I talked w/ the owner Shad about Z experience the first time I met him (about a year ago). I know for a fact that he's S/C'd at least one at that time.

Honestly tho, If Shad can do this:
"After 3 seasons of domination the team headed to open-wheel racing in the CART series where Shad became the youngest Chief Mechanic ever"

and this:

"in 1997 was named Chief Mechanic of the Year while heading the Carl Hogan team with rookie driver Dario Franchitti."

then he'd have no problem handling your Z.

The following article from Modified Magazine (the new Sport Compact Car mag) showcases one of Driving Ambition's coolest creations. It also gives a little history on how this relatively new shop came to be:

BTW... the reason I'm beating the Driving Ambition drum has nothing to do w/ being some kinda fanboi. My reasons are mostly selfish as I want to see this shop flourish so I can take advantage of this resource we have in our own backyards. Those of u that know me personally know my love for driving and my dreams go beyond winning local AutoX classes.

(I had the bottom part of the front, side, and back bumpers painted the same color with the car, the original is black)


This is my FX35 that I Sold..

The car drives almost like the 350z. The exhaust system is exactly like it. Just bigger. I like it, but couple things that I didnt, the trunk space (very small) and you are lucky to get 19/20 mpg average (City and Highway).

The power is there, pretty quick for an SUV, pulling very strong.

You're right.. I dont really see many nice rims for Mercedes. Most of them are chrome. ( I dont like chrome)
