Re: The 2023 Nissan Z at Z Car Garage 10/23
Last week the new Z arrived at Z Car Garage (yes, again!) to serve as a Pace Car for the Charity Challenge vintage races at Sonoma Raceway. Rob Fuller gave 3-lap thrill rides around the track. I'll have a full report soon!

That wheel well clamp style ,perfectly vertical area of the fluid fender pressing plus the large bumper cover , takes away a lot ....just don't look at it that close, wonder how much$ for the engine and a 5sp Trans?XHd0Yme2CFbXC2P wrote: ↑Wed Oct 05, 2022 12:01 am Saw the car on Internet. Meh. Saw the car in person. Meh. It's unfinished. It lacks features. Its special trait is that it's different, and not in a good way. People want to love it and that's where it ends. Sorry. It's true.
At Kia ordering a complete engine in 03 anyway, they sent one from the assy line ,every thing was there even full of oil
I've seen 1 2023 Z ,a white one ...here in KC

Z Car Garage took delivery of their 2023 Nissan on 4/7, their 19th Anniversary of being in business!
I joined Rob to pick up the Z at Dublin Nissan and drive it back home. It was fun to be part of the Pre-Delivery inspection (something new to both of us) and remove the protective wrapping.
This is the Performance spec trim, 6-speed manual transmission and Diamond Black Pearl paint:

Spent a week driving the new Z Car Garage RZ34. Boost in a Z-car is always a good thing. Nice work Nissan. Love the rear fenders and tail lights!

The new Z arrived at my house yesterday. Excited to drive it this weekend!
I also had the opportunity to drive the shop Z on a fun run through Skyline last weekend. This was the hardest I've driven the new Z. I'll have my driving impressions soon

Re: The 2023 Nissan Z at Z Car Garage 10/23
Nissan invited us to drive the new Z from San Francisco to Los Angeles via the Pacific Coast Highway. It was an all-expenses paid 2-day event with a great group of people. I really like the Boulder Gray color and this is the longest time I've spent driving the 9-speed automatic model. Enjoy my report:
