it sounds like you know about autox, then you should know it is a copycat sport/event. i think the guy who finished 4th last year got this car a lot of attention, but then it makes no sense for new guys to try it as the miatas will probably rape the 370 again this year.

if nissan was more amature friendly, all they need to do is offer 18x10 front wheels, a torsen lsd and some camber adjustment

i picked up a cmod ride over the winter so i'm less concerned about "the" car to have to "win", but having a dual purpose car that's a blast on the street is a priority - which is why i'm considering the 370. agreed on the wheel/lsd choice - add sub-3000lbs with double-wishbones front/rear and 315's square for under 30k and we wouldn't be having this conversation. one can dream

The 370z was on my autox radar long before anyone on here owned the car, let alone Daniel finish at nats. Probably about 3 years by now. Anyway, who needs a co-driver in a prepped 370z at Nats? I'm carless, and my buddy Heitkotter thinks I'll beat him if I'm in one

I dont know based on your performance this past weekend in the 350 Z Im not so sure. ES miata and street tire tire STR MX5's smoked you? Think its going to take more than a 370Z to help you out of that hole. LOL! money would be on Bryan as co-driver who would put a 370Z on top. He put a street tire 350Z in top 5 OA this weekend at an SFR event.

Looks likes Brits 914 is finally starting to work better?

Last year you end up in a broken GXP. The year before that you break Glens 350....something tells me the codrive offers won't be poring in....
