That thing is gorgeous and it RIPS!!
My butt Dyno was going nuts it seems to really pull compared to the HR motors...
Interiour FEEL is awesome, and it is Girthy let me tell you.
This sucker is WIDE

Can't wait til I get mine for the start of the season!!!
I will be giving rides, and letting people drive it for sure!!

Rob-its on for autocrossing next year!!
:*(

Yea now I"m wishing I woulda waiting till now to buy the car cuz I can get an 07 with a bit more mileage for the same price I paid for my 05 earlier this year. blah.

I totally want to drive the 370z ( maybe even co-drive it ) but I wouldn't have been able to afford a brand new car anyways.

Oh IT'S ON LIKE DONKEY KONG!! I'm actually gonna try to compete for points. So if anybody has an aftermarket front swaybar for sale, lemme know!! Or a set a RE-01R's in 265/35/18

Lucky Dog! I'm working just 1 mile East from Nissan on 12 mile. I've been watching the streets for a proto 370Z. I haven't seen a thing yet.

If you happen to see a red ZR with plates that say "Phreak" that's me.

But just cuz i'm curious, which HKS setup do you have again? And how many miles on it?
And I'm pretty sure you don't drive the Z in the snow so no rust on the parts?

Hpro - Where's "tri-cities"?

I hate snow.....Took the insurance off the Z last week. :*(
The tri-cities are "bay city, midland, and saginaw"

Hey guys, I'm new around here (the forum) and I'm just saying hi to people in the area. I just got my Z in August and I love it, it's a stock superblack 03. I'm garaging it this week, it sucks but it's better then the alternative. Well, I figured I'd just introduce myself, I look forward to seeing you guys on the road.

Welcome to Michigan. Today is the first day of "White Hell" where fellow board members start to hibernate until Spring.

Yea, it sucks that I didn't have enough time to get acquainted with the car before "White Hell" (haha). This is my car, I don't have any other decent pics but it's just stock so it's nothing you haven't seen before.

And in case you're wondering, that spoiler is not attached to my car, my friends STI is behind mine.

I love the Black Z. It's an amazing choice. Yeah, at first I was going to ask why you selected an STI/Evo'esque wing on the car. I guess I should read first.

Welcome to the forum! Plan on doing any tracking? Quite a few of us are track junkies (AznSky, thekinn, JohnnyBoy, and myself).

Thanks for the welcome. I'd love to get out on the track. Where do you guys go? BTW I forgot to mention earlier that I live in Berkley.

We go all over and we are all pretty spread out. Nice pics of the car. Hope you will join some of us at the track next season!

AJ - WTF is up with Nissan Dropping out of the Autoshow????????? Not only are they not coming to detroit, but they are not going to Chicago either. I dont know if I want to go anymore. I was really hoping to check out the 370z.

Everyone is dropping out, including Rolse Royce, Ferrari, and Porsche. (I know i didnt spell some of those right.

Let's go for a track day on April 25, 2009 (Saturday)! 3BallsRacing is running at Gingerman Raceway in South Haven, MI and the cost for entry is only $165. Get this on your calendars and we can make a strong Z showing.

Hmmm......2 hr drive.....I might as well stay the night at my uncle's place in Grand Rapids. I'll be considering this.

Plus I'm sure anybody else would be able to crash there too if I decide to go.

Nice car ARES Berkley huh another East sider, great!!

Johnny I was a bit upset on that but think about it, they unveiled all the cars at LA what the hell is the point in spending the millions on marketing and allthe crap for no reason. Also Jaguar, Land Rover, and ASton MArtin have pulled out of the Detroit show as well. I am for sure not going there will be no-one there....

I will be tracking the 370 a bunch next year for sure, doubt I will drive all the way over to the West side for it though.

I am definitely going to have to try and keep that day open. Went to that track earlier this year and it was a blast. Its a great track for beginners like me, because there are no walls to hit, only grass if you run off.

Rob, I also have some family in grand rapids. Maybe we can caravan over there on friday night, race saturday, come home sunday.
