FrankieZZ,
Thanks
All cars in Saudi are left hand drive. This one is a Middle East model or very close to a European model, so I was told by Nissan Saudi Arabia.
On the air condition I don’t think that any A/C can make it in the summer down here. It gets to 50C, however, for now the weather is ok, it gets around 30C in mid day, and down to around 20C at night.
Take care,
Az
See you @ 350zuk.com

I don't think you have a chance.....
I own both Porsche and Z. Although the Z is an outstanding car for the price. Take a look at GT racing. No one can beat the porsches. My life has been completely devoted to Porsche for over 25 years now. I have bought both new and used and the Z is just now in the territory of the late '80's early 90's Porsches. Laying a suposed 0-60 in 5.3.
You may have a chance if you are an extrodinary driver, most of the time this is what it boils down to, but to go head to head, you will lose your shorts.
I love my Z, its and incredible car, but as they say about Porsche, "There is no Substitute". If you have never driven one, take your Z to a Porsche dealership and give a Porsche at least a test drive so you can feel what I am talking about. A Porsche is a whole different breed of car and they drive like no other car.
Good luck, Roadkill

The Z being in the late 80's early 90's territory of the porsche is an awesome thing for a mass produced sports car with it's price tag. Don't get me wrong though, our beloved Porsche's are in it's own class but we're toying with road/ track races here.
Someone on this forum mentioned about two modded Z's finishing 2nd and 3rd in the Grand Am cup right behind a 996? The Z's were ahead of other 911's and M3's? Correct me if I'm wrong but if our buddy aalzuhair does a good amount of modifications he'll level the playing field with the best of them. He can achieve this without even getting near the stock price of most of those porsches.
I'm all for it and wish him the best of luck.

Don't get me wrong here, I too am for crushing a Porsche with a Z, I own one remember. I wouldnt have bought if it weren't for the incredible specs. and the price tag. Not to mention its beauty.
Hats off to aalzuhair, incredible job but next time, take it.
P.S. - I still love my Porsches and nothing anyone can say can take that from me.
Take care and stay stiff!

one is a purpose built sports car the other is a mass produced sports car derived from shared components from SUVs and family sedans. but these days other than the GT3s, RS versions... 911s are becoming 'fat'.
YMMV.
