Yeah, since the Z32 has been out the longest, and is our primary vehicle we service. We have created a MUCH larger customer/fan base. Therefor attendance is generally Z32. The Z33 crowd has made a good effort in increasing their numbers at events like these.

I hope to see an ever larger presence of Z34's and their owners at events like ours all over the country. We try to make all of the models welcome, even the older 240Z's etc. If my memory serves me correctly, we had 10 to 12 370Z's at this year's Z Nationals. I would really like to tripple that number next year. I have spoken to a number of Z34 owners who would have liked to to have attended, but couldn't due to other obligations.

I was a little disappointed in the low number of Z34 owners willing to put their cars on the dyno though. I didn't get a chance to see your NISMO go on, I really wish I had! As for the numbers on the dyno...

Keep in mind, all dyno's are different. Some will read higher, while others will read lower. Also, there is a HUGE difference between actuall RWHP vs what is produced at the crank (Generally what manufactures post as the cars horsepower output).

As for me....I was working the front tent as most of you pulled into the lot. I was one of the guys greeting you and getting everyone checked in. I later pulled my White '92 non-turbo 300zx slicktop on the dyno. If you didnt see it, you heard it!

My the370Z.com homework for all of you: Start taking your cars out to your local Z car events!! I will post different events throughout the year for you guys to consider. Keep in mind, this community has gotten this large and strong by owners being excited about their cars and showing them off.

An awesome event for all of you to consider is ZDayZ '10. It will be coming up soon in 2010 and is alot of fun....if interested PM me about it and I can get you in contact with one of the event coordinators for more info. The reason I say this is that rooms/ cabins are booking up fast in the event village and I would again like to see ALOT more 370Z's up there.
