Small world, the driver of the Schuitemaker 350, BJ Zacharias, frequents on my350z.com. It's a cesspool of a 350 forum, IMO, but it's the most popular and people like BJ post there.
My emerging track addiction is mostly recreational. If my 350 "needs" those Motons, then methinks I "need" a 993 (or 996) before that.

Michael,
Call me if you get bored this weekend and you want to come by. I'll be around all weekend. I can show you how to do things wrong the first time and then how to correct them on a 993.

I liked the G35 and the comment on the Nissan vs Infiniti dealers is very accurate. However, in my area it was impossible to find a 6 speed G35 without every conceivable option on it, including a sun top which I personally hate. The difference in actual price paid between my Z and a G35 6 speed would have been around $5000 for the G35 due to market forces at the time. The dealer told me they would not take an order for a car without everything on it, and would never sell it at less than list price.

It was the other way around few years ago when I lived in Texas, I ended up buying a Land Cruiser in CA because it was $5K less delivered than buying one locally.

Michael,
BJ and Michel are friends of mine. BJ has helped me out immensely on setting up my car and giving me some coaching. Actually the best coaching was to just let him drive my car, hold on, and watch. That team is a good group of guys.
