Yeah met you as well as KKcobean awhile back when i had the daytona z, met at the wing factory in sterling. Anyhow, just bought a C2S and would love to take some pics of the cars. Great looking car man. Any initial thoughts, lol?

The car does everything well, and for a car that you can drive on the town, does it easily. Anyone can get in this car, and handle it well, unlike some of the other cars I have in my garage. (some will / can bite you in a heartbeat.)
9 stars out of 10 imho.

Yea, I have not driven it for a few days now, can't wait till I get home and have the chance again. Hello Road-Trip!!
I think that while at first you definitely get the impression it is a large heavy car, you realize quickly that it is more of an extension of you. The driver's side is designed sort of like a cockpit and all the gauges are snugly around you. Once you are moving the car feels very planted and yet, VERY VERY quick and nimble.
The Multi-Function Display can be distracting, but I think that will go away once the 'newness' wears off and I stop playing with it while driving. I think the ride comfort is exactly what you want in a sport car; a firm ride, but comfortable and supporting seats.
All in all, so far I think the car is really what I have been working on for the last couple of years to make my 350Z into. It is an impressive car and I can only hope to be able to hold off on any upgrades until the newness wears off. ;-)

WOW, those are some great pics Alicia, Thanks for posting. :-)
As for that ginger kid... He is crazy NUTZ...
I wanted to play around a bit in that lot, but was just finishing my breakin and I know I could never come close to comparing to his antics..
I will tell you that I drove up from VA with him and we had a lot of fun on the drive up. Both cars are gonna be great on the Rally.
Hopefully I will get my Blog started in the next day or so. Keep an eye out on AKARALLY.com or NAGTROC for the GT-R's progress through the rally.
