Sorry Aaron and Andrew. You both called me today and I did not have a chance to get back to you. I had a long day at work and just got word that they accepted the offer we put in on the house. I will not be making it for HIN but I will be back in a month or so to get the rest of my stuff. And next year I will come up for some events.
HOLY CRAP 173 MPH FTW!!!! I bet the APS could do 180 ;-)

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
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

Question for everyone... Why haven't we created a compilation video of all our vehicles yet?
My next purchase is a good video camera since i have a sweet Mac and all the software to make a video, just not the camera! I'm excited for Saturday night! Who is all going?

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...
From this:

To this:

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.

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.
