Default August Issue of Car and Driver Magazine

Hey Guys,

Make sure you pick up a copy of the August issue of Car and Driver Magazine. They have a 6 page feature story on our Nissan 350Z that we run in Koni Challenge. Very cool article. Should be a good read.

FYI. We'll be racing at Watkins Glen this weekend, and Barber two weeks after that.

Good luck Rich. I hope the new Nismo Z bodywork makes a difference.

What we've gone through is what ever racer goes through. You just don't hear about it. We're working through the issues. We've solved nearly all the problems, including the power. We'll see how we fair the next couple races.

I read the article and it was very good. I know racing is expensive but had no idea that even the smaller forms of racing runs that high. I live by Mid Ohio and I go to alot of American LeMans races and Superbike races and when they had it the USGP I always went to Indy. I guess its a rich mans sport out of reach for the common man. I wish you all the luck racing this year.

The same issue also has a comparo and ranks the GT-R above the ZO6, the Viper SRT10-ACR, and the 911 GT2.

Its too bad they had so much trouble with the 350z, but it is kinda cool that Nissan gave it to them for free instead of crushing it.
