Nope, I was shocked that DIDN'T happen, though. One girl sat in the seat and didn't understand the pace car. So she just took off and started driving all by herself while everyone was doing the warm-up lap haha.

You didn't miss much on Sunday, trust me. Lines were longer than usual. All they had was more 2XL's, and the only reason they gave me a hat is because they knew I kept getting hosed, and was in line so many times.

I'd stick with a Logitech G27, personally. A lot cheaper than the Fanatic's. Tell me what you end up doing about the cockpit setup - that's the only thing I'm missing right now. I'm tempted to build my own out of wood, since I already have a "racing" seat sourced...

I have a Playseat that I picked up mega cheap from a local friend... very similar to what they were using. I want a Fanatec so I can use it on the Xbox as well as PS3/PC. And their higher end pedals have a load cell instead of a spring in the brake as a bonus! I could set that up in front of my 56" tv and be set.

The brake pedal is fixed easily on the G27's with a special piece of rubber. I cant remember the type, but there are MANY write-up's on it online, and it is a simple DIY that gives a solid pedal feel.

Understood on the compatibility, however - the XBox not using the G27 is BS if you ask me.

I don't like the Playseat setups specifically because of the metal bar down the center. I want more of a natural, open car feel. Blame my fat feet for that :-/

GLZC 2013 Picnic 10/27 11am-2pm Kensington MI
 

Before they go into storage.. we're having a chilly picnic this weekend (chilly as in cold, not as in chili - unless you want to bring some). Check out our website for more info -

greatlakeszclub.com - View topic - Official 2013 GLZC Kensington Picnic - Sunday 10/27 11am-2pm

Anyone planning on going to Zdayz? I'm going to head down to NC on 5/14 and was wondering if anyone wanted head out as a Z group.

Yep! We're running the exhaust competition again this year too! We have one caravan leaving the same time and place as years past... Departing around 6AM Wednesday from near I275 and I94. We'll meet up with a couple groups from Ohio before noon and arrive at Fontana around 3-4:00. Had a couple folks from west michigan meet us last year for the whole trip.

More info will go up on the GLZC forum and FB soon. :)

If anyone needs a room for Zdayz hit me up. I'm staying at Nantahala Village and have a reservation. My buddy who was going to head down with me is no longer able to take the trip with me. The room is about 140 bucks per night and I now have an extra bed available. The reservation is Wed - Sat.

Send me a PM if interested in splitting the bill with me!

Nantahala Village | Offering Rental Cabins with Awesome Views, Lodge rooms with Hot Tubs and breath taking sunsets, on site restaurants with decadent deserts. In the Great Smoky Mountains of Western North Carolina

Looks like a nice place. I got lucky and should be getting an FVR cabin in the next couple of days.

I thought they were all sold out at Fontana Village? I'd rather stay at Fontana if that isn't the case.

I just noticed you said you got lucky... so I'm assuming someone canceled.

Yep. Just waiting on the actual transfer of the reservation...

Sig - would you mind if I meet up with you guys at 275/94?

It might be that Or I could possible join in on 75.

We would love to have you! Are you on FB? We will post the times and everything there and on the glzc forums at the least if I forget here. :)

Done and done.

Hey guys,

I'm new to the forum and live in the Monroe area. I am currently looking for a new 370z.. I was interested in a 2014 base+Sport Package, but I think I'm going to wait for a 2015 Sport Package model.

Are you guys partial to any dealers in the Detroit area for support? Any respected techs in the area?

I would be open to meets with Z owners... I enjoy OTD at Waterford Hills and did quite a few there with my 2013 Boss 302. My goal would be to build a street/weekend track car.
