Damn man, you got your car pretty quick. When I shipped mine from Cali it took almost 3 weeks. Enjoy it here.

With 100 Octane and Moist air - a early morning run..

The BlackTT should just leap off the line..

Cheers Amy -

P.S. went to the GroupZ meeting at Fudruckers,
and a Japanese Magazine Photographer and Reporter
took pictures of Tony's Wld350Z Greedy TT
Even took photo's of my Car with the Los Angeles County seals
on the door.
They asked me if I knew the meaning of my yellow/orange teardrop. Wakarimas !
Caution elderly driver...

I know you're happy to see your car arrive safely, Sharif. A couple of things....

1.
Yeah, the car seems to pull exceptionally strong, especially in the morning and late at night. The air is soooo freaken thick with moisture....I love it!
True, but the heat is absolutely brutal on performance. I notice a definitive power drop on 90+ degree days during the afternoon on my Vorteched Z.

2.
and.......it gets even better! Are you ready for this one????? I used to pay $6/gallon for this stuff in LA!!!
Yeah, this stuff is great... but wait, there's more! I'll find out where Randy (from Carolina Z Club) gets his 118 Octane. He has a 300ZXTT that puts about 650hp to the ground... .runs two tanks... one with 93 and one with 118... adjustable boost up to something like 26lbs... it's a beast!

3. Clubs... Carolina Z Club is the local Z-car group. Pretty fun bunch of guys. We've also got an informal enthusiasts club that meets at Cosentino Hi-Lines for drives every now and then. Triangle Z Club is another Z Club up toward Raleigh, they do a lot of track events. Check out their site (link posted in an earlier reply) for a schedule. I'll fill you in more this weekend.

4. My Cellphone is about dead! Forgot to recharge. I'll call you and give you another number to reach me until I can get it juiced back up.

Hmm... I can almost see Cosentino Hi-Lines in those pics...
