Sorry to hear that Red. Everytime I get in mine the LAST thing I am is bored. What are you considering as a replacement? If its a new junkstang I'd seriously consider sobering up before placing the for sale sign on her.

GL with your next purchase though man and hope you get what you want out of your next car

There's just nothing that really interests me to do with it. I can throw on some rims and brakes, a proper LSD, and maybe a supercharger...but I don't think I'll be happy with it. I got into the Z thinking it'd be something fun to DD that I could keep the warranty, but I think I want more. No point staying with the Z if I'm going FI...I will probably build another AP1 before FI'ing the Z.

We will see how it goes. There haven't been many biters on the car at this price, and I like it enough not to undersell it. I may hang onto it. I think with the right mods it may turn out to be a better car. I will probably have a better LSD in later on, and I think that may sort out some things. Proper rubber will help a bit more as well. I just don't know what I'm going to do for power.

Having ridden in m4's mustang on the dragon, I have to say it felt significantly more composed than the Z, not to mention much more powerful.

My girlfriend is about to get home and we are gonna go, as Kenchan says, "motor" the Z. I like that term Ken. We are gonna go hit up the scenic twisties along side the Delaware River, PA side.

My gf and I are going to "motor" the z over to the local lebanese place and grub down. Then to a hidden lot out of public reach where one can wild out a bit..Apparently g-force makes girl's panties drop

Exactly how I feel about my Z... I absolutely love it. Driving it 1x a week because of this crappy weather is getting to me

Red, you were one of the ones who convinced me to get Invidia too...

Good luck to you bro...
