it seems that they secured another sponsor!


too bad we still wont see the 350Z... they keep pulling out last min on the entries, seems like its quite hard to get the 3.5L V6 VQ to be competitive and reliable.

I was reading in the gran am forums that the owner of the team was regreting that he had chosen the VQ instead of the infiniti v8, in fact he was regreting the 350z all togehter

I think they should have gone with the g35 and tube frame, they are tryng to get a unibody 350z to be competitive, thats going to take a lot of time and money

If your refering to the GT car, I don't think it finished. I seem to remember it being in the garage. It could easily be looked up.

Yes, the car did not finish, but it was semi competitive in terms of speed, the 350z is no where close

Congratulations to SS for their pole! Hopefully they can really start to show the 8's abilities this weekend and end up with a mark in the "W" column.
