Default Another LS1 guy

Just saying hi, new to the board, for all you old timers from the LS1 boards, whaz up.

Havent raced a 350Z in the SS yet, but had a chance in my 520i here in Turkey. Well the obvious result of that one was I got smoked. But heck, the view of the rear end was well worth it.

Ýve test driven the car a few times, you guys have a great little car there, Ým a bit on the heavy side so I got some problems with that driver side door sill, but in my opinion the car is just plain horny on wheels.

Because of my job Ý get to see alot of development pre-release for all the automotýve manufacturers. You guys can expect a mýd to hýgh 300 hp turbo version in the near future... hýnt hýnt.

Nissan has been under new management and the goal is to replace or refresh models as often as possýble to give Nýssan a marketing edge, that my friends is good news for all auto enthusýats.

Cheers and hopefully we'll get to rabble on with you guys some more.

Welcome to the board. I bet your Camaro is more rare than Z's over there, right? I would imagine so, but it would purely be conjecture.

Hopefully in the next couple of weeks we hear more about these Nismo offerings from US Nissan dealers

Yup, there are z few z28s here and there, Ive seen at least a dozen dýfferent 350Zs, but no SSs. The truth ýs however, my SS ýs parked ýn my garage ýn Canada, I dýdnt bother brýngýng ýt over, I lýke my car too much to subject ýt to that kýnd of torture. We have some great hýghways ýn Turkey. There ýs a pay road connectýng Izmýr to Cesme (Look at a map) all scenýc 3 lane hýghway... empty all the týme, ýt has bends curves, and a 30 km sectýon that ýs straýght as an arrow. In the 520ý I drove at top speed about 225km/hr at redlýne for 10 mýnutes before I even had to thýnk about brakýng, ýn a sports car ýts nýrvana Im sure. Its off the hýghway where the roads suck. There are potholes býgger than my týres here. Gettýng parts for Amerýcan cars ýsnt the easýest here, especýally cars that they dont make anymore.

Cheers
