thanx guys. it mustve been divine intervention. i went there this morning and they just happened to have a 6 sp that was just off the truck. if you go on ebay, there are people selling the deposit on the MT for the car for thousands. i cant wait until the break-in is over. the six absolutely screams. but only up to 4 grand, of course handles like it is on rails i still miss the Grinch though.......

doesnt sound like it will be a problem. a couple of pulls to redline shouldnt be that big of a deal. although considering it has 50 miles on it now, i will be hard pressed to have 500 miles on it by then. but you can def have a ride though. if you (or anyone else) arent doing anything this sunday, come by the CL meet in midtown. details are here . from what i can gather, it seems that a few CL members will be showing up at the dyno with you guys. see you then.....

So am I gathering you will be there on the 14th??

I may try to swing by on Sunday, depends on the shopping schedule Jennifer has planned...

About the miles, don't you need a trip up to Chattanooga or Greenville next week... I had 800 miles on my car when I fist dyno'd it...

I do hope I can run by on Sunday and see you guys.

Nice ride man, and a damn good deal. Very nice for 37.

I just cant believe the freaking jackasses at the Nissan dealer try to charge 38-40k for a freaking Z Touring.

Does this thing have any room in the back? Is it useful at all? Hows the interior in comparison to the CLS and the Z?
Hows the Blows system, because the on in the Z is terrible?

Hot stuff. Props.
