Default More pics added of my black Track Model!

Someone asked on another thread of my size. I am 6'2" tall and about 235-240. The car fits perfect. I sit one click up from all the way back on the slider, and I sit fairly upright. I needed to make sure I have enough headroom for a helmet and there is plenty. Only complaint: rearview mirror is useless, but it doesn't really matter as all other visability is excellent.

Car has plenty of room for me and my helmet as someone asked me.

I want to add that the chassis is the stiffest of any car I have ever driven. I also have a 2002 I35 and the Z is so much stiffer. I am not talking about the suspension. I am talking about the car itself. No flex, no noises, no creaks, no groans, no nothing!! Not even over pockmarked roads.

Wind noise is also well controlled. Hard to hear it actually. Even with the windowns both down, there is not really even a draft in the cabin. One thing about the low wind noise is that you notice the engine groan that makes it through the firewall more. The exhaust sounds great, the engine is very agricultural. Keep the window down!

Pushed her hard enough to have the VDC Slip light come on. Punched it a little after making a U turn and saw the light, but didn't really feel much.

Took it back to the dealer so they could take pictures for the local paper (first person to get one locally) and again the entire dealership was outside. It was mobbed by bystanders as well. Being the nice guy that I am I let a few people sit in it.

That's all I have to add for now, I'll keep you guys posted. 500 miles and i'll consider it broken in. Screw what Nissan says!!
