Remember that Silverstone Z at the autocross?

I've got a CD coming my way with video of that Z at the event. Sender is dropping it in the mail tomorrow and says that it is "really impressive" tearing it's way around the track.

Now, I have neither the bandwidth nor the equipment with my POS comp at home to stream and upload this video if it's even worth watching, but perhaps SkiDazzle (Michael) could lend a hand to a local Frisco boy when it comes in.

I will however make screenshots and upload those as soon as I get it in the next couple of days.

Any word from your sources on how it stacked up to the competition?

Wanna meet for a beer while my laptop burns a copy?

Guys, as soon as I see it, I'll let everyone know. Here's what my source from another enthusiast board had to say via e-mail about a month ago...

Quote:

I figure you of all people would enjoy this.

I saw a pre production 350Z race. It was a guy from a car magazine. Him and his wife were flogging it around the track. I got it on video doing a few runs. Very nice. He was pleasantly surprised at how little understeer it had. It was very balanced. But I noticed it had RE040s. The ones that the S4s were bubbling...

But alas, I was asked to not post it on the net. They know that the PR people at Nissan would not be happy. But I'm sure it wouldn't hurt to send it to a choice few.

I can't find those goddamned pics from the event itself. Looks like they've moved or were taken down over at freshalloy.com.
