They will have some sort of a road course and they want me to take on the 911 Carrera!!!! So what do you guys think? Is it possible?

I will post picture and videos later

I don't know about on a real open track, but I have clearly beat a 2002 Carrera on the AutoX course around here. It was my 4th race ever and I think the Carrera driver was a novice as well. Not sure what would happen on a real race track. Sounds like the opportunity of a lifetime.

Look at it this way. If you get your a$$ kicked, you can always fall back on the fact that you have a Nissan and they have Porsche's. If you beat some of them then you can cram it down their throat and tell them they should have spent that extra $40 Grand on driving lessons!

It must really bother some of these Porche owners to have spent so much money on their cars and have to worry about a 350Z beating them on the track.

The Top Five are as follows:

1- 911 Turbo (AWD) with a lot of mods, they say it has 560hp
2- 911 GT2 (RWD)
3- Old 911 (RWD) #32 in the pic
4- I have no clue
5- 911 Turbo (AWD)

And yes no helmets, don't ask why

Nice. Glad you represented for us. And you did it without the wish list. Imagine if you did have the wish list. Cant wait for video and pic of a super black coming around the corner. That will make a nice wallpaper.

Looks like a road rally... TONS of fun.

Which has to happen as if I'm correct is there even a true "track" anywhere near you????

Can't wait to see pics of the Z in action... CERTAINLY will be a new background!!!

Good job!

Az,


Nice pics ! Great looking Zed ! Just curious , how well does the air conditioning work on your Kuro Black Zed in that climate? I also noticed that you have left hand drive . Is it a US model , and not European ? Cheers !
