Thanks man! My measured drop in the front is 1.3" which is slightly more than advertised while the rear dropped 1.1" which is just about perfect for me!

Entry level DSLRs are extremely cheap these days, getting a camera like my Nikon D3000 only costs you around $400 new and it is a big step up from even the better point and shoots. Just buy one and start shooting pictures, the more you shoot the better you will get.

I love a clean looking car, I think the Z's lines suit a clean look better in my opinion. Blacked out fangs would look good, I am still considering it!

Hey everyone! I just figured I'd post some pictures and videos of a short friendly canyon run through Malibu I did with some friends yesterday. I had one passenger in my car, but two of my friends were riding their sport bikes while my other friend was driving his '96 Pontiac Trans Am.

We drove to the top of Piuma Rd, then down Schueren Rd and back to Mulholland. It was a gorgeous day, the Z felt great tearing through the twisties. The pavement was kind of rough though, I was scraping my INGS lip all the time but that is why I bought it used, I knew this would happen.


Anyways, onto the pictures:





At the top of Piuma:







My friends bikes:






View from the top:






And my friends:






Here are the videos of the run. This first one is going up Piuma, the highlights are going through the Malibu Canyon road tunnel at 0:40 and the run up the canyon starts at 2:05. I didn't push it too hard though, lots of cyclists and motorcyclists.





This second video is on the way down Shueren Rd, this time with the GoPro mounted outside on the hatch glass. The highlights are: 4:45 WOT acceleration, and the last 2 minutes where you can see a memorial for 9/11 that our school puts on (each flag represents one victim).





Hope you enjoyed this post, thanks for reading!
