No not really, it'll be tame compared to those already been there and done it. I'm doing it for fun and a little project to keep me out of the way! It'll be for track use and occasional days out I don't think I could cope with it being a trailored zed!

Hehe, the OP sounds a lot like my initial reaction to stripping out the ZS, too!

At first I thought I had completely unbalanced the car (95% of the weight was lost from the rear,) because I was getting so much oversteer round corners. It wasn't long, though, until I realised that I was getting the oversteer beceause I was entering corners SO much faster, because of the extra acceleration.

I timed my 0-60 with a gtech the other day, and I after a couple of runs my average was around 6.6 sec, with the best being 6.51 sec. I'm not sure how accurate the gtech is, but I tried it when the car was standard and I got a best of around 7 sec (IIRC.)

Bloody noisey though.
