPat83]

where does your Bro go to college? oh and to 240kid, my brother had a plumbing call in Newnan last night. i think it was a leaky water line?

[nametakennow]

NC State, go Pack!

[JayPat83]

actually NCstate is close to the coast. i live right on the boarder of NC and TN.

[nametakennow]

Well, close is relative. Raleigh/Durham is actually about (note, about) equal distance between the mountains and the beach.

[JayPat83]

agreed. so what does w/pp mean?

[nametakennow]

The never ending question. Performance Package, which in "what does it do" terms= VLSD, 16"s, spoiler, sport suspension (higher spring rates than a base SE-R, go figure).

[JayPat83]

so it is better than the se-r non spec-v? less power thought right?

[EZcheese15]

SE has 145 hp, the base se-r has 165.

[nametakennow]

True, 20 fewer ponies (30 than a Spec). However, when you look at the dyno numbers, only 5-10 fewer at the wheels than a Spec, which seems plagued with power loss. Unless Nissan finally downgraded the hp numbers of the Spec like they ought to. I'd still rather have an SR than a QR at this point, too many recalls, once the QR has been around a while and Nissan gets its quirks out it'll be a different story. SE is lighter than an SE-R, btw... 2674 for SE ('01) vs 2730 for base SE-R, 2743 for Spec ('02).
