From what i gather, the Dyno Day at Jotech was only open to GTRs. so don't let that scare the 350Zs away, i'm sure they still wouldn't mind some Z guys going to watch, but watching cars dyno is like watching paint dry as well, unless there are some heavily modded guys in there.

The cars and coffee would be fun as well, so i'll ask again:

What day do you think would be a best day for this?

This question is open ended for anyone to chime in, the one with the most responses is the one we will go with.

How about we all meet at some location and roll into the Cars & Coffee together around 11, we take a look see and then roll with the GT-Rs to Jotech at noon, we then finish up the cruise after we watch some paint dry.

Sounds like a fun day.

I asked at Jotech if I could dyno my 300ZXTT that day and he said bring it on. I am thinking he will want all the business he can get since I doubt too many GT-Rs will. Nissan states that it will void your warranty if you dyno your GT-R. I have a GT-R, but I already dyno'd it and won't again until I get more mods.

So Jotech has a dyno day (mainly for GT-Rs) the same day as cars & coffee? I plan on doing cars & coffee, but as far has meeting up can cruising there together....I don't know since I'll be coming from McKinney. I am interested in going to Jotech, but it's kind of out of the way for me. So the only thing I can probably promise is going to the cars & coffee thing that particular day.

I've been meaning to check out Jotech's new facility. I might be in for both, as long as my schedule is free.

ok cool... that sounds like a plan to me, after the dyno day i guess we could gauge the interest in a cruise... i'm willing to bet that alot of people wont want to but, i'll stay optimistic.

I really dont think that this long of a cruise would be AS enjoyable with 4 or less people...

The Plan

Arlington people meet at the Starbucks on 360 @ Mayfield around 9:30, Richardson people pick a spot. We roll out @ 10 to all meet up NLT 11 am @ Boardwalk Porsche on Plano parkway and then roll as a group into the meet @ Classic BMW on Spring Creek via the toll way access road.

Route from Porsche to BMW via access road

We check out the Cars & Coffee until the GT-Rs head out to JoTech. We just follow Kenny's GT-R to his shop.

As far as cruise after the Dyno event. All I can say is one of the best cruises I ever went on was just two of us playing fox and hound. It was over a hundred miles of pure adrenaline!

I'm going but my car is filthy (rare). I don't have time to wash it....don't even know if I want to park it inside the meet or not.

I counted more GTRs there than 350z's as usual.

There were 12 GTRs there today.

Not sure what you saw but I had a great time... The event after at Jotech was also well worth the gas. Jotech's new shop is the bomb.
