This is Brent Metro’s Nissan 350Z the finished article is something of a work of art, you only have to look at the bodywork to work that one out for yourself, it is simply stunning to look at and as it stands would probably take top spot at any show.
But this car is more than just a show car, put your foot down and it will take you to 183 mph, which in anyone’s book is fast, the car now takes on a different persona now this is the sort of car that needs to be ripping the track up and this it has done too.
This car has spent too long around the show circuit, so now the plan is to make it lighter and we all know what that means, bye to most of the stereo equipment and a little nip and tuck here and there, suddenly this car is going to be racing.
Sure, the lambo style doors will have to go, but that is just part of the price to pay for extra speed.
You have think that the Nissan 350Z is one of those cars that can be a great day to day car, but with a little tweaking the 350Z can be all things to all men and women too!
