There is an attorney in landfall with a tripple black M3 E46. Rodzik is his name I believe, but I dont think he has rims. Anyway I live in Landfall and have a black Z with 5% tint and 19 in black ro_ja's with chrome lip, but I drive a gray FX45 during the week. I'll look for you around.

I will try to stop by if work lets up. The tune went great! Tune alone made 20 hp from 4000 to 5500 and 35 ft/lbs torque. Peak HP was 267.2 at wheels. Nothing like you boosters, but I can feel the difference.

Slammed at work - like always. Hope the tuning went well. I'll still try to stop by after work cause I know those things tend to last past closing hours.

I heard a black supercharged Z died and is sitting in the shop at Nissan. My condolences to the owner. 
One night away... and I'm gettin' nervous. I'm not used to speaking in front of people, especially people I don't know, about a topic I'm just learning that they are experts of, so please bare with me.
I'm not sure how well lit the parking lot will be, or if we'll be able to park near each other (because there will be a large party upstairs), but I'm going to bring a camera with me to try and get a few pictures of the cars if that is ok with everyone.

If I come down, I will bring my DSL camera (can work wonders with bad lighting) and the S4 the M3 is pulled apart in the garage getting its new coils on it

Fun
I think that the best part of this gathering is meeting the wide range of folks who share our enthusiasm for the Z/G and cars in general. I'll bet we have just about every age, profession, and skill level covered. From those who have never pushed the throttle all the way open, to those who live in the throttle. Don't look at it as a meeting that has to be structured, but more of a gathering of new friends, with one thing in common; Cars (Zs and Gs to be precise) and you will do just fine.
I think the weather will cooperate and we may have a nice cool, clear night.
See you there!
Tom

that was my brothers Z. it blew on the dyno. we knew that it was weak from the previous owner running it very very lean for a long time and expected it to happen eventually, but not this soon. i guess his build up is gonna start sooner than expected now.

everything was normal a/f ratio was great right around 11 i believe. it was not the people running the dyno or tuning its fault by any means. as i said we saw it coming because we had had problems already leading us to believe that one of the pistons had been stretched from being so hot from how lean the previous owner had the car. i think the numbers were in the high 300's before she let go

Hey all! I've lost count because some are bringing guest and not everyone PM'ed me or sent me an e-mail. Ken from Nissan will be there and I think he might bring someone. We'll be between 10 and 15. It should be a good turn out I think. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone.
Stack,
Yup... I'm losin' it.
Kkilo1323,
I think that's why I'm a bit nervous, because I'm not a car Guy.
I thought I had a lot more to add, but I'm so tired...
I see you guys tomorrow night.
