14th Annual Z-Nationals-370z Best In Class.
 

Hello everyone, just got back from the 14th annual Z-West Coast Nationals. Was a really great turn out, lots of awesome Z's from every year!!
I was fortunate enough to take home best in class for the 370z stock entry.
I told Paul from Amplified Motorsports, that I wouldn't make a big deal about it, being the humble guy that I am. :tup:

Congrats! You definitely have a nice looking Z. It was nice meeting and chating with you and your wife. I wish you could've turned on that car for me to hear the exhaust. Oh well, there's always more meets to look forward to.

Congrats MC1! :tup:

congrats mini!! nice i wish i went!!.. was the amplified car in a seperate class like mild or wild?.. how do the classes go at that event?

wow GREAT PICs!!! congrats on your BIG trophy!

Congrats
your car looks nice

Congrats Braden. I wanted to go but i had to take care of family stuff.

So how much did you pay the judges..lol:icon17::icon17: jk

I'm a little confused on the judging portion since you and our project z was in the same class. :confused::confused: I must have missed something lol

On the other hand, you won first so that makes me feel better since we worked on your car too:tup::tup:

Congrats again man! It was nice meeting you and your wife.

yeah, wish you could have showed up, it was a really cool event, nice seeing all the older 240's, 300's, etc. I'm not sure how they judged the cars, I really just went to hang out and have fun looking at the other cars, never expected to get anything out of it, it's cool though, thanks for all the great work, my Nismo exhaust sounds really good now with the Berks installed!! Lot more fun to drive, now that I can actually here the exhaust a bit. :tup:

congrats. but i am confused. how does ur stock looking Z beat DDMs and Amplified's Zs? I personally love all the cool things (system and lights) on Amplified's Z, and i love DDMs drop and rims, but i just dont see whats done to urs. either way, beautiful cars. congrats again

Hey Mike,

Yeah, very cool meeting you too, I'll look you up the next time we are in Vegas, hit me up when you come down next week. Those Forgestars are looking pretty sweet on your car:tup:

Braden

The classing was a little wierd. The Mines 370Z, the red Z Car Garage 370Z, and my 370Z were in the 370Z-Modified class. Minicobra's Z, a completely bone stock Z, and Amplified's Z were in the 370Z-Stock class.

The results were...

370Z-Stock
1st - Minicobra1
2nd - Amplified
3rd - Bone stock blue Z in the Nissan Sport booth.

370Z-Modified
1st - Z Car Garage
2nd - DDMotorsports
3rd - Mines

The poor Mine's car was forgotten about. They didn't even judge his car so they just defaulted him to 3rd place.

Sounds good Braden!

lol im still scratching my head on the judging. lol

maybe MH can shed some light on how the judged the winners. From what Paul told me, DDM should have been first on the modified class ???

Mike are you coming down for Extreme Auto?

Well, to their credit, the Z Car Garage 370Z did have more mods. We both had suspension mods, we both had HFCs, we both had intakes. I had wheels, he had a cat-back exhaust, StopTech BBK, and painted fangs & rear valance.

Yes I will be at the D1GP/EAF event.

Actually, that's probably why, because it still looks somewhat stock, I think people voting on them just liked the clean lines, probably felt the other cars looked too modified with stickers, etc. That's the only thing I can think of, otherwise I do agree with you. Although, I have done a few things such as, wheel spacers, rotors, Eibach springs, painted front fangs, Nismo exhaust, shift lever, etc. Plus mine was the only one with Persmimon interior and factory Nav, when you see the car in person, it looks different (better) then stock, but still somewhat stock, most people cant figure out what it is. Trust me, next year, it won't be stock looking :tup:
