*raises hand*

*looks around*

I've seen a handfull of new 350Z's here in Tampa... just wondering if any other Tampa owners post here?

 

im not a z owner but i'd like to get a couple runs against one,just for fun...

 

I post here

 

any of you guys interested in a meter for your straight line performance give me a yell...on a safe street or at the track prefered (sunshine)

 

Just got my Touring loaded last week. Great car, but, a bit of a rogh ride.

 

A co-worker of mine mentioned that the Sunshine Speedway in St. Pete will let you race on their track, even timing your speed on the quarter-mile. He said it only costs around $8. I thought he was ********ting me.

Anyone know if this is legit?

 

ive not heard of run 1/4's at the speed way ..it's banked 1 mile track i think? but sunshine does have an 1/8th mile drag strip for 15$ every wednesday T&T ...it's fun ...you'll get to about 80mph...

Sup Steve! When I get my Z, you will have to bring your CL down

 

for sure...

 

Clearwater Beach here.. I plan on picking up a new z "soon"

when i get it ill let ya know and we can run around on the howard franklin bridge

 

Another Tampa Z here - although I'm sure I'm older (44) than alot of you guys based on the "wanna race" mind set - - just be safe on the streets - please - my family is out there with you.

Gotta love the Z though, can't wait for an ECU upgrade.

Steve

 

I want to make it clear - I'm not flaming any of you younger guys - been there, done that (street race) - I went on to race in the SCCA all the way to the national runoffs - - all I'm saying is find a "safe" way to have fun - - - believe me I'd like to run my Z up to 156 mph too - I just don't see I-75 or other public roads being the place - - try some sort of organized race group, you can't beat the adrenalin rush - -

 

Steve,

Just so that you don't feel old and alone at 44 yrs, I am also a new Z owner here in Brandon (45 yrs). Don't worry, Your family is safe when I am on the road in the Bay Area.

Bradenton here.

 

Hey Lance,
I figured there was a few of us "older" guys - - lol - - What color,
type, etc Z did you get?? How long have you had it? I turned 4000 miles already, I drive from new tampa to lakeland everyday to work so the miles are going to add up - but that's what I got the car for was to drive, it's keeping me busy after work just keeping it clean - lol -

take care,
Steve

 

Steve,

It's a silver Touring with, mud flaps, mats, stainless kick plates, cargo net, leather heated seats. To be honest, I let my wife pick out the one she thought was "CUTE", and only determined what it was after we got it home. Bought it right off the showroom floor in Brandon without ever driving one.
Bit of a rough ride though. Considering changing the springs to smooth things out a little. I have only had the car for three weeks and have less than 500 miles on it, so, maybe the suspension will loosen up and give a smoother ride.

Lance

 

tampa here, would like to run someone

 

where at in tampa...im in pasco could meet you half way?

 

hey bradenton have you had your car out to the track yet?

 

sure man.....that type s seems quick.....why dont all us tampa z owners go out to the track on 1320 and all compete....i have exhaust work done to the car and i will probably have an intake on it by 1320...we can all run and get times.....what do you think? we can all meet up at one spot and ride out together....even you mr. type s....you can join our elite cars
