So I am fairly new to the Z ownership but have always loved this car. My dad even had the 350 and roadster when they first came out so that was nice to drive while in high school.
I must say I cannot believe I get to own such a beautiful car... a little back story... I grew up around sports cars and have always loved them and my dad still has a 66 AC Cobra (but that's a completely different beast). In college I had a 05 RSX Type S that I fully built with gt30 and sidewinder manifold making 500hp. Then I blew 2nd on the tranny, someone broke into it, and I had to pay for school. So I parted out
and traded it the day it got broken into. I got a car no one would mess with or care about a 2012 GTI. After having it for a year and feeling kind of bored with it anyway; I traded it for my GF to get a Juke since she loves them and needed a safer car. So I went from a 500hp beast to a 2007 FOCUS!!!! This was a low point lol. Well a few months later my friend (who works at the dealer where we got the Juke) called and said "we have a Z that needs to go". My GF said "let's go see it" boy did she regret those words! Well we figured there's no way I could afford both cars and or get approved. We go and this car is in mint condition, even smells new. It's a 2011 Touring Sport loaded with 26k miles. They originally wanted close to $30k but needing to move it and knowing me they offered it for $25k. I figured ok run everything doubt I can afford it and somehow he came back lower than my top figure. After going home for the night to think it over we realized it was too good of a deal to pass up on. So first thing the next morning we were back and luckily I did because someone else was coming in to see it that day!
So now a few months down the road I have been slowly building her to be what I want but unlike the RSX I am taking my time on this one and mainly doing cosmetics for now
I uploaded some photos since I cannot figure out how to just embed them in here but I will figure that out eventually. You can kind of follow the picture trail from the day I got her to now... And one of the Cobra.
