I suggest that your test driver drive a stock 350Z and the Stillen Z back to back. That should make for a good comparison.

Default OK--Good point

Sport Z writer/racer David Muramoto has already raced his 350Z Red Track on several occasions including the last two events in CA.

We've got it covered.

Robert,

Just wanted to say I love the magazine. Got my first new issue the other day it was very well done. I had already ordered some back issues and was very impressed with the coverage of both the 350Z as well as the original 240Z-280Z. I hope you continue to follow the racing 350Z's from Dwnshift & Jeff in GA Cup and TC Klines T2 car. I would like to see a full test of the NISMO suspension kit vs. a standard 350Z suspension. I am considering this my first mod.

Regards, Mark

Sport Z magazine should hire me to do some articles. I am pretty good at getting out of my own way on a racetrack!

Thanks Mark, you're comments mean a lot to all of us at Sport Z.

With limited resourses, it is unlikely that we will have the opportunity to do a Nismo supension evaluation unless some of my good buddies here in Colorado spring for the mod. If one of them does [hint, hint], we would be happy to borrow their ride for a few hours and put their name in print for all to see. Stardom awaits!

Spoke to David today and he told me how badly he smoked you in California. Something about that raceboy being out of his league with his under-powered 350Z.

I remember him saying that you can't race any better than you write; could that be right? Now I don't want to start any trouble here but, if what he's telling me is a fabrication, I'd OK Corral 'em at dawn.

Now, if I misunderstood David a bit, we should talk. I'm a reasonable guy and I've been known to look past first impressions and offer an opportunity to a fallen gladiator with spunk and commitment.

Oh yeah, when you say "hire" do you mean there would be money involved?

Ain't this fun?

On a more serious note, please email me at publisher@sportzmagazine.com and we'll see if we can make this work.

I love this Z stuff.

Bob

dkmura and I went back-and-forth today with each others VM so I couldn't confront him with your stated 2.426 second degree of separation. In one returned message he mentioned that he was in the garage working on his car; could he be doing the S-Tune thang or possibly hiding from the new dawn?

Just a thought!
