Took my new block and all the parts up to the shop today. 6-8 weeks before it will be done.

I can't wait to reassemble the Z, it's in pieces all over the garage!

Ditto on the wash followed by rain...

I'm pissed I had to miss the ZDayZ Dragon run. Was it fairly trooper free? Wish I could have seen all those Z's tearing it up.

I did get to drive the Nurburging Nordschleiffe last weekend though (in the rental BMW 3 series w/ 2.0 liter, no *****, good suspension). Lots of wicked cars there... 2 Diablos, Gallardo, Porsche GT3's, STi's, you name it, but there was only 1 Z!. I actually only saw 2 Z's the whole time in Germany. My German co-worker said they aren't very prestigious! One of the Z's I saw had something to say about that: a smokey burnout right in front of the Porsche museum in Stuttgart. HA! Seriously though, if you're ever in Europe you should definitely make a stop in Deutschland to drive "The Ring" no matter what your wife/girlfriend says. Only 80 euros for 6 laps!

There was a massive biker parade and show and wet t-shirt contest on Saturday so there we large amounts of state troopers more than the Dragon has seen in years they said.
There were even two fatal accidents that weekend as well one that was even a off duty state cop, he drove off the road down the mountain on his bike.

Bob,

How was Friday night in Birmingham ? Saw you car pass by around 9PM. Was jut behind you at a light. I did not bother honking as I was not driving the Z.
What makes that exhaust sound like that? is it the test pipes ? are they resonated ?

Will do! I'll post every SCCA event that will be coming up and the ones that I'll be attending!

They are so much fun and you really should come test your car out!!! Its just amazing!

Hey Martin! you should have said hi!! If you saw me in DT Birmingham then I was probably being annoying

it was just funny to see the reaction of all the little scene kiddies scare at the car once they heard it lol ... But next time wave me down! I'm a really talkative person and wouldnt mind just hangin out! Me and few people went down there to see that new adam sandler movie which was hillarious! Let me know if you wanna meet up on Woodward sometime during the weekends!

I know this Friday around 8 - 9 pm ill be on woodward -> Redline at 11mile and inkster... then back to Woodward im sure before I head home... lots of cool cars to see and people to hang out with

Redline meets... here goes...
Talk on Xceed if you wanna talk to local Michigan car drivers... ranges from domestics... imports... drag racing... SCCA racing... tech stuff... bling bling stuff... lounge talkin... and even local street scenes... http://www.xceedspeed.com/forums/

and all the people on here meet up every friday at Redline... Redline motorsports host this thing always...

its at 11 mile and Inkster... near southfield area... close too woodward / birmingham!

it starts from anywhere like 7pm - 9pm... I'd recommend around 8 - 9pm... people start to pill in... the first time this year there was like 60 cars... then the second time like around 100+ it was insane... ive been there when its been like 20 cars ... all the way to the big stuff! just depends on the people and whether people come or not!

Its always nice to see some of the cars... they range there... from cheap crappy... to even a few lambo gallando's or what not showed up last year... its a lot of fun! I'll be at every redline meet pretty much always... unless im outta town....

this friday for sure... it looks pretty pop'n cuz its nice weather!!
