Well looks like nothing changed in chicago. I come back and it's still cloudy and chilly, though this week looks pomising.

How was supercar saturday? Any pics Sean?

It was a pretty big tun out Ken! It was a really nice day here Saturday. There's a slide show and video on FB.

It was a big turn out but a lot of kids came out (probably the same ones that went to the UTI show) causing a ruckus. They were revving their engines and being obnoxious. I think a car hit a pedestrian on the way out as well. I have a feeling it won't be at the Promenade again....

I ended up staying until around 11:45 to avoid the mess of everyone leaving/showing off.

Indeed. On the Nissan front, not many Zs, but a lot of GTRs showed up (more than normal). GTRs are going to be more common than our Zs soon :tup:

As the 2009/2010 are hittng the used market they are going for around high 60/low 70 meaning more people are scooping them up. We'll be seeing more and more of them.

charles doesnt do much installs anymore ..he said he was willing to install mine since it was his product.. but he will need 2-3 days since he runs a 1 man business and does a lot of phone support, shipping, machining, and CAD work every day... it will be hard for him to take a whole day off to work on it.

but i will try calling project x and see whats up.. thanks

Indeed. The Z is the forgotten child...and I'm ok with that (for the most part)!

Actually if Nissan treated the Z like the GTR it would be worse for owners that have an 09, or 10. Imagine if every year they improved the Z as much as the GTR.

Yeah but it's not really any different from any other product you buy. I'd expect a company to continually update their cars (for the better) over the production life span. It's also a great way to entice those impulse buyers to spend more money.

Is there some meet or event going on the weekend of the 17th? I thought I saw something about this, but maybe I'm just delusional :tup:

Yes on the 18th we'll be having a premeet cars and coffee followed by a cruise to the ChicagoZ meet. :tup:

I need premeet suggestions. The ChicagoZ meet is in Evanston.

Sure! Let me know.

Im planning on installing the SPC camber arms and aligned again next week so hopefully im correctly aligned! Haven't decided on the toe bolt install yet. I think the stock ones may be adequate.

About 50 miles for me as well. But it'll be a straight shot down 294 :tup:

Sunday May 18th Cruise.
Meeting at the Sears Woodfield Parking lot at 8:30am.
Departing Woodfield at 9:00am driving to: The Car Cave auto detailing demo.
1011 Rail Dr Woodstock IL.
A FUN 45min drive west on 90. We can hang out there to see the detailing pros show us how its supposed to be done. At some point we can DRIVE through the uninccorporated back roads. Very spirited drive on perfect roads. Maybe grab a bite to eat or just have another fun drive back to woodfield area.
Feel free to invite anyone you want to drive and hang out with.
Let me know if you are in.

The drive from Sears at Woodfield should be very cool. GTRs, Carrera GT, Corvettes and Vipers so far!
