The Ferrari challenge was awesome.. Me and my buddies drove out to Tooele to ride at the motocross track but the wind was so bad that we ended up going to Miller Motorsports Park and checking out the cars and racing action. It was really cool. Glad to see you made it out there too man!

It was way windy out there! It was cool to see all those cars, I wonder how many millions of dollars in cars were there that day. Crazy!

^I couldn't believe the kind of money those teams must have. What gets me even more is that they are dealers that sponsor the teams. I don't care how many of those cars you sell I just can't see sponsoring that type of a race team being a good investment.

One other thing that really really got me going, as I was leaving there was a NEW california sitting by the end of the padock that we were looking at, Some dude walks up and starts touching it and rubbing his hands all over it. I was so pissed, me and all of my friends just looked at him shook our heads and said "if we owned this car you would be knocked out right now" the dude didn't even get what we were mad about. :facepalm:

schrute 04-12-2010 03:06 PM

What a DB! That guy will get knocked out someday if he keeps that up.

That's true about the sponsorships, how can that make money with everything they have to spend? Maybe it's all about tax deductions.

370zdub 04-12-2010 03:33 PM

^I was thinking tax deductions, or that Ferrari takes its top 20 or whatever dealers and gives them a race team. Because as far as I could tell all the 430's were prepped identically.

The guy was a DB for sure and the guy that was with him was all telling him to lean on it and take his pic. I had to walk away before I started dropping people.

Also trying to decide whether to leave emblems alone, paint them flat black or get the black chrome ones.
Thinking about an overlay on the roof (flat black of course).
Can't decide if I should paint the center caps flat black.
Also thinking about a flat black overlay on the mirrors.
Need to get some 6k HID bulbs to match the LEDs.
Tow hook?

Opinions welcome!

I think the roof in flat black would complete the car... and the overlay could always be removed

Cars sick btw , I love the wheels

Blacking out the front fangs looks hella nice....Kinda makes the Z look like a baby GTR...What type of paint did you use to your fangs and grill?

Thanks man! Yeah, I need to find someone to do the roof. Like you say, if I don't like it, it comes right off. But I think I'll like it.

I love how the blacked out fangs kind of mimic the GTR. I have to give credit to the many before me that did this mod - I think I decided the day I joined this forum to do it, just took me a while to get to it. Thanks for the comments!

no problem man....

Jeff, i forgot to mention to you. have your exhaust checked. The pipe on the driver's side i don't think is lined up correctly. its closer to the body than the passenger side. if you measure the distance between the tips to the bumper you will notice its almost touching compared to the other side
