Default My Z came in early!

Holy crap. A buddy of mine just got a brand new 07 G35 Coupe 6MT and was on his way over to give me a ride and to check it out when I get a call from the Nissan Dealer. They said my car showed up a week early. What luck, so I told my friend, your drivin me to the dealer.

Told them to just peel the plastic off and I'll be right up. 2 Hours later I was rollin in the new ride. It is so hard to keep it under 4K, this think just want to go and is still peppy even below 4K. I love the color too. The San Marino is gorgeous in the sunlight and looks black in the evening and night. Oh, its an 07 SMB enthusiast 6mt. Was a little rusty on the stick but I put 200 miles on her this weekend and broke myself back into the swing. The clutch feels great, very smooth and not to stiff, catches about half way up the travel.

The ride is much smoother than anticpated, I figured it would be alot rougher and am very pleased. In fact, it seems smoother than the G35, I'm sure due to his 19 inch low pro wheels and sport tuned suspension. The Z definitley feels faster but won't know till after break-in and get em to the track.

I plan on detailing her this weekend, Just rinsed her off and gave her a thin coat of Zaino Z8 for these shots.

Without further ado:
