GREAT REVIEW - makes me want to go out and buy one - OH YEAH!!!! I already have!!!!! Shows that we "pre-orderers" are ahead of the pack - by a long shot.

Default no speedchannel here :(

Can someone ( I hope) provide a link to download it if anyone recorded it. I would love to see it but no speedvision. Better yet, if you have it on tape, can you make me a copy?

Willing to reimburse for shipping and cost of a tape or course!

The guy in the SL55 AMG looks like he had some cheap-o "The Fast and the Furious" labeled sunglasses. Anyone else see that?

That makes the wait even more difficult.

I have got to agree with ya VQ...the rear wheels spinning...great stuff.

Now, just waiting on mine to get here.

Did you notice the Z had better breaking and better slalom speed than the SL55, just FYI.

Oh my god, was that Silverstone?

That kind of looked like it was 1/2 Chrome Silver stock Nissan footage and 1/2 Silverstone test car footage! Nice!

I just keep rewinding and watching the performance tests over & over.

The Z looks fo freaking mean from the side leaning over through the slalom!

I feel like a freaking genius for having ordered this car!

Must calm down and get sleep. Need more beer.

I'm so happy with it being one of the 6,000 and being 100,000 grand less and beating that mercedes in handleing and braking, thats just awsome. The interior comment suprised me.


I think that the HID xenon headlights looked awsome too.

Totally lve the car and can't wait for it.

Well for those people bitching about the Z's curb weight, the SL55 weighs 4300 lbs, so it's like a Z and a 1/3. (Oh well it costs like 5 X the price of the Z and it has like 2X the torque)

I then tried something that until now I was always not a big fan of but it works great so why not!

Real Audio Video.

If you don't have Real Player on your system (you should, most systems come with it), kick it over to www.real.com and get it. There is a free version.

Much of the start of this video is from the same dvd that Nissan sent our before with their press kit, that I posted in thread:

https://my350z.com/forum/showthread....&highlight=dvd

Most of you have no doubt seen these clips, if not... kick it over to that last thread, it's some good stuff!

Okay, now on to the Motor Trend review....

https://my350z.com/motor-trend.rm

This is NOT a streaming file, but it migth stream... haha, no clue with Real Audio/Video files so try if you like, or just right mouse click and save to your desktop.

The file is 17.45 megs in size and runs about 7 minutes long or so.
Way to go J.! I missed it last night. But JMANZ to the rescue!
