Take a good look at this guy. No, really, take a good look at this man. He's not very attractive and probably doesn't smell good, due to him being from the land of sheeps, New Zealand. (FYI New Zealand has 5 to 1 ratio of sheep to people)
He started his legacy in 1969 and within 5 years he was able to win a championship for the South Pacific Saloon Car Championship. In 1990 he won the Rookie of the Year 24 Hours of Lemans.
In 1992 he joined the Z32 300ZX race team. Even though the 300ZX he drove was nothing like the street going Z32 300ZX that your aunt drives, it shared a fiberglass body that was slightly reminiscent, almost like a Fair Lady. 1992 He won the IMSA GTS Championship and won the 12 Hours of Sebring. 1994 was an impressive year for this sheep lover, he won 24 Hours of Lemans, 24 Hours of Daytona, and 12 Hours of Sebring. It should be noted that he did not allow his team mates to drive in these victories. Think about how crazy you would be driving 23 Hours straight. I'm sure he practiced the "Let It Flow" philosophy when it came to bath room breaks.
He is the all-time most winningest driver in IMSA history at 20 victories and 23 pole positions.
Steve Millen used his experience to create Stillen, originally a Z32 300ZX performance tuning house. He is considered as one of the top 300ZX tuners in the world, this was verified to me by watching OPTION VIDEO that featured 300ZX. Those crazy japs were gonzo over Steve Millen Products.
Now he has positioned himself as a 350Z Tuner and develops bullet-proof Suburbans for thrid party civilian protection.
