Default Grand Am GSII 350Z TV debut in Daytona!!

Just saw Dwnshft's GSII classed 350Z on Speed Channel!

That car looked SWEET.

Love that Nismo wing.

BJZ,

It looked like the rear suspension was broken are about to break in the shoots of the car running! Car looked great and the announcers were very high on the car.

I saw it too. And a shot of BJ in pits couple minutes before car announcement. Well, mostly his famous now helmet ;-)

God, Z looked GREAT on the track. So Firm ride and so cool exterior. I wish they show it passing other cars... But it was only one slower IS300 in the frame.

I thought something wrong with rear left wheel too. It looked like huge negative camber on it.

Can somebody made a video? I have a digital recording on my dishbox, but there is no (easy) way for me to convert it to computer

Z rules!

On my second lap out something in the rear suspesnion started to "let go". I radioed in to the pits and we talked about it what was going on back there. We decided it would be better to stay out and see if we could go the distance that to pit. We took a chance but it finally let go with 9 laps to go. The crew was able to make the repair (this crew is awsome) and get us back out for the final three laps.
IT was looking like we would finish in the top ten and maybe as high as 5th. WE didnt need to make another fuel stop.
With the problem on the rear suspension I had to slow down but time on the track in endurance racing is better than in the pits.
We will be ready for Homestead, hopefully with some more power.
