I was also disappointed with the film itself, although I did enjoy all the additional material about the making of, and the unedited takes, especially the ones with showing the driver's feet and the shifter. But I wish they had included the take from the camera they mounted above the tail of the car. That rig looked incredible. The driver said the car handled well even with 300 pounds hanging five feet off the back of it.

But my problem with the finished film is that, as DriveI65 said, the driver seems to be coasting a lot of the time. Okay, I'm not a professional driver, and he had to deal with the cobblestones and the trolley tracks, which obviously affect grip. But listening to the soundtrack, the run doesn't sound all that impressive. A lot of the time, it just doesn't sound as if he's going as fast as he could.

Although Prague is a beautiful city, I think I would have found a few laps around Road America, Laguna Seca, Watkins Glen and a few other nice road courses to be a lot more interesting and impressive. He could have really opened it up, with great engine growling and brake squealing.

Dwnshft: have you got any good in-car video for us?

 

I got it in the mail as well. I now have 3 copies.

 

recieved mine last week ...one day before the one I bought on eBay for 10 bucks

 

My copy finally came in - I guess that error on my window sticker wasn't so bad afterall.

 

I got my copy in the mail yesterday, its not as impressive as I thought it would be on my TV. However, its still pretty good.

 

Got mine yesterday as well. Very cool video. Wonder it they had any close calls with cars, people or buildings while driving. Can just imagine doing somthing like that in Los Angeles

 

finally got mine as well. But I already bought one from Courtesy when it first came out.

 

Gray matter:.. Go through the Run throughly.. and there is commentary about what security was used and carefully placed actors and stunt people spread all over.. really very interesting..

 

Do most Nissan dealerships have copies of this DVD?

 

It won't play on my DVD player or my computer Now what?

 

I ordered some parts from this guys and they sent me a *free*!!! copy of "The Run". I loved the thing. The sound is pretty good, I sat in front of my TV and with the sorround system It was just like beeing inside my own car. Great, thanks courtesy.

 

I actually took over my pre-order from another guy, so I didn't think I would get a "Run" DVD, and I bought it myself for $10 on the web. Sure enough, a month later Nissan sent me a copy. Oh well.

Love the DVD- wish I could take my Z to Prague....
