first of all wanted to let everyone know that I saw the 350z in person at Gerland Nissan, and all i can say is WOW!!! to me it looked 10x better than the one at the auto show!!!

Now I also have some disturbing information for the owner of the car. First of all I am really sorry if I make u angry with this info, but I think you have the right to know. While I was at the dealership everyone was nice. But there is a young polish guy that works there and since he realized that i'm polish, while we were outside and I was getting my 300zx appraized he started bragging to me in polish that the car is a rocket and he was burning tires with it in the parking lot when it came in. I'm not sure if he was just trying to impress me with lies since he saw that I'm young or if he was being really serious. Inside the dealership they did take great care of it though. Just thought of it now I should have checked the tires to see if they were abused. Sorry for the news and I hope it was a lie.

I also ran into flyzmd80 and his wonderfull wife at the dealership and we were both staring at your car for about 2 hours. It was a pleasure meeting both of them plus he looked like an awesome future Z owner!!!

Good luck all and hope we cruize all of ours ZZZZZZZ's toghether down the road one day.

Luke4me1st it was a pleasure to meet you as well. My wife's first impression of the car was that it looked much more expensive than its sticker price. Having only seen the auto show car I was glad to see that the fit and finish was very good and that the Chrome Silver is all I hoped it would be. I hope you can get your red 350Z as soon as possible.

I've been keeping a list, and I count 14 posters from Chicago land. What is up with the Mechanics showing at Gerlald in Naperville this Sunday?

I gotta see one of the real production versions!

Default I screwed up

Ok guy's.

I F'ed up big time. I had posted earlier in the week that on Aug 25th Gerald Nissan of Naperville was going to have a Z for training purposes. This information was given to me by my salesman.

As it turns out, this training took place on Monday. I didn't find out until lastnight when i went to see the KYO Z at the dealership.(it was a customer car).

Sorry EnthuZ, PerfectFrank , and others who originally read my post. I was so damn excited that one was coming that i forgot to check other sources.

Dan

Not your fault man. Thanks for updating us.

I just received a phone call from my dealership. I could have my car as early as tonight. The car is somewhere in Naperville and it's waiting to ship to the dealer. I can't wait for that next phone call "It's here, when are you coming to pick it up?"

I posted a long review of the Gerald Car from last night, so for the sake of repeating myself just go find it.

But here are the photo's I took of the Z last night, the owner let me sit it her. Ooooo.

Now the next question is, who's next?

Ciao,
MichaelU

PS> The salesmen said last night that it looks like the Chicagoland Z's are running a couple days ahead of scheduele.
