Mark, I am actually in Smyrna which is south of Nashville. The website rules were very clear in that there should be no commercial activity on the site so the subject of how to purchase is prickly. So, I think a phone call when you get closer to a Purchase would be better. Send a note on this site or call and we will talk about it. Note that you being a member of our military and deployed makes you at the very top of the food chain to me and I will help any way I can. Dad was a Marine in WWII and brother was Army in Vietnam.
It sounds cheesy but be careful.
Ferrari, got your note and replied so let me know if you get it. I may not be that valuable on the Z and here is why. Nissan is publicly traded so any news that comes out of Nissan can effect the stock price so in reality they limit things to positive only. I did get a sales report for November and everything is going way up while most other OEMs are down. But, the Z was left off of the report which tells me things are probably not good sales wise. They don't tell us about production numbers but I am getting a hell of a deal on my monthly lease.
I've been to Japan 27 times (I think) and have seen most everything Nissan does including watching a hydrulic battering ram destroy a 350 from the side to check side impact details. It was silver and after the ram hit the Japanese techs and I all had tears in our eyes. No language probleme here.
I've seen our competitors cars torn completely apart for study and, with the exception of the GTR, I think the Z is a showcase of technology and quality in manufacturing and build. The car is a religion over there and if you are lucky enough to be an assembly tech or designer it is something you will tell your kids about. Hard to explain but the car should cost +60% of what it does. It's a true gem I think.
Thanks for the feedback................. Can't wait to get that car! First color choice was Black Cherry and two was Gun Metal.
