Hope to see you up at TWS/TMR one of these days.
Next "The Drivers Edge" is Oct 12-13 at Texas World Speedway.

Very fast, and very challenging! I'll be there...

There were a LOT (~13) of us @ MSR this weekend...where were you? Or are you a one-track kind of guy?

Boy, I wish I could have gone. I did a track weekend at TWS recently, have an upcoming day at TMR (can't beat 'free'; a member of TMR invited me up to play hooky on a friday), and TWS again in Oct. and Nov. I'm sorta booked up through the end of the year. . .

I look forward to TMR; I've never been there.

The new Z is nice. I prefer the lines of the S2000, but to have a 6 cylinder for $26K is nice! It being so new, did you have to pay higher than the sticker?

I didn't go to MSR this weekend as my car's not broken in yet - would not have made much sense.

However I do plan on attending the hill country get away Chris is putting together - that sounds like fun to me.

Larry,

As for 26K for the Z...I don't know anyone who paid that. That price is for the base model which gets you exactly that - base. My car is the track model, ~290bhp, brembo brakes, 18" Rays wheels, DVD, NAV system -- I got all the options including adding leather and some other extras such as aftermarket stereo. My car was in the 40K's (MSRP only), but worth every penny. Stock vs stock I'll take it over anything on the market - just as Road&Track and Motortrend said. My $.02

I'd love to see your car in person. Looks great in pics. If you have a chance come by KK on Saturday so we can see it.
Is the Infinity version as powerful or is it geared more towards luxury?

The Infinity G35 Coupe is rated at 280 hp @ 6200 and 270 lb-ft of torque @ 4800. The 350Z is 287 and 274 respectively. I think the G35 suspension will be tuned toward better ride than 350Z.

BTW: Were you at the last Tuesday 350Z/S2K get together? There were so many S2K folks, I can't remember all.
