My first comment wasn't meant negative against the car. Hope you took it that way. Some people really think rwd is a lot of fun, and I can understand why. The drifto comment was meant to mean that it is a whole different style of driving. I personally think the Z is a sexy, and very capable car. So congrats!

Don't worry about it. Participating in online forums means you have to have a thick skin because tone doesn't come through well. If you dont, you get all butt hurt about everything.

Congrats!!! So when are you coming out to challenge the RX8s in BStock at autox???

More than a few folks feel that despite the "lemming" following of the RX8 in BStock right now, the 350Z may actually end up being the car to have once a few folks put some more development into them....

What is it, like 14hrs of labor for just test pipes? I heard the engine is a bear! Do to the lack of room in the engine bay. It's a really nice car non the less. Sure you get oversteer, but not more grip than the WRX. LOL @ some people.

No, your thinking of the headers, which DO take about that many hours of labor. The test pipes are only a matter of minutes however, really easy install.

Yeah, Matt. You'll need to be out there one day. There aren't too many Z's competing.
