Alberto's run was crazy.... you can clearly see that with boost, these cars do not run out of steam. That pulled HARD all the way. I am very impressed


as far as my APS equipped car pulling 180.....well my car has gone beyond 160 with about 1500-1800 rpms left. I would think it is doable, but plenty doable in Alberto's car as well

Hello guys. Well, since I just joined the forum I thought a formal introduction will be the right thing to do. First off, My name is Xiong Yang and I'm from St. Paul, MN. There are two reasons I joined the forum:

1. I just picked up a 2003 Pearl White 350Z back in Feburary.

2. A fellow Z driver that was in a very nice Blue Z with chrome/sliver rims just met me tonight on my way home on the road from the usual cruize at Uni and told me about the site, thus, as soon as I got home I just have to see what the site offers.

Anyways, I'm still getting use to the Z and since it is a new car I'm practically clueless about the car itself. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone and hope I'll gain valuable knowledge from each and everyone of you.

Just so you guys get a sense of where I come from or my background...lets just say...I ditch the AWD to RWD Yet, I'm still getting use to the RWD...

To this:

Name:  350z.jpg
Views: 21
Size:  12.3 KB

Sorry about the poor quality cell phone pic. The picture of the Z was taken on the drive back from Chicago the day I purchase it.

Well, I'm looking forward to meet all you local fellow Z owners.

Hey buddy! You must have met Travis last night on UNI, he called me and wanted me to come down but my car is in HIN so i didn't come haha. Anyways, glad to see a fellow Z owner joining the forum! If you want, stop by HIN tonight and introduce yourself, a bunch of us will be over by the Boost Crew booth. Congrats and welcome!

Welcome to the Z world. Should have bought my sweet Z.... You wouldn't have to drive so far, and my PPW is the cleanest around.

Right before leaving town Friday for Duluth to get my new lower control arms and endlinks installed with alignment and a new key/keyfob getting programmed, my power steering decides to blow up on me...

Had to get it down to Duluth on a flatbed, and scraped my lip when unloading it I'm f*ckin pissed.

Should be done Monday-Thursday.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys.

Andrew350z: Yes, now that you've mention it, I did remember Travis was his name. Great guy.

SmoothZ: If I were only to know sooner that you were selling yours. I bought mine at pretty the same asking price as yours...minus the wheels/mods...guess I loss my chance. Anyways, gl on selling your car. Definitely a sweet ride.

Now he isnt... I stuffed a dead fish somewhere in his car, so no matter how much someone wants his car, they'll never buy it because it smells so bad.
