Well I just got back from meeting with the Middle TN Z Club and some folks from a major automobile magazine. I took lots of pics and ask lots of questions. My digital camera is not the greatest but you will get the idea. I have stuff I would like to share but let me get the pics first. Go ahead and start asking questions. Some I may have to be unclear about!!!

 

Do you know the HP?

Is it less than 300?

 

There will be a magazine where there will be pictures of old Z's with the new Z. They used some of the MTZC cars and I was there. I have only been a member for 1 week and I have already been overwhelmed by joy! Hard numbers are embargoed. . . I have heard the numbers I was given on this forum recently. You may not be ecstatic . . . but the number is fine. There are always 2 numbers the other is nice as well.

 

Here is a teaser!

 

Post PICS ASAP!!

 

You rock man! That is the first non-NNA pic I have seen of the lemans. Very nice. Lets see the rest!

 

Wow!!!!!!!!!

Sweet pic VandyZ!!!!!!!!!

 

Should I post more or givem to JmanZ to post like the others.

 

Post them here now! You can give them to Jmanz later!

 

I think you should let Jay post them. When I sent in my first, he asked me not to post them all in a thread.

Maybe just one more here would be nice though

Also, can you change the thread title to be Le Mans pics, so everyone more easily knows where to go to comment on the outstanding pics?

 

Here is another. Driving to location.

 

How does the engine and exhaust sound? Is it similar to a Porsche like on that jp.z.com virtual Z? Did you get to drive it or ride in it? Lets hear some gossip!

 

Now that you have seen Le Mans, if Nissan gave you the option of changing from Silverstone, with no delay in receiving your car, would you change?

 

The engine sounded magnificent. It is more raspy than a Porsche, sounded better IMO. I did not drive (I think I could have but I was already too happy). I did go for a very very very spirited drive with the writer. The brembos are AWESOME.

 

Did anyone seem to have heartburn over you snapping pictures? Were others taking pictures too?

 

Congrats VandyZ! Sounds like you had a magnificent day! Can't wait to see the rest of the pics!

 

The color is sweet. I am a very big UT hater so Icould never get this color. I think it would get old quickly as well. But is is the best orange color I have ever seen on a car.

 

Damn you are so lucky! On this "spirited drive" did the car seem to pull pretty hard? I don't care so much about 0-60 times as much as how much it can push you back in the seat. Did he do any hard cornering (does he car seem to lean much through turns)??

Was this a 6-speed? Did the writer make any comments about opinions on how it drove? I hope this new 6-speed tranny is as precise and throws are similar to an S2000 or Porsche 996.

 

I wish I had video. It was a photo shoot as well so no one minded. There were no NISSAN people. If you remeber bbray's posts you will know I was in some COOL company (other than the car).

 

UT hater?? LOL When was the last time Vandy won a national football championship?? Just ribbing you man, don't take me serious. I was born in Knoxville at University Hospital. My mother, father, uncle, two brothers, and myself all went to UT. Family tradition you might say. Casey Clausen lives about 20 miles from my home here in California. I thought I was going to get to go to the Championship game again last year if it wasn't for LSU Oh well, we are all part of the Z fraternity now.
