Well, with a lack of much to do in DFW, me and my wife thought it would be fun to do car shows as I'm planning to mod my car little by little, I thought it would be fun to be more active in socializing with automotive enthusiasts such as myself.
So last week me and my wife decided to share the car show experience by entering a "Hooters Charity Car Show" in Mesquite. I entered in 2 categories, Import and Sports car. I won first place in both segments. I wasn't all that impressed with my winning at first because my general competition was so slim. Import my competetion was a modded sentra and miata. And sports car my comp was a 2002 trans am. He won best overall due to his extensive mods. But people seemed to favor the Z body style over anything on the lot that day. Well win or lose I had a great time and its a blast being with enthusiasts.
Now last night, I entered my car in the car show worth posting. I was in a charity car show in mesquite. I had like three heavily mustangs and a challenger a few modded trucks with Boomin' systems and chrome rims, undercarriage lights etc... they appropriate vehicles took 1 place in there subsequential category.
MY GUN METALLIC 2011 370Z base+sport 7at. I prepped my car with Meguirs ultimate wash, clay, polish,wax and a self done interior detail with a homage to Puerto Rico with a flag draped in the trunk won best "Best of Show".
The reception the Z has been getting is unreal. I realize how much Nissan is not doing to promote this car. Most people have not seen one up close or have only seen the base car or NISMO. The sport pkg seems either to be more rare or just less seen??? Many don't know the paddle shifters are on the auto and they are amazed by the interior layout of the car.
My signature in both shows is when judging begins. I enter my car turn it on and rev to red 3x. Then shut the car off. It seems to be an attention getter and I get bombarded with questions on power. I guess people find the exhaust note more impressive than I do??? Lol.
I just thought i'd post that. I'm truly a proud owner and take my car not to win, but for people to get familar with the car. I had a feeling that people just don't know anything about 370z's.
At the end of last weeks car show, I had a guy come up to me who owned a mustang, slightly older one. He loved it so much he said he will most likely buy one.
that's a SWITCH. Lol.
