Only problem is rental car. You can't rent Zs (or anything close) there. Only closest thing I saw was Mustangs from Hertz, in ATL. (but that is a LOT further than Knoxville)

and i don't mind if it's a bit further from zdayz, i'd most probably rent a car, a 350z if i can... i can't be at the dragon and not drive it!
I drove the dragon in my Ford Ranger last year!

It is a 6 hour drive to Fontana Village from Little Rock, last year we managed to somehow turn that into a 12 hour drive.

Stopping in Nashville to stare at all the hot chicks probably had something to do with that though..

(The video is in mp4 format. I used quicktime to watch it)

In the video it picks up an 8500 but doesn't make a peep with the STi pointed right at it, parked in the space just in front of the cop car!

BTW: I have done this three years in a row. (I don't think I will make it this year )Everyone who loves driving must drive this road at least once in their life. -It's that good. One of the videos I made at the dragon gave my boss motion sickness when he watched it.

I drove from Ft. Myers Florida in around 12hrs. It's worth the drive.

I'm sure you can crash with someone. I hope you can make it, besides, it's still over 4 months away and you're a baller

I've been on the Dragon with everything but the Z. Cavalier (that was fun!), Rustang, Izuzu Trooper, Chevy Trailblazer, Ford Exploder, and a Honda Goldwing.

I so hope I can take the Z on it for Zdayz

She'll be there... in the corner with a video camera.

Actually she got yet another job, so she might not be able to get off work.
