Who is the primary driver for the 370?

 

If you were one of the guys getting hawked down at Road ATL by the 370Z this past weekend, you can think Russell Floyd for the flyby.

 

Nope not me. One day soon................I'm still calling Jon every other day having to order new parts.

 

Thanks for the orders. We hope to see you soon on the track.

Great job Z1! Being a proud owner of a 07 Nismo myself, all the Z1 videos and threads put smile on my face! Z1 FTW!

 

Thanks for your feedback.

"Doing some testing on the #07 this weekend with Brian Kleeman behind the wheel and the Z1 Motorsports, Inc. crew helping with the prep. The car is running strong and ready for the race at Road America this coming weekend. We appreciate all the ZdayZ love the team has been getting, please cheer us on as we hope to get up to the front of the GTS pack and put a Z car on the podium"!

Another Win!

The weekend was successful taking into consideration the complications we had going into the Championship race on Sunday. The Dyno being used to ensure specifications were met was in question. The numbers from the Dyno proved themselves to be inconclusive on a number of cars but understandably, under the circumstances, NASA decided that they had no other option but to use the data as a deciding factor.

As the team prepped the car, Brain Kleeman geared up and prepared himself to drive the wheels off the underpowered Nismo. The race starts with Kleeman qualifying in the front of the pack for the standing start diving into turn one next to Jay Pellegrini lll. Some laps into it and there was some diff failure causing one of the rears to lock up going into turn 1, Kleeman steered the car away from the wall and worked his way back on the track. Now in 6th position, Kleeman knew he would have to crank the skill level to 110%. Lap after lap the Nismo came screaming down the front straight gaining positions as he charged to the front, but it was not going to be enough as Pellegrini was all by himself, in front, with fresh air and one thing on his mind. With not enough laps left in this race the outcome was clear. A yellow flag came out of nowhere with Kleeman now in 3rd everyone picked the heads up. The fight to the front was not over. The race announcer was clearly confused when he broke dreams by giving the news that the next time by will be the checkered under yellow. As they peaked around the last turn and down the front strait the white flag waves to our amazement and the sound of VQ's fills the air and shakes the ground. The race announcer yells, "They are going one more time" as they enter turn one. With disbelief and excitement we await the last lap, hoping for the best as we see Pellegrini still in front and Kleeman pushing right behind him coming into the last turn. Gaining another position on the last lap Kleeman finishes in 2nd.

With two 1st place finishes and one 2nd place over the race weekend we could be nothing but happy with the results and it could not be done without Brain Kleeman, the Z1 Motorsports team and most importantly our customers.

 

"underpowered Nismo" ????????
How can that be? The HR engines in SpecZ have more power than everyone else!!!!!
Was there some issue with the car?

 

When we dyno'd the car before the race on Sunday, it read over the limit by 4 HP (279) so we pulled 7 degrees of timing out and dyno'd again at which point it read 3 more HP over (282) at which point I think Jon detuned it even more.

After the race we dyno'd for tech and it read about 262. Frustrating to say the least.

 

Crazy!!!!! Talked with one of the guys (Phil) who was there racing Spec Z and he explained the whole thing to me.
Well, congrats anyway
Sounds like the event otherwise went really well.

 

Man, that car is B-E-AUTIFUL! I have to be honest to say Jay's car was my favorite Spec Z, but now #23 is my favorite. Good job on the race, even for being at a disadvantage.

 

Thanks, and it was a good weekend.

 

Thanks, We do it for the fans and customers.
