After a 14 hour travel day on Tuesday (one cancelled flight) I finally picked up my performance manual Z on Wednesday morning in Mississippi and drove it back to Iowa arriving today. A long trip, but lots of fun! It was hard to keep it under 4000 rpm! Ceramic coating is next week. After a 2 year wait I can’t believe it is sitting in the garage.

Long wait for sure but had to be surreal to finally take that first drive 😌

Looks gorgeous too, Nissan really nailed the red & blue colors for this gen; Just wish they woulda added a more exotic option to the palette like an orange or green

It was actually very good. I have a bad back and any long car trip tends to cause problems. I stopped every couple of hours and I was very comfortable the entire trip. I am very pleased with the comfort level.

Very Nice. Congratulations. The red color looks great, especially with the black roof. Have fun and safe travels in your new ride. Also, thanks for sharing as it is great to see us enthusiasts getting their cars.
