I've read so far a few other people have come back to the z. After quite a few recent changes in vehicles I ended up with a gti and got my wife a Q7. The gti is definitely a fast and very fun car, and I really prefer it around town to almost anything, even the audi, but as a track vehicle it just kept overheating due to the turbo and tight packaging. I wanted to go a bit more extreme so I ended up buying another member's racecar z! I took it out to one event so far into advanced hpde to test out the thing and get used to driving a manual again for the first time since my old z in 2016!

To my surprise I was very quickly catching a couple c8 corvette, a 911 gt2rs, a couple z06, audi ttrs, and several other very fast cars. I forgot how easy this platform is to drive fast! Fwd turbo is a lot harder to make go fast, and I'm so happy to be back behind an engine that really loves to be revved out! Looking forward to posting up some videos and photos soon!
