| Hi, Just got back from driving the 370Z from Phoenix to Houston in the "Follow the Z Rally." Attached is a reenactment with the 370Z's of another historic journey from nearly 40 years prior. In October of 1969, Datsun brought a pair of pre-production 240Z cars into the Phoenix area for testing. Their trip is immortalized in a photograph taken near Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix, in front of the old Phoenix Greyhound Park. The picture shows the two Z test cars, with an early 510 chase vehicle, and Datsun personnel consulting a map during their trip through the Valley. Well, here we are, almost 40 years later, on the same exact corner, with three modern versions: Two 370Z's and a new 2009 Maxima. Enjoy ! Gregg Left to right the drivers of the 370Z's are Marty Huynh, Gregg Rogers,and Greg Childs

| i was hopeing for matching horsepower to the number out of the box, but im not suprised its sitting where it is but its still not bad. IMO i like the 350Z better but its great to see the Z car back on the market again. | |
