I dont think the car will ever be driven fast enough to utilize that 747 wing

but.... build it for yourself. if you can honestly tell me you like black/white/blue combo then power to you, but, that combination is never anywhere except for ...sema/hot import night/modified mag and stuff. and props to you if you drive that thing around like a daily, but i kinda have my doubts...

if your building it to get into those kinda things, then props and good luck, but

i build my car to be scrip/scrapin/sparkin & straight hardparkin/showstoppin/lowridin/parking lot pimpin/cruisin and break necks...and overall enjoy it.

tips? paint it all white.....get rid of the spoiler....SLAM THAT ***** and id say you have a winner.

not on bags either...makes me sad to see a sexy car stanced...then watch it pull away sky jacked so he can go over speedbumps...

good luck with the build man, you should open a thread about it for other 70 enthusiasts
Lixam, thanks for the constructive criticism! I built the car for myself. I planned out the build all the way and designed the paint scheme as well as helped a lot of companies develop parts for the 370z. This car was designed by me to be a triple threat (Street, Track and Show). This car will be daily driven on spring pressure which will be around 700rwhp. To be honest I love the white blue combo and I had many many many ideas running through my head on what color schemes worked on this car. I chose blue because on the outside I wanted people to see a cool calm yet aggressive car but once you sit in the inside its fiery and full of life. These pictures do not due the car any justice at all. The body kit on this car is one of the most rare kits available. There is only 1 or 2 cars in the world with this kit and both of them are in Japan. I painted this car to reflect the stylings of the GT2 Porsche because everyone already confuses the 370z with a Porsche so I chose not to fight the stigma. Like I said before the car is not finished and has several parts that will be installed to fix the flow issues... i.e. like a CF roof. The Gap issues will be fixed later on after the car is fully tuned and shipped back to me. One of the options I am looking at is Air Ride Technologies' shockwave Titanium racing air ride system... but I am also keeping an eye out and trying to learn more about air ride systems before i make my purchase.

I dont mind if people dont like my car... just be constructive about it.

thanks again Lixam for being cool and mature! I respect your response

Well as I got over my cars rear in came out. I controled is somewhat to keep it from going under the 18 wheeler and getting pancaked but I had no choice but to run into his tires with hit the front of my car and then straighten the car out. Im just glad to be alive. Sucks I had ToeKnees wheels on there tho which the front face cracked off the barrel and the back is bent some.....guess im buying 2 rims for the price of 4 now

Apparently i lost control because of the two air pockets created by the 18wheelers? Atleast thats what one of the truck drivers said....

Actually I have to pull the wing off and re-mount it to the frame as we are scheduling a sanctioned series of standing mile races against Veyrons, Lambos, Ferrari's and GTR's... so yeah it will be used.

Any dyno sheets for your claimed power of 700whp street and 1000whp?

You don't take criticism well I see? BTW you know that other PPW 370z has new wheels on, you just don't wanna admit it looks good. It is tastefully put together and pleasant on the eyes even with the kevlar but minus the dumb stickers. See below...

Damn Johnny :/ sorry to see this happen to you bro. Good thing you are alive and nothing happened to you. The car is just a piece of material we can all replaced down the road even though it hurts to see it go but a human to replace its impossible. Glad you safe.
