What a hectic last 24 hrs. Thats how it goes i guess. We took home a win today in our sponsored 350Z driven by driver/owner Mike Bonanni from Vegas! It rained
for about half of the day, and i have some in car footage to edit and post.
Kognition sponsors this car with a full race air splitter/diffuser/air dam package, and a full race hatch. As a contingency sponsor the the Redline series this year, we provide cash awards for those drivers that run our parts and place 1st ($500), 2nd ($300) or third
($100 and bag of banana chips).
Bonanni took a $500 cash win tonite.
This Z runs the JWT T.T. kit and puts out some mad numbers.

that car in street class? it looks like it hsould be in modified class at least.

kognition

The cars in street class are pretty quick, no room for weekenders. You'll get peed on real quick.

is there only a sponsership for the red line series or for other serries' as well?

Thank's guys, it was a group effort in which we played a small but critical part.
Last minute dyno work thank's to Jim Wolf, and Mark Brett. Corner scaled by Mark as well. We will be adding a few new things to the car in the next 2 months
to improve aero and reduce weight.
I was unable to get my car prepped in time. Priorities on the Z's this year. But def will be at the next one.

kognition

We are only sponsoring the Redline series this year. It is our first sponsored series.

ThatGuy

Looks awesome Mike. I can't wait to see what new stuff you come out with this year. Keep up the awesome work!

Thank you,
I am now starting to advance our composite panel production a bit to make them stronger and lighter. The track testing really helps us alot.

All of the 07' Redline events this year

Here is some in car footage during practice. It was raining all morning, and cleared up later in the day. Chris Rado again blew his motor up, closing the event down.

you guys are doing awesome!!! Congrats on the win maybe i will see you at some events......

Look for me in the black R33/red supra. The Supra is my buddies car, i may drive a couple of events with it:

kognition

Thank's you guys,
I will get a list of the mod's today. The series is going to heat up for sure, and the Hankook guys told me that this was the last Time Attack for the S15, so they are running a Z at the next event. And i think it will be tuned by XS. So i am going to drop at least another 150lb's off the car by the next event, anything we can do to make the car lighter basically. Heres a pic when the I.C. piping blew off and we were trying to get it back on before the next session.

you still ran OE glass rite ??? I know that spectre prelude got bumped because he was on hoosiers yet all stock everywhere else. WIll you bumping up in class to go against steve mitchell in the red 350z ??

Yup, OE glass.
Yes we will be putting this particular Z into the unlimited class. If we were able to to run unlimited Sunday, we might have placed 3rd. We were registered in unlimited and on Hoosiers, but Rado blew his car up on the very first hotlap. And the track people did not want to stay overtime to search for metal debris on the track etc. Even when the Redline guys offered more money so we could finish the final heat. But expect the Z competition to seriously heat up this Spring. Kognition has been pressed into action now! Mitchel's car looked pretty quick out there, but i saw a bunch of smoke when Yamada was driving it. The Axis car had some throttle issues, but i expect to see all of them more than prepared in April.

McRussellPants

didn't you guys blow up some sus linkr or something?

kognition

We had some IC Piping blow off. But thats all. Fixing it in the pic below.

locodrftr

congrats on the win, i know i got peed on.lol Your guys lap time was 1:18:464 My best was 1:38 something My poor white hatch didn't stand a chance. Being as its my first ever event it was soooo much fun.learned alot as well now im hooked. Oh and i feel bad for the rx8 that got totaled in practice he was the guy next to me in the pits someone should post pics of that.I may have held up traffic in the rain but i came out alive and so did my car. all in all a great event cant wait till the next one.

kognition

At least you did make it home in one piece. That guy wasn't so lucky. His front rotor snapped in half, among other things from the impact. The rain def made it interesting.

TurDz

Kognition, great job on the win and now you have even more credibility with your front splitter and aero parts!

Are you still developing parts for the 240sx chassis? or are all your efforts going onto the race season.

oh fucking shit

my friend tim blew up his S2k from oil starvation

silver s2k, mugen hardtop, volk wheels.

kognition

Well i still have my S14 Silvia, so i am keeping that as my fun car. It has more potential than any 350Z. But the parts i am making for it are not exactly what you would call street legal. It's probably going to look more like a JGTC car by the summer time. But to keep the mortgage paid, i am expanding a little bit with different parts. But mostly track only stuff. I have a small line of bling/vip , and will try to expand that some more this year also. My main focus at the moment is on the Z and weight reduction/ aerodynamics for track. We will be testing out
some undertray prototypes in the Spring to see if we can increase speed in the corners. I still have plans for S13 and S14 parts yes.

turtl631

Why do you say that? What limits the Zs in your opinion?
