Having had the chance to check out the Z car show in Eastern Ontario today, with participants from across North America, I was truly humbled as I walked back to what now seemed like my very plain Jane sedan. Awesome restorations, awesome mods, and amazing owners with some serious addictions.

The highlight for me was getting a chance to SIT in the new Z concept car. There are NOOOOOOOOOo words to describe the feeling. Spotted one Sterling Silver SE from Maryland...the rest..pure ZZZZZZZZZ's This aint a subculture this was a full blown CULT!

yup

...when they rolled out the Z-God, Mr. K, the disciples lined up waiting for a chance to have their plastic Z cars autographed by him. Walking Z-zombies......
I truly had a great time.

The Z concept car tweaks all the raw emotions and sensations in a person that draws like minded followers to the Maxima..only ten- fold in terms of pure "I must have this car" salivation factor

Only twice as much? Pheh. One at the UNON meet was pushing 535 RWHP and there are a few I can think of pushing more like 600 at the wheels.

There should've been a black one owned by Peter I-Can't-Spell-His-Last-Name pushing 597 RWHP at the show.

Yep, probably the same guy. Volk AV3 wheels, Stillen GTZ-R, side skirts, rear valence, and Kaminari rear spoiler, blue color scheme inside the engine and interior, front mount intercooler, "Primespeed" sticker across the windshield
