I hope its as good as you say! Your background in driving experience is pretty convincing enough...( I pick up my Z in a few days)

All with over 400HP. Bought a Roush Mustang Convertible and just getting too old to do all the shifting anymore. So.....I sold the Roush and bought this Z! All I can say is wow! What a car. A little difficult in the ingress/egress but what a car. This thing has more power than I thought and handles almost as good as some of my track cars. Why I never considered one of these in the past is a mystery. I just cant stop saying wow! I am 69 years old and just thought my street rods were the bomb. I now have a new bomb!

You guys thinking about this should not worry too much. My big block hot rods are a different breed. I raced Healeys, Formula Ford, D Sport Racers and Lotus 7's and this can stick with some of them out of the box. I recently sold a 350HP 1993LE Miata that I had done everything to imaginable and it was a blast. It simply cannot compare with the sophistication of this Z. I was faster but didnt have the refinements of this car. It was a street legal race car that beat you to death on the streets. The pure race cars are gonna give it a go but for comfort and fun, this is hard to beat fellows!
